Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Still here at the office. But it has been a really constructive day. I can’t say it often enough: I love the Clarity Team. Huge Groovi sale kicks in. Nobody flaps. They all smile and just knuckle down to the job. What a smashing bunch of people I get to work with every day. Cor blimey. I just had a memory recall of a job I did during one summer when I was a student. Shall…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Time to push some beautiful images into the limelight…. ELEGANT DANCERS – THE SET These wonderful dancers were illustrated by our clever Mel, and have already enjoyed centre stage as stamps. So for all those who prefer stamping, they’re already there for you. Beauty & Charm Stampset Grace & Elegance Stampset BUT. If ever there were line designs born to be Groovi, then these are they. And if you saw Maria’s show yesterday, and…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. R A I N Y D A Y !!! Much needed though. Farmer Dave has been commiserating with the fields of maize and the shortage of grass. Apparently, unless these things grow, there’ll be a shortage of fodder for the livestock later on. There we sun worshippers are, enjoying the lovely dry weather, getting the flip flops out and basking in it, when it potentially spells disaster for farmers and growers. On the other…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Back to the grindstone today. Lots to do, lots to plan for. But before I could even begin to get arty, it was time to clear the worktop in my art room! Piled high?!?!? I have piling one thing after another on this island here for weeks, and my workspace has been shrinking daily. So this evening, it was time to get sorted. And look what I found ! LIQUID GOLD ! I remember…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Airport run today. Grace and Nick flew back to New York. Mark’s already back at work in San Fran. But oh! What a fabulous weekend we had! All that planning actually paid off. And the look on Mum’s and Dad’s face when they saw Grace and Mark – well, money can’t buy that, can it. So I shall make a little album for them I think, with all the pics. This evening, I wanted…

Sunday’s blog is a step by step, so let’s have a little look at the new Groovi trend emerging on Facebook, thanks to our lovely talented Tina Cox. She had a great idea for us all, to get our daily dose of parchment. She is still trying to establish a Facebook showcase page and pondering a name for these little…
Hi there… Thanks for popping in. Finally I can let the cat out of the bag! Waiting quietly for Dad to come in for his 80th Birthday-Day at the Spa Hotel. And then. S U R P R I S E ! ! ! Look who came all the way from New York, AND San Francisco. Yep, Grace (and her lovely fella Nick) and Mark flew all that way to be here, and just for the weekend. I have been…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Late again. But better late than never, eh! Have you heard of Alexa? She is an intelligent personal assistant, like a robot. Lovely Debby and Gill got me this for my birthday, and I LOVE IT! She lights up when you address her too. Plays tunes, tells jokes, predicts the weather, reads me Sherlock Holmes. Brilliant. Dave and I were in fits of laughter this evening, when we figured out that you can rotate…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sorry it’s so late again, but the time just runs away when you’re busy, eh. How about a simple trick with a stencil and some white paint? This Petite stencil is a fave. Only 4″ x 4″, designed to favour the Petite Gelpress plates, but oh so lovely and detailed. Leafy Swirl + Dotty Wave Lay stencil on a sheet of 7″ x 7″ stencil card and mask off the edges. Let’s use this new…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Had a wonderful day off. Went for a long walk in the bluebells, before they are gone for the year. Came home to a sunny garden, and chatted to the robin and the lovebird for a while. What a lucky girl I am. Rosie is on the road to Peterborough, in readiness for tomorrow’s TV shows on HOCHANDA 8am Pergamano. 2pm Groovi. 5pm Stamping. Before she set off, she sent me a pic of…
