Hi there. Sorry I am so late today. Long day at the office… but that’s ok. My choice. Poor old Brother Steve is on nights all week! I felt bad leaving him there tonight; but there’s so much to make, he said there’s no way round it. So tomorrow, Dave and I are going in to keep him company in the evening – best time to get stuff done !! And we are bound to have a laugh along the…

Hi there. Just got in from the Hochanda studios. Long day indeed. But what a day! Wasn’t Janice just a delight? I do love that woman. When she spilled glitter all over her mat and then tried to bend it into a funnel, I nearly lost it. The only thing I wished for was more time. I felt that the Groovi project got caught short. So. I shall YouTube the Groovi project this week, or as soon as Simon gets…
Hi there. Happy Saturday! What are you up to? Been up since the crack of sparrows, going through the CraftalongaBarbie TV Classroom one more time. There’s a lot to pack and consider! I am not nervous yet – that’ll kick in tomorrow morning! But it’s fine. I know we will have a blast and you will enjoy yourselves. The really cool thing is that many hundreds of you will be joining in. Picture that. Hundreds of crafters in hundreds of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Paul’s left me! Well, he’s taken up residence at HOCHANDA , because he’s on telly yet again tomorrow evening at 6pm. Qué? You thought he had actually left me?!? Now be serious. We are family. Maria took all the midmonth One Day Specials off his hands, so that he can lend a hand with last minute TV shows as the gaps appear in the roster. Believe you me, we’re on it like a car…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. So glad you enjoyed Maria on HOCHANDA yesterday! Didn’t she do a cracking job? Super demonstrations! Our dear Mel drew these beautiful images a while ago, and Maria was the obvious choice for launch. Unicorns and dragons are so popular nowadays; with our younger crafters – and the young at heart too! The whole magical realm: Arthur, Merlin, Game of Thrones, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter – we certainly do like a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been a good day. Went to Mum and Dads with Dave early in the morning for a catch up- and because I can. Then shot back across the Weald of Kent for Pottapotta – Pottery!! The day before, they had asked us whether we would like to stay for lunch, and I very quickly declined, saying I really really didn’t want to miss pottery, that I’d missed it last week because of the Pergamano…

I hope you enjoy it. It’s a lovey dovey stencil, perfect…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! What a day again. What a caper! But it is fine. We put our heads together at Clarity and came up with an excellent Last Minute-TV-Show-Strategy. It’s amazing what you can pull out of the hat when the chips are down, innit?! Dear Paul is going up to the Studios first thing tomorrow, to prep for the 6pm One Day Special which launches at 6pm. It’s a 2 parter. Part one is tomorrow evening….

Not just any old scrap. Since it’s Sunday, let’s pick a special scrap. Using the Leafy Swirl stencil… Then let’s take a beautiful, classy little Claritystamp. To remind myself why I got into this game. 25 years ago. I didn’t just arrive,…
