Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Bit late. Just got in from Day 1 of the retreat. WOW. While Maria did a brilliant job on HOCHANDA with a superb One Day Special, and smashed it, sold out, had a blast, the rest of the TV team has been down here in Tunbridge Wells at the Spa Hotel, entertaining nigh on 90 ladies and gents for 2 days! What a super first day! What a lovely, lovely bunch of happy people…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me on this rainy-in-England Sunday. Burst pipes in our area at home, because the freeze thawed so fast, so no water at the house – but Dave can handle it! Busy busy busy here at Clarity! I shall be on TV from 2-4pm today, with some fab new stencils and Gelpress plates, doing my arty thaing. Then I shall pass the baton to Maria, who will launch a Groovi Parchment One Day Special at 6pm. These…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. All set to go here. Manic or what?!? But it’s all fine. Snow? What snow? Carries on undeterred…. Mind you. I am playing it safe, and travelling up to the TV studios in Peterborough this afternoon. I know. It seems a bit extreme to travel up 24 hours before the 2-4 show, but if it eliminates the risk of a calamity tomorrow, then it’s fine. And I even get to have dinner with a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Take your boots off in the porsche before you come into the kitchen. Toasty in here, but brrrr…..! Very cold isn’t it ?! We came in to the office early this morning, and were driving through Edenbridge… There was a young Mum stood at the crossing with her little kids. The nippers had hats and gloves and winter coats and boots on. She had a jumper and little shoes. “Blimey!” said Dave, “That woman hasn’t…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I do hope you are warm and dry? The roads aren’t bad round here today, but it is very cold! Farmer Dave says he reckons it will warm up at the weekend. I do hope so. There’s a lot riding on the weather this weekend. Like 7 hours of LIVE TV show in Peterborough, and 100 people coming to Tunbridge Wells for the Retreat!! But I am not going to panic yet. We will…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Snow stopped play today at Clarity? Not at all! The ladies in the office drove in slowly, Dave and I picked up Simon and Becca, a few others waited until the roads were a little less icy and then came in, and the boys from Crowborough caught the train in. There you go. Teamwork makes the dream work. The Beast from the East indeed! The press and media do like to hype it up,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! YouTube Tuesday today! This week Rosie and I have tackled picot cutting. All you need is a good clean pair of glasses, a steady hand and your weapon of choice! Hope you enjoyed that one and that it was helpful. The one thing you DO need is the right scissors. AT Pergamano (that’s us!) we sell 3 types: The Exclusive ones (the ones I used) The Pergacutter (the tweezer type Rosie used) The Ringlocks…
Hi there. Thanks for popping. Looking a bit bleak outside. Ominous. Or is it all the hype about a freak Russian snowstorm coming our way? Ah well. Not much we can do, except wrap up warm and craft! Anyway, how about some scrapart? We all like a bit of scrap art! Now here’s one I hung on to when I was cleaning paint off my brayer the other day. Can you see what I see? #skidmarksfrombrayer Humour me, humour me….

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Another beautiful Sunday day darn sarf. And what better day to launch the weekly Groovi Project I was talking about on Friday. You can always go back and read what the plan is if you missed that post… And to celebrate the start of this weekly learny-journey which we are embarking on, I would like to offer a Give Away Gift. A lovely baby Plate. But not just one… How about 20 of them?!…
