Hi there. Thanks for popping in. This here gadget below is a folder. A paper folder. Yes, I know. But when you have to fold thousands of sheets, then a paper folder saves lots of time. And it appears that time is of the essence. However, the paper folder can only handle single sheet feed. Here we see a New Design Club folder very quickly being sucked into the top, and just as quickly being spat out the back. Very…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wanted to give you the heads up for our Maria’s TV shows tomorrow on HOCHANDA. 12 noon and 4pm. She will be showcasing some very clever and exceedingly useful stencils AND Groovi Plates. It was her idea actually. She sent us a sketch of what she had in mind, and Jim put Maria’s thoughts into motion. Like I always say, teamwork makes the dream work… Such a simple idea – but OH! So very…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Monday’s Blog is Flowers and Trees, right? Well, I know many of you like a challenge, so this evening how about you get those cogs a-whirring? Here’s a little project I just did for you, except I am only showing you the very last picture…. How about you figure out how I made this, and then email me the step by step instructions to barbaragray123@hotmail.com You’ve got until Friday to get all your ducks…
Hi there, Thanks for joining me! I have been up above the garage all day, making papers for 2 more Northern Lights type books…. Now these ones here are not for next week, you understand! No no no. Those ones (which I was teasing about yesterday), are already back from the printers, and waiting for launch when Rosie and I take them on Hochanda’s Birthday bash on Saturday 26th ! Very excited to be bringing them to you – I…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had a little play today, with one of the Northern Lights papers and a new stamp set which I am in love with: You Hung the Moon. Mmm…. I see a landscape coming on…. Perch the ladder on a cliff top. Erase a little blackness from the moon with a pencil eraser and add a little whiteness with one of our Pergamano white pencils. Lifetime supply in a box of 12 for £18 Use…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well I want to take you back to my teenage years. I was having a really good chat with lovely Lisa at work today, and this just came up, because we were talking about wallpaper of all things! Remember when we were teenagers, we used to get a magazine every month which had a life size pullout pin-up of some super star or other. I even remember the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Busy but enjoyable day here. Rosie has been down here for a couple of days, and we have been drinking lots of tea and making loads of plans! We are certainly making progress in many different areas. One of the things that happens every time there is a TV show is we send out an email to all those customers of ours who have signed up to receive our emails. Now what you may…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is where we talk about matters of the head and heart, don’t we? Well, we had best leave my head out of it today, because it’s wild in there! Not a place you want to enter alone, that’s for sure! Not without a hardhat! Don’t ask. This too shall pass. There’s no point in keep talking about what is getting under your skin, to be honest. You just keep rehashing it and…
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…
