Hi there Thanks for popping in! Blogging on my phone in the car, on the way back from a brilliant evening with the Gray family. It is my Aunty Esther’s 80th birthday, so we had a fabulous dinner party in Bury St Edmunds. So good to spend time with all my cousins! But now we’re headed back to Kent, only to get back on the M11 and up to Create and Craft tomorrow! Sunday 3pm-5pm Special stamps tomorrow. Really special….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Year of the Alphabet here at Clarity. And May is a super special one for me! I remember drawing this one, one letter at a time, in New Mexico of all places! Each letter represents a flower, so A for Allium, B for Bougainvillea, C for Cornflower, and so on. Also, as you will see when you look at the individual stamps, each letter also comes in two more sizes, upper and lower case….

Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s that time of year, when the days are getting longer, the sun is peeping out, leaves are starting to appear on the trees, the birds have taken up residence in the Yew trees outside our bedroom window – and are twittering up a veritable symphony every morning! The dawn chorus is quite something! There’s a particular stencil which always springs to mind, when I think of the birds in the trees in the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I was up with the lark this morning. The birds were tweeting up a symphony outside the bedroom window, the sun was peeping through the curtains – and I just couldn’t lie still any more! So I’ve done my yoga session, fired up the washing machine, cleaned the kitchen, hoovered and dusted the dining room – and it’s not even 8am yet! Dave and I even had a deep conversation about Oscar Wilde, Reading…

Saturday 20th – 1pm & 4pm on Create & Craft Linda’s Bijou Dangles A6…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Bags packed, demos prepped, car filled to the gunnels – and we’re off! Paul and I are heading up to Peterborough to the TV studios as you read this, to set up the set for a worldwide launch. I’m both excited and apprehensive about this one. Perhaps because it’s my artwork, (and one always wonders whether one’s artwork will be well received, doesn’t one), perhaps because I always get nervous before TV – even…
