Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Retreated to the back of the cave today. Stayed home. Cleaned all morning. Did laundry. Can’t listen to the radio. Can’t read the papers. Can’t watch the TV. So I’ve pottered away in silence all day. I suppose it’s my way of digesting what happened in Manchester. Not that it is digestible – ever. It sticks in my throat and makes me feel sick as soon as I think of it. But I am certain…
Hi. If you don’t mind, I would rather not craft today. My head is elsewhere. In fact, if you don’t mind, I would rather not speak today. It is way too shocking for words. Love & Peace Barb x
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Beautiful day here! Sun streaming in, birds singing, the Groovi Sale has gone berserk, and orders are still coming in. Finishes at midnight tonight, but we’re on top of it and the orders are already flying out! Me? I was feeling a little second hand today to be honest. I just don’t ping back like I used to after a busy weekend The old elastic is not what it was…. So it’s time to…

Hi there, Can’t stop. Must dash. Out for supper in Bristol with the team. And what a team again! We had just over 3 hours to unload and set up – and with the help of a few good women, we did it! Bit of a scramble, but we got there. Already lots of interest around our Groovi designs from the traditional parchers. Here’s hoping the Pergamano tutors sign up for the new club we have created for them! All…
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…
