Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been a long day, but productive! So before I turn off the light, just wanted a little simple down time, using one of my favourite dancers which Mel drew: Charm. She always reminds me of our Grace. Here she is, the lovely thing, together with her best friend Beauty. Aka Lizzy. Another precious girl, who lives in Manchester now…Yet despite the distance, they are besties… Charm & Beauty Anyway, Charm stamped using Orange Blossom…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We’re just on our way out the door to London, for yet another business meeting. That’s becoming a regular occurance nowadays. I suppose it goes with the territory, eh. The bigger the business gets, the more there is to consider… So I thought I’d pop upstairs to my little arty hidey hole above the garage, and have a moment’s peace with you, before diving into the maelstrom that is London. Maria’s on TV today,…
Hi there.Thanks for popping in.It’s You Tube Tuesday, and Paul is erm going to show you a super technique using our new Fresh Cut dies together with our erm Designer Parchment.Hahaha. Sorry Paul. Not really mocking you. You Tubing is very different to TV presenting, isn’t it?!?I remember years ago, when I started, I got an email from somebody who had a right old fat go at me for constantly saying OK.For goodness sake! she said, will you stop saying…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Busy bees here, in the run up to the retreats. I had to laugh when I saw the number of comments on yesterday’s blog!!! 210???? As soon as there’s a £20 Gift Voucher – aka blog candy – BOOM!! Everybody shows up to the party! In fact, I thought, how flattering it is to think that a £20 Claritystamp gift voucher is that desirable. So first, let’s pick a winner from yesterday, shall we?…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hot, innit?!? I’ve been working away at the Retreat Material all day, and am just about ready to call it a day! Found this old paper scrap though, and thought it looked quite batik. Mind you, I could be hallucinating in the heat haze here! Nontheless, a canvas board is what we are going to make here! A 6”x 6” canvas board will fit perfectly, so let’s put the registration marks in for alignment….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s like a little sweat lodge here in my artroom today, and I’ve been plugging away at the imminent retreat prep all day, so this ere blog will be a quick one! Do you think you actually do lose weight if you sweat whilst sitting still? Or should I be hopping about here as well? My Apple watch and I are going to fall out soon, too. Keeps telling me to get up and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, our dear friends Debby and Gill have been visiting from Texas. They came over for the wedding, and to see family. Today, I had a little treat in store for us: a pottery workshop, or more specifically, a raku workshop. (pronounced rackoo). IT WAS FANTASTIC. We had the best day!! It was so interesting, so stimulating, so fascinating! The ladies were all delightful, the teachers über-talented, and…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. In a bit of a spin today, catching up with business and piling stuff on my plate at the same time, as you do when Wurka and Hollick are in the building! And you know, when I get my favourite boy out – no, not Dave. And no, not Poldark. You know THE Boy, it is usually indicative of knocking out a card or piece of artwork quickly because I am having to run…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got in from a long haul. Düsseldorf to Mum and Dad’s in Medway. Dropped off some German Wurst and Brot. and had a cuppa. Then home James! And don’t spare the horses!! Dave did all the driving, and I just watched the world go by – very very fast on the Autobahn! It will be good to sleep in our own bed again. All been a bit hectic lately. But before we pull…
