Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Back at the office this morning, for the first time in ages it feels. Everybody here is pedal to the metal; we’ve never been busier. December isn’t usually this crazy! And the Christmas designs are flying out the door, which is unseasonably late. Traditionally, our Crafter’s Christmas season begins much, much earlier, but perhaps the trends are changing and we are actually coming more in line with the…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Just got back home from a day up at Hochanda, filming Christmas pre-recorded shows and having meetings. It was a smashing day, made all the sweeter by all the dancing and singing last night at the Christmas Ball. What a smashing bunch of people. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be invited, to join in and let our hair down, after quite the challenging year! The drive home however, was another matter. As…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. She’s been going at it like a loony since 5am, so that she can go to the Christmas ball tonight! She’s not sure what she’s wearing, she’s not really a glittery, blingy kinda dresser – but there are plenty of dresses to choose from – especially now she’s lost a few pounds! All caught up, all prepped up – and she’s even made time for pottery. Happy day. But before she shoots off to…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. All quiet here . After a pretty manic few days on HOCHANDA, rolling from one sellout into the next one, I played catch up today. Caught up with Dave, caught up with my parents and brother, caught up with members of the Clarityteam, caught up with myself actually. Just took the time to unpack the car, unpack the suitcase, load the dishwasher and sort out the kitchen – then visit dear Carron and get…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thanks if you are watching and following Paul and myself on HOCHANDA TV this weekend. The Jayne Nestorenko ODS is drawing to a close, but it has been an absolute treasure and pleasure. I have particularly enjoyed sharing the hours with Paul ( Not only because it is half the work!). There has been a really strong sense of dear Jayne with us. Paul was very close to her, and it felt right showcasing…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. While Paul and I trundle back up to Peterborough, to the HOCHANDA studios, please allow me to introduce you to the newest cutest addition to the Clarity team: Misself! Last year, there was himself, Elvis. Remember him? Hiding behind a different product on the website every day until the 24th? Well this year, I drew a little girlfriend for him – Misself! In case you are new to the fold, this is a game we…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Day of calm today, before Paul and I head on up to HOCHANDA early tomorrow morning, for the next round of TV shows! The afternoon hours are showcasing our Clarity Clubs. If you have just recently joined, then this will be an ideal opportunity to buy Past Issues of Stamps, Stencils and Groovi. Then at 6pm, we launch a small ODS, but a very special one. Many of you will remember our dear friend…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just got home from Peterborough. Traffic was building up as we came south, and it took just about as long to crawl through Tunbridge Wells as to get all the way down the M11! Never mind. Grateful to be home, safe and sound. First of all, I must THANK YOU once again for liking the new Mixed Impression Texture Stamps. Of course, with the power of hindsight, why were we surprised that you bought…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Up at the studios here, in one of the nice offices, writing to you before we set up for tomorrow‘s 8am launch of the new Texture Stamps. Just came off air. Tina‘s beautiful floral stamp flew out, didn‘t it? Knew it would. Such a glorious design. And so easy to use. Thank you so much for watching and supporting. What an amazing Clarity community this is. And the Groovi plates are flying too! So….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been a busy day here. All set for the off now. Driving up to the studios tonight with Paul, so we don’t get caught out in any floods tomorrow. At least if there’s a problem we’ve got a few hours to resolve it before we have to go live. Incessant rain here. I got a little frantic around lunchtime. Was trying so hard to get the TV prep sorted, but the list of demos…
