Hi there. Thanks for popping in. No kisses today! Best stay away! I is chock full – and it’s gone straight to the chest – via the ears nose and throat! Lovely. Bloody lovely. Feels like I’ve been hit by a truck. But I haven’t; it’s nothing that a load of vitamin C and zinc won’t sort out. Been prepping for next Sunday’s TV all day. I have a feeling that Old Man Time may get tight this week, so…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Trying to tidy this ‘ere workspace in readiness for what’s coming up – TV shows, new products, new directions. It’s like painting the Golden Gate Bridge; by the time you’ve finished it, you can start again! Hey ho! I found a really cool piece of stencil, which I think I may have a little play with today. I say piece, because I definitely cut it out of a larger whole a while ago! After…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Late night here. Spent the afternoon in London with an accountant. All good, but my brain feels like any ONE of these four stencils which lovely Leonie is launching with Clarity tomorrow!! They are super duper frameless and fab. Leonie designed ‘em – and we made ‘em! Here’s to a wonderful partnership! I had a little play with this one when we got in – just to try and unravel, unwind… Maybe we should…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Folks often ask me for more Gelpress demos, so here’s a YouTube using a 6” x 6”, some acrylic paint, plus one of my favourite dies .

Well, I have to tell you, I was chuffed with this little canvas. Here are the things you need if…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Cor blimey! I exclaimed this morning, when I saw that the Products of the Month are on sale at half price throughout January. That’s substantial – especially if you add your Clarity Club discount! No wonder we’ve been making elephant stencils like there’s a stampede round the corner !! Ok. Last Monday, we looked at the lovely Thank You Ribbon Writing Groovi plate. Nice. Today, let’s shed a light on these super stamps, which…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Let me fill you in on what’s happening at Clarity Towers today. So we got a phone call last night. Unfortunately, Dawn Bibby is unwell, and has had to cancel the One Day Special which was scheduled to begin this evening at 6pm. Big ask, but could we help? So I got on the phone to Paul, and we came up with an idea. You see, it is pretty tricky to rustle up 5…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Can’t stop long. Got a date with Dave. He’s taking me to the flicks! Guess which film….I’ll give you a clue….

Grace called yesterday, and was raving about it. Lucky girl got comp…
