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…
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…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Late late blog. Sorry. Been at the studios. Wow!!! What a day again! Have nearly sold out of the Groovi Go! Groovi Go Came- and Groovi Go Went!!

Tina’s floral swirls set No. 1 Tina’s Floral Swirls…

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…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The sun is pouring warmth through the windows, the leaves on the trees are changing into wondrous reds and oranges, Paul and I are prepping for this weekend’s TV shows, and Life is good.

I am not an expert with this gear, but the more I play with it, the more I will learn…. Love this stencil Chinese Lanterns by our Melanie. It is such a versatile one: Attach it to a sheet of our glossy black Clarity card. Drag a thing amount of Texture Paste through the stencil. Viva…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got home. 5 hours door to door, which isn’t bad in a van – except when you’re the one in the middle. It was so hot !!! The next van we buy needs air-con, or I’m building a bed in the back! I remember many years ago taking Grace up to the SECC, to the Glasgow Christmas show. She really was just a youngun, and we made a seat/nest for her in the…
