Hi there. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Thanks for popping in. Been a busy day here, getting ready for the Craftalongabarbie on Sunday, 2-4pm HOCHANDA ! I know I know. It’s the Wimbledon finale on Sunday, so it’ll only be me and my parents – who never miss a show, come hell or high water! But whatever. Charlie and I will have a blast, and the projects I have planned for you to craftalong with us are really very…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. On my way to London for a meeting, but Thursday’s Blog is always blue, right? So how about a new trick which I stumbled upon quite by chance last week, which created a fab blue forest. I love it when things develop by chance, don’t you? Art? Or Craft? What think you? I had a debate with a lady at pottery about the difference yesterday. Who cares, as long as we are being creative!…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just got back from the hospital. Dave’s daughter Laura has had a little boy! And what a beautiful little baby he is! Over 7lbs and just gorgeous! Mother and baby both doing well, and all things being equal, they will be allowed home tomorrow. Not even 24 hours old yet… what a little miracle he is. And his name? They haven’t decided yet. I am sure you will join us in congratulating Laura and…
Hi there, Thanks again for popping in. Been a busy old day today! Meetings really are draining when they’re back to back! But we got lots sorted, loads of new ideas in the pipeline, and all in all it was all very fruitful. But now it’s time to hand over to Sam again, for another excellent Youtube. She’s really getting good at this. I had to chuckle at the start of the video. Do watch and see her slick move…….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just got in from the studios. Sat in the garden with my lovely hubby and the blackbirds, and had a nice cuppa. You can’t beat a good strong cup off Yorkshire tea, can you? Thank you so much if you watched and invested in Clarity this weekend. The shoes by Cherry are pretty exquisite, they really are. Very Christmas – Not Christmas! Ran out of time this morning with the parchment project, so as…
Hi there, Thankjs for popping in. Very early here. Just thought I would quickly show you a little more of what’s in store before I hit the road. I have a feeling these boots and shoes will be very popular! Please join Cherry the artist and myself at launchtime, 6pm HOCHANDA,com Oh! And we’ve got some brand new and super useful nested tag dies on the show too… Here are a few lovely samples from the ever creative and splendid…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Somebody dropped out of Saturday’s pottery throwdown at the last minute – so guess who stepped in?! Didn’t have to be asked twice! Can’t get enough of it !! So before the TV Marathon on HOCHANDA tomorrow, I went off to throw a few pots and try to go a bit taller. I’m getting very good at little olive bowls, but I wouldn’t mind expanding into a little fruit bowl! Last time I tried…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Finally we have completed our prep for Sunday TV – and with a day to spare! What a caper! We have been working with the most exquisite stamps illustrated by Cherry Green, and just got totally engrossed in them. We don’t usually spend 4 days prepping! But Paul and I have actually had a blast. It’s certainly been a learning curve with a few things. You know when you know how to do something,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And thanks for watching Tina’s Pergamano shows if you did, and thanks for your custom, if you decided what we had on offer was for you xxx Tina did a wonderful job as always, and here is a step by step which I blogged a while ago now, when these clever snowflake duet plates first appeared. I absolutely loved this idea of making baubles out of the snowflakes! My idea? Nope. Inspired by lovely…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Another great day in Prepland. Even got to pottery today, for a very cool session on the “slate vase”. More will be revealed… But to the prep. It’s a bauble thing from 2-4pm on Sunday. Very beautiful stencil set of mini baubles. So I decided, in the spirit of Christmas, we need a branch to hang our samples from. Wasted an age looking for the secateurs (aka pruning scissors), then laboriously cut a branch…
