Hi folks! Thanks for popping in. And so we waved goodbye to the last group of lovely ladies today, and whilst it is with a heavy heart that we draw the retreats to a close for another year, it is indeed a great delight to welcome Becka Kempster to the Clarity Team. Here she is, hard at work on her first day. I know. It’s not an easy job, but somebody’s got to do it… It has been a full…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in, On my way to join the crew for supper at the Spa, so just want to show you a clever little trick with the brand new Fairy Plates, which lovely Rosie has been demonstrating on Hochanda today. See? No wings. When we designed the Groovi Fairy Plates, we made sure that the wings aren’t touching the bodies. On ANY of them. So even though it looks as though the butterfly and flower wings are…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Day 5 of the Crowborough Retreats, and another wonderful group of Friends Reunited! So I have exactly 20 minutes to blog before I go to join them all at the Spa Hotel. Whilst cleaning the blending mat this morning after project 1, I decided to make a bloggy background… That’ll do very nicely, thunk I. Perfect for showcasing those wonderful Fairy Stamps which are being launched on HOCHANDA TV tomorrow evening at 6pm by…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! What a smashing day we had today at the Clarity retreat. Well, I certainly enjoyed it, and the vibe was great. Rossella (aka Rosie) joined us this time, as a guest. She was in her element – she helped massively with the picot cutting on Day 1, and had a blast with the Gelplates and stamps on Day 2. It was great to see her so relaxed and enjoying herself. She just took off…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Day 3. Tick. Just had a lovely day with a lovely group, and now it’s time for supper. Here we are, following Dirty Dave. We don’t actually know him. It’s not my Dave, but Rosie decided we ought to investigate. What’s she like?! On the subject of Dirty, here’s a mop up off the brown craft mat from yesterday. Mel suggested it, so I rolled a load of Viva Decor paint over the craft mat…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s way too late to blog anything substantial really. I left the artwork i wanted to show you at the Community Centre, so I shall have to share it with you tomorrow. Just got in from supper at the Spa with a few of the crew, and now, to be frank, I’m fit to drop. Today was excellent – well, for me it was! The projects went down well, and it was so good…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just got in from the first day of the retreats, and can’t stop long – we’re meeting for supper at the Spa Hotel. I think it went down well. I think the projects were well received. I think the guests all had a good time. Tell you what thought; it was more like Friends Reunited than a Craft Workshop! Nearly every single person who came through the door was a buddy, everybody had been…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Spent most of the day getting the room ready for Day 1 of the Clarity Retreats. This will be our home now for 8 days, back to back. Good size screen?! Linda, Gail and Jilly turned up early to pitch in, and then a few other guests came at the last minute, just checking the location. I’ve got a drill, and I’m not afraid to use it! So let the games begin. I do…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Apologies for the late show today; went to a very special lady’s very special birthday party today, and only just got in. Thanks Sheila! And congratulations! xxx Lately, we’ve been talking about firing up the Clarity YouTube Channel again. Did you know we have a substantial reference library of projects, ideas and inspiration? Thing is, when Groovi came along, we got SOSOSOSOSOSO busy, that Jim and I had to knock You Tube Tuesday on the…
