Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Forgive me for not hanging out much this evening. Grace and her lovely fella Mark have landed safely too, so now we have them all back in the nest…. Spaghetti Bolognese followed by vanilla ice cream with fruit compote. We’ve been yack yack yacking for hours! Poor Dave! It goes from just the two of us for months, rattling round in the house, to an invasion of two huge blokes and a beautiful chatterbox….
Ho Ho Ho! Thanks for popping in. Just got home from one of the best Christmas parties ever ever! Clarity Christmas at the Spa in Tunbridge Wells takes some beating! We had so much fun! The inimitable Jayne worked her magic again, and games and fun were had by all… A formidable Secret Santa game which was hilarious (to the left to the right to the right to the left and on and on ) And then, to crown it…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just tuned in to the latest news of chaos from Gatwick. A drone has brought the airport to a standstill? Over 750 flights have been cancelled? They are bringing in the military to find the operator? Dearie me. Am I right in thinking that a lot of schools finished yesterday? So a lot of families will be flying out to love ones and on holiday today? What a shame for those people. I watched…
Ho Ho Ho! Thanks for popping in. Well, Mark’s home safe and sound. Great to see him, to catch up, and listen to him telling me all about Life in the Bay Area. So I didn’t go to work today. They don’t need me there! Methinks they are having way too much fun though!!!! There seems to be a real Christmas Jumper thing going on at Clarity! Our usually stringent dresscode has definitely been relaxed in the run up to…
Ho Ho Ho!Thanks for popping in.Counting the days to Christmas here!Mark is flying home from San Francisco tomorrow, so I really must whip the hoover round and fluff the pillows!Here’s a quick-trick Youtube, turning a stencil into a stamp… Hope you enjoyed that! This trick works really well with so many stencil designs! Try it!And the Maya Angelou moment in my life? I shall never ever forget it.When she strolled across that stage, strutting her stuff, reciting Phenomenal Woman, there was…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How’s your day been? An ever optimistic friend of mine always used to say that we have good days and growing days. Well, in that case, I’ve grown lots today! Just seem to have rolled from one bullshit situation into the next one. And I still can’t get into my PJ’s yet and switch off! Ah well, this too shall pass. But these are just irritating little pebbles in my shoe – not harrowing game…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I’ve been wrapping presents and generally preparing for Christmas. You know, unwrapping the ornaments, getting all those lovely candle holders out, those beautiful things which only come out in December. I came across this little box, carefully and lovingly wrapped, waiting patiently to be brought out again. It’s been in the Gray’s Christmas treasure chest for years. Starting with the lid, each side sports one of the Twas the Night stamps. And when you lift…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been a filthy day outside today! Haven’t ventured beyond the back door at all, except to gather a few holly sprigs and beech branches from the garden. But inside it has been warm and toasty; I’ve had Alexa playing happy Christmas tunes all day, and I’ve been what one could call dressing the house. Tree’s up, garlands and decs everywhere. I blimming love Christmas. The run up to it depends on how you look…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got some eggciting news to share with you! And no. Contrary to rumour, we’re NOT moving back to Create and Craft.! No no. We’re perfectly alwhite where we are, says this chick. I want to share this week’s BIG NEWS on the home front! Every time I go to potty pottery on a Wednesday, Dave says “make some egg cups” as I leave the house. So this Wednesday, look what I brought home! A…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s been an elf of a day ’ere! Dark when you go to work – dark when you get home. Honestly. Next Friday’s the shortest day of the year – and we are definitely headed in its direction !! So I came upstairs to blog, and our little elf caught my eye again. He needs a little bling, don’t you agree? Then it occurred to me – Fusible Fibre. Absolutely spot on for this…
