Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Received a parcel today. It’s always so lovely to receive lovely artwork from our Clarity friends. But this one, created by Penny Nuttall – well, it made us all stop and smile. It just about sums up Grooviworld, doesn’t it! Penny has used Woodland Animals and Feathered Friends The poem was written using our Alphabet Picture Frame I spy several other elements from various plates, but what a brilliant poem! I am sure you…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Many thanks also for watching, supporting and even buying the lovely Gentleman’s Collection if you did. The Whole Collection Wow! They flew again, didn’t they! Trust me. We supply the TV with THOUSANDS of plates. Not hundreds. THOUSANDS. So when we sell out, you really have gone for it. And we just can’t make more, because then the next collection will fall behind. And with Steve’s back at the moment, we definitely can’t be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Many many thanks to dear Tina for the inspiration today, both on TV and here on the blog. I hope I did her work justice. I certainly learned so much from attempting to replicate her work! Let’s go through the project one step at a time, just as I did today on Hochanda TV. First I think we should look at where we’re headed… Yes, pretty special, isn’t it? But actually, it is very…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. And thank you so much for all your kind messages yesterday! Didn’t see that coming either! It is comforting to know that our little Clarity community is caring. Makes me feel better anyway. The thing is, the show must go on. Control the controllable is the name of the game. So much time, work, energy and money has gone into the TV shows tomorrow, unless I have no alternative, I can’t just hand it…
Hi there. Friday’s blog a private peek. It’s the buses. You know how you wait for ages, and then they all arrive at the same time? Well this week, the buses all left the depot and headed straight for us. And not in a kind way. First Tina’s Mum and Dad. They are both so ill, and poor Tina has been at her wit’s end trying to juggle hospitals and doctors. I managed to finally talk her out of doing…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Decided it’s time for another book of papers. You know, like the Northern Lights one, but different colours. Dee’s already designed her next two, but I am dragging my heels! So out with the alcohol inks and the yupo paper…. It’s messy, but fun. I designed the last collection to work behind parchment as well as for regular stamp art and cardcraft. This is the Northern Lights book: We’re running low on this one, so…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The kids have been on my mind a lot since they were here for Dad’s birthday. It was great to see them, and I was so proud of them for making the time and effort to celebrate their grandad’s birthday with the rest of us here in England. They certainly got their priorities right there, didn’t they? But I hate that they live so far away. New York and San Francisco are too far…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. There was a thread on Groovi Worldwide, our Parchment Facebook page a while ago, lamenting the fact that we don’t have enough Mens’ designs. Do you remember? It ended up as a very long wishlist of all sorts of lovely ideas. Well, you spoke – we listened. This coming Sunday, I shall be launching a brand new set of fab plates on TV – A One Day Special on Hochanda. 7 brilliant, diverse A6…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Had a fantastic night last night. It didn’t pan out quite as we had planned, but nonetheless, it was a night to remember, as they say! We went to spend an evening in the company of a few good people, a couple of extrordinary folk singers, and – wait for it – the nightingales. Magical? I’d say so! I switched my phone off as we approached the campfire, and so have no photographic evidence…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just finished watching Rosie’s first hour on Hochanda. Didn’t she do well?! I loved the way that bow came out on the tag! It’s all in the whitework, I guess. I also was most impressed when Rosie showed an aspect of our Colouring Book which hadn’t entered my head. Feathered Friends There was me thinking it was simply a colouring book, or a painting layout. I’m very proud of it. Just wish I had…
