Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Had a smashing day today, in the company of a handsome young man. Bit haughty for me, but nice enough fella. I suppose his aloofness is a kind of defence mechanism. Name’s Captain Wentworth. Anne blew him out and now he’s back on the scene…. They’ve actually both been keeping me company all day, while I’ve been crafting and getting ahead of the TV shows next weekend. Saturday 15th : 11am 2pm 4pm I…
Hi there, Friday’s blog a private peek – and I wannatellyoualittlestory… Communication. We all communicate differently. Some of us are direct, some of us speak in inference. Some of us hear literally, some of us read between the lines. Please allow me to expound… If my Mum says “Would you like a cup of tea?” she is usually poised in the kitchen by the kettle, and is offering to make a cup of tea for you. If I say to…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Took a day off work today. Felt a bit under par and also needed to regroup. You and I know that running round like a blue-arsed fly is no solution; yet I’m getting caught up in a constant stream of work, tv shows, work. I know, I know. Choices, choices, choices. Since I’m are trundling off back up to Hochanda for the 3rd time in a week this evening with Paul, in readiness for…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Long day today. Been a day of meetings and forward planning. It’s Show time soon. And I mean GLASGOW SECC here we come! Haven’t been to the Scottish show for years, and am really looking forward to it. The NEC falls a week later than usual, so we can do both for once. SECC Glasgow. March 5th-8th NEC Birmingham. March 19th – 22nd So Brother Steve, Tom, Paul and I were going through spreadsheets…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been a crazy busy few days. Haven’t felt well to be honest; half the staff are off sick with the lurgie, so I guess it’s my turn. Woke up with all the best intentions, all set to chase off back for the 9am TV show. But sometimes you just have to give in, listen to your body. Fortunately, Paul was there to keep calm and carry on, and I trundled down the motorway ….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Early doors here. Revving up for today’s TV shows and off up to the studios again. I’ve just realised something – it’s all about animals! 2 – 4pm Paul and I will be showcasing Cherry Green’s spectacular Under The Sea stamps and Groovi Plates…What a treat! If you like colouring in, you’ll love these! Then at 6pm, we will be launching a collection of superb Fresh Cut dies, designed by our Mel. Are you…
Hi there, First of the month? February already? What is going on ?!? Here we are, hurtling through 2020 at breakneck speed! Still, we do gain a whole day this year – it’s a leap Year after all. 24 extra hours. To be fair, I’d need about 24 extra hours a day for a year to catch up. But there we have it – One day at a time, I will get there, wherever that is… Back to AbFabFabFeb! Up…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well today I get to spend the day with our Sam AND our Lucy. SAM – You’ll be familiar with that name. Been on the Clarity Design team for many years. LUCY is one of our super talented inhouse graphic artists, who took Sam’s sketches and ideas, and turned them into stamp and stencil designs for us. I brought her up to the TV studios for a jolly, so she can see what goes…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Have I mentioned the beautiful new collection of Under The Sea ClarityStamps and Groovi plates designed by Cherry Green? Excited to be showcasing these this weekend! When? Sunday 2-4pm Where? On TV at Hochanda.com The other evening I was in a headspin. You know how it goes. Didn’t want to work anymore, didn’t want to watch the box, wanted to hang out with Dave. Out of sorts with myself, I think it’s called. Needed…
