Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Scurrying around here, changing horses, all set to head off to the NEC, Birmingham. Packing my demo kit here, and think I will stick to the plan: work around what we just did on telly – our new Christmas Baubles! Here’s a little sample I made which is quick and simple, and quite fun, too: How to: selection of Distress Oxide ink pads layered up on the second stamp in the Happy Christmas Set,…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just got home. Big accident on the M11. Somebody was having a very, very bad day. Took a couple of hours longer to get home, but hey. Better late then never springs to mind. Thank you to all of you who invested in Linda’s beautiful new Handbook. What a thing to prize it is. I have learnt so much and have had a real personal breakthrough in achieving some of that fantastic lacework we…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Early rise and shine here, but glad of the extra hour in bed before heading up to the TV Studios. Did you remember the clocks go back? If you didn’t, happy days! You just gained an hour of life you didn’t know about! Paul and I will be hopping about till late today, so I thought I’d just pause for reflection this morning. Just focus on the day ahead, and what my job is….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Did you watch the rugby this morning? What a game! You had to see the English team come out of the starting blocks. It was unbelievable. They were 7 points up on New Zealand 90 seconds in! I was jumping round the living room like a nutter! Did my throat in screaming at the telly, too! What a work out! Made all the sweeter by the fact that our Mark was in the stadium…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Woke up happy today. The sun is shining, the birds are all in the garde on the feeders for breakfast – and life is good. Paul is back from his holiday safe and sound, so I’ve got my buddy back too. Before he gets here, to help finalise the notes and prep for the shows, I thought I’d show you what I’ve been up to! No pottery this week – half term. But. I…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a downpour! Puddles like lakes down here in Kent! So it’s nice to be back in the warm and dry. Maria is on TV, showing off those wonderful Shoes Stamp by Cherry Green, which are now also available as Groovi Plates. You ask – we respond! Here is a step-by-step I did a while back, using the boot stamp, which is my personal favourite. The background is from our Shenandoah Designer Card. Love…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Woke up with a washing machine head this morning – a real spin cycle. Don’t ask me why. I guess it just happens when there are a few uncertainties, a few changes. (Maybe it’s Pottery withdrawal?! Half term!) But TV prep was the order of the day, regardless of the scatterbrain. The show must go on, right?! And there was no way I could blog with that head on me! So I settled down…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Whilst prepping for the Sunday show 2-4, I had a little breakthrough. Now it may only be a little thing, but to me it was a BIG THING INDEEDY!! Black shrink plastic has always eluded me, so I decided today was the day to figure it out. The new Joy to the World Bauble would look so lovely in gold on black, but tiny. She likes a challenge… Look! First run at it, not…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d pop in myself, before heading off to Clarity Towers. It is pouring cats n dogs outside! So much for “suede shoes are in this season”!! Only snag is you can’t wear them outside! And no amount of pre-wear protective spray that they try and sell you with every pair is going to keep this deluge out. Wellies. That’s the only answer. Wellies. Anyway. Let’s make a coaster for somebody for Christmas. let’s…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been looking ahead to this time next week. The 2-4 show on TV. So much to show you! So much to try out before then! But so much other stuff to do too! Let me show you just one of the new stampsets today. A typical Barbie Step by step, using a pair of stamps I drew these myself. That’ll do for a Sunday afternoon! These are sooo versatile! This one is called Peace…
