Hi there! Thanks for popping in. 3 hours in the dentist chair this morning. Just keeping your mouth wide open for 3 hours is bad enough, without all the drilling and cold water spray. I HATE the cold water spray. On sensitive teeth, it’s like torture. Now the drugs have worn off, I really don’t feel that great, so how about a quick step by step from the TV shows last Sunday, using one of those beautiful new Fresh Cut…
Hi there! Thanks for joining me today. Go get a cuppa, and savour this one; it is special. Serendipity. I love that word. You know, happy chance, uncanny coincidence. But the word is beautiful, isn’t it? I’ve always had a passion for language. I love playing with words – you know that! I love calligraphy, fonts, poetry, books, papers. When you think about it, I suppose the transition from language school in Germany to Paper-Craft company in England isn’t that…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. Here’s a Youtube I did showing off Josie’s fantastic Grid Duet plates. Like most things parchment, it took a while, both to film and edit! But hey! This is the only way I could think to get across how to use these fab grids efficiently. I do hope you enjoyed that! There is a 20% discount on many of the items I used in the video, …so…

She had come in to the TV studio on her day off, just to be supportive and help – and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Busy afternoon here at HOCHANDA! The Craftalonga Barbie Class on the 17th February is going to be busy! Good grief!! But I wanted to welcome Tina back to Blighty! She’s been in the States with her family, and has been travelling back since Friday! So rather than turn up at the airport with a bunch of flowers, How about a WELCOME HOME, and LOOK what we’ve done with your flowers, TINA!! xxxxxxx At 6…
