Hi there. Busy TV day today. I knew you’d love those backdrop style silhouette stamps! Did you have a favourite? I think the Japonica stamp from the floral set, the one I used in the first demo, that was the one I fell in love with. Thank you for shopping with us – it’s what make the wheels turn. Without you, no Clarity. Friday’s blog a private peek? Well, I know many of you wonder about Ragnar and Erik, our…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The weather’s definitely on the turn down here in the south east of England. Jumpers, socks and boots back out! Flip flops be gone! Maybe we’ll have an Indian Summer? I guess we just have to be grateful we’re not being flooded, or on fire, or in a landslide. I can cope with cool and wind, mixed with rain, can’t you? Right. Thursday’s blog is always blue. So let’s take a peek at a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is something new, right? Well, to be fair, we’re always working on new designs! At any given moment, there will be at least a dozen stampsets, a bunch of stencils, a collection of Groovi plates and a few dies in the pipeline. And that doesn’t even include all the new products that are already complete, neatly stacked and waiting for launch day! Presenting on TV requires that we bring new things to…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s been a funny old day here. Woke up with the lark and decided to have a day away from work stuff. It’s always good to use the Sunday before the Monday (back to work) to reset, reframe, recalibrate. Call it what you will! There are so many buzz words nowadays for just plain having a day off ! Now this is where it gets interesting. YOUR idea of having a day off is…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just before I settle down to watch our Deb Wheeler on Create & Craft at 1pm and 4pm, I thought I’d just pop in here myself, and say hi. That’s about as much as I can muster today! The week of Clarity Retreats was a success again. Our guests seemed to enjoy the projects, the banter and the company a lot this year. And whilst we shelved a Groovi afternoon in favour of the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Day 3 done and dusted. Another lovely group of creative ladies, getting into their art and craft. It was great to see old friends and familiar faces. And my oh my – just as with the first group when we tackled the paper collage landscape, the results spoke for themselves. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Yes. All in all, a good day. It was a very structured process, and had…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Day 2 of the Retreats – and a good time was had by all. The artwork our guests created was so good!! The mask work this afternoon was pretty impressive! I had to take photos of a few – they were so excellent! It was really heart-warming to watch the smiles on faces, when they stood back and looked at what they had achieved. I love that. And when folks came up at the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just got in from Day 1 of our Clarity retreat. I think the projects we covered were well received. Most people seemed pretty happy with their day’s work. I’m always rather apprehensive before a workshop, especially when there’s a brand new technique on the menu. But to be honest, whilst it’s true to say you can’t please all the people all the time, the results speak for themselves . And when I took a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I first started blogging, back in 2013 (where does the time go??), I used to blog every single day. This I did for many years, right up until a couple of years ago. Then TV schedules kinda took over our lives, and the blog was used for promoting TV shows. I do know when Dad got ill, Life got in the way – and I lost my way. When you feel low or…
