For My Nan – step by step

For My Nan – step by step

Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Very late this evening I’m afraid. Those magazine projects always take longer than you think! Came out ok in the end though, so I’ll write the last two up early tomorrow morning and get them sent off (always better to do written work first thing, I find). Here’s the simple Groovi project from TV Sunday evening, using the new Groovi Go! Kit  and the very, very, VERY popular ABC D-Boss Plates. How did we know you…

Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Crack of sparrows here! Leonie had to leave super early to get up to the TV studios  because she’s on the early shift, so we got up at 3.30 to see her off with a good strong coffee and a wave. And now we’re up, we may as well get on with the day ahead of us. I’ve got a list as long as my arm, so the sooner I get cracking the sooner…

Leonie’s in town!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Spent a delightful evening with our lovely Leonie! It was so good to have a proper catch up. We had a good old gas – and that was before I reached for the brussel sprouts! Leonie is a vegan, so I was all ready for her – NOT!! Brussels, radishes and olives for starters …. yummy. But all on the same plate? I could always make an olive and brussel omelette, I said. No…

Las Vegas.

Las Vegas.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Thanks for watching our new Groovi Go! Starter Kit,  which went quickly and in great numbers! So yes, thank you. I said I would blog the men-in-tights-cowboy-card I didn’t get to finish this morning. But that was before I heard about the Las Vegas mass shooting Not only would it be highly inappropriate,  but I also feel shocked to the core about the senseless and terrifying massacre of so many innocent people yet again.   I want…

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Well this is all very exciting, isn’t it? Running around like a headless chicken here,  sewing buttons on trousers, ironing my best frock, trying to get out the door to Liverpool. (In the time it took to find the sewing box, we could have gone to Blue Water and bought a new pair!) Next problem: a shirt that will go round his neck! (Now I am really REALLY laughing. Read that last line back to…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Things are hotting up here above the garage, I can tell you! Preppy – snippy – happy – dappy! 3 SLEEPS BEFORE THE LAUNCH OF OUR GROOVI GO ! This little demo, inspired by a masterpiece which Karen Jackson sent in, nearly sent me over the picot edge. (Picot should be submitted to the Collins English Dictionary as a new urban swear word,  synonymous with poxy, another affliction). Here’s a sneak peek of one of…
