Hi there, Having a day off today, to unpack and regroup after a very hectic and busy run up to the TV shows. They are strenuous, you know. Not complaining though; gratitude abounds. I just know now to slow down, take my foot off the pedal periodically, and chillax. So here’s a quickie step by step demo which I did in hour 1 of the One Day Special, using the Snow Globe – one of the new outline stamps. Stamp the…
Hi there. Thank you so much for popping in, and thank you for joining Tina, Paul and myself on HOCHANDA this weekend!We had a great time! Happy to report that the new Pergamano tools sold out despite the fact that we loaded double the initial stock, and the lovely Christmas outline stamps sold out in hour 3 too. Happy days. Busy busy busy. At 9am I started a Groovi project on black parchment, using the nested Christmas poetry plates, which…
Hi there. Thank you so much for popping in, and for watching us on HOCHANDA TV if you did. You know, you can always watch LIVE on their website on HOCHANDA.COM You don’t even need a television! Just the internet and a PC or a phone or an Ipad. All clever stuff, innit… So here’s the Globe art I did at 6. How about a quick photo step by step recap? Paul is showing off the candles and the Groovi Nested…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just ticking all the boxes here, and packing loads more. Oh boy! Have we got a great line up lined up for you this weekend on HOCHANDA! The main event on the afternoon show with Tina and myself will be the launch of 3 brand new Pergamano tools. We have named them the Picot V Trio! Designed by Linda Williams They are a very simple concept, but really really just what I wanted! You…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Our dear old pear tree fell down in the storm the other night. Keeled over, and finally gave up trying to stay standing. Fortunately it fell away from the house, in the opposite direction. Gutted. It may only be an ancient old pear tree, and to be honest, the pears weren’t even very nice, but it was also home to most of the menagerie in our garden! All the birds are homeless now! Can…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We’ve been prepping for the Sunday/Monday TV Shows all day. I do love ticking those boxes! The new Christmas Outline Stamps are delightful to work with; I was especially pleased with the Snow Globe demo I did for the One Day Speical 6pm launch on Sunday. It’s all about making the snowglobe look round…. Anyway, I have some very VERY good news. For years I have been asking the hugely unique and talented Shelagh Metselaar…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We are having a major clean out and mop up here, both at Clarity Towers and at home. There’s nothing quite like a declutter, to clear the mind, is there? Filing, sorting and rejigging certainly feels quite liberating. We have got so much going on at work and in the pipeline! Forward planning, expanding, trying to keep it all under control, keep it real, stay on top of cashflow and keep everybody at Clarity…
Hi there. Just as you have popped in today, Dave and I popped in to see lovely Mel this evening after work. I often talk about Mel. She’s our darling friend, she who illustrates so many many of our fabulous stamps and stencils and Groovi Plates. What a blimming talent that woman is! She also happens to be one of the most interesting and unique people you will ever meet. I love spending time in her company. Anyway, so I…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a very quick stamped card, to demonstrate that less is more – especially when you are running late, somebody is coming round at 7, and you’ve got exactly 15 minutes to write your blog from start to finish!! Added to which we are having a major clear out and sort out in this ’ere art room, and all my stash is in a pile, waiting to be filed nicely… Confession time: This tree…
Hi there! Thanks for dipping in here. Just had a very lovely day over in Medway with my parents. While Dave went off to help a friend who needed a man with a van for the day, we went for a slap up carvery lunch together, and then settled down for a good old chinwag and catch up – just the 3 of us. I LOVE listening to their life stories. Today was particularly interesting; I didn’t know much at all…
