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…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Sunny Saturday. Great rugby result too! England 40 Australia 16. What a powerful game! Our Mark is actually in Tokyo, watching the Ireland – New Zealand match as I write! Lucky lad. Not so lucky for Ireland it seems. But it ain’t over yet! And what a privilege to even be there! Here’s a story. So the rest of his rugby team were heading out to Japan the week before last, but Mark decided…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Good of you to join me on this rainy Friday morning. Before I head off to the office, let’s have a little chinwag and make somebody smile! Remember yesterday, I asked you to tell me three things about a card I made? Who designed the Die used? 2 . Which book does the background come from? 3 . Where did I find the words? Thank you everybody who joined in! Most of you got Mel…
Hi there Thanks for joining me. Here beginneth the early morning blog – one day at a time. I have a meeting up in Peterborough this morning, so it’s extra early! But a decision is made: our little Blog rises to the top of the daily list. You’ll forgive the absence of a step by step. But how about a little early morning challenge? Let’s get you going, too! I’m going to show you a card – and perhaps you…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Bit of a runaround today. Correction. Lot of a runaround today. Dashing here, dashing there. Playing catch up because I took a couple of days off. Trying to cram a full day into a morning, because I want to get to my pottery class in the afternoon. Get there an hour late late. Pottery was fun though. Lace in porcelain. How fab is that?! Dash back home and crack on with what got left…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! I can spill the beans now! Mum’s birthday surprise yesterday was a wonderful, posh meal on a very lovely pullman carriage. They had no idea. It was tipping down when we set off, cats n dogs as they say, and I know my parents were wondering who on earth would venture out in flood warning weather! But I’d paid a pretty penny for this little soirée – and we were doing it! Their faces…
