Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hot up here under the rafters!! We’ve closed all the blinds in a vain attempt to block out the heat. So I thought I’d look back to a year ago today and see what was going on on 3rd August 2017. Blow me down!! Or blow the tree down in the storm!!! Do you remember the old pear tree in our garden, which keeled over in the storm? Can you believe it was a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had another chuckle reading through all your tea guesses yesterday! I think I will hold the winner till tomorrow. Savour it, so to speak…Do go into yesterday’s blog and have some fun. Meanwhile, back in Clarityworld, Paul and I are revving up for the Sunday and Monday TV shows on HOCHANDA. Finally, I have finished the Twas the Night set! The final 5 are complete. I do hope you like them. I’ll show you…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. A huge THANK YOU to Paul for steering this ‘ere blog whilst I was in Germany. The internet in the hotel we stayed in on the North Sea was pretty bleak. So I used it as a reason to step away from the plate for a few days and regroup. We visited Jever on our travels, a lovely little town where my parents met way back when. And there we chanced upon a delightful…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I bet you thought you had seen the last of me! Well I thought I would carry on with the blog today, so that Barbara has a chance to catch up with a few things. So, today the lovely Maria brings you another YouTube video tutorial on how to make quick and easy card. I must say that I really, really, really like what Maria has done – I think I need to get…
Hey there. Thanks for popping in. Well yesterday’s Caption Competition sure generated some interest! I had a good chuckle to myself reading the comments! On Wednesday I will get Debs and Lisa to choose a winner so you still have time to enter. Well the naughty step is looking a little empty this morning, so before Barbara and Dave return, I thought I would be naughty one last time! (well for today anyway!) You have been loving the Jayne Nestorenko…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. Well, I am not sure what the weather is like with you today, but down here in Tunbridge Wells, it is torrential rain! What a difference 24hrs can make! So my plans for having a day out and about were put on hold until the nice weather returns. Instead, I attempted a bit of the dreaded “housework” (apologies for the bad language!!!) Well when I say attempted, what I mean is, that I looked…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. It would seem that lots of us have had some rain over the past 24 hours which has helped to bring the temperature down a bit and given the gardens a much needed watering. Despite the rain and the strong breeze down here in Kent, the temperature is still 26 degrees. Apart from our usual TV shows coming up next month, the next big event on the Clarity Calendar is the Leyburn Open Day…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. I don’t know about you, but the week has flown by! This time last week we were in full flow of the last 2 days of the Annual Clarity Retreats. One of my favourite projects was the Floral Friends 3-Way Overlay Stamps, as demonstrated by Barbara in this week’s YouTube Tuesday (see below) In today’s Follow Up Friday video, Barbara shows another technique using the 3-Way Overlay Stamps Okay, so it is…
