Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Very busy day today at HOCHANDA. So good to see Tina Cox on our screens again. What a talent! As promised, here’s is a step by step of the beautiful little parchment scissor pouch, which another very clever and generous lady, Emma Burns, kindly made for Tina…. It looks complicated, but actually, when you break it down, it’s not too bad…. The key to the whole thing is the Groovi Tem-Plate for wedding cakes. A5…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Getting geared up for tomorrow on HOCHANDA. I have decided to use the one hour Sunday show 5-6pm every month to get the inks, stamps, stencil and paints out. So us die-hard stampers and mixed media guys and gals will always have a definite go-to-show. And why is Clarity doing so much parchment and Groovi, yet so comparatively little stamping and the art I love so much? Which comes so naturally to me? Like…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. After a pleasant day prepping for the telly on Sunday, it’s time to get my glad rags on and head out to North London for a gig. Fantastic band. St Paul and the Broken Bones. Yeah, I know. Who dreamt that name up??! But their music is fantastic.And the dude’s voice is out of this world. You would never connect his sound with his look. I thought I would show you the Frankfurt team!…
Hiya! How are you today? Thanks for popping in. Been very busy today, working with my dear friend Tina Cox. She is joining me on Sunday’s TV show from 2-4pm. In fact, she is running the show! Yep, to celebrate the Pergamano launch on HOCHANDA, we have put together a couple of excellent tool kits, and Tina is going to teach us how to use the tools. I am happy to hand over to her, take a back seat and…
Hi there. Just got home from Frankfurt; won’t chat long – absolutely pooped, and I wasn’t even the driver! So I’d best go make the old man a cup of tea and a piece of toast! H A L T Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. When I can tick any one of these, I am treading on thin ice, and my serenity is in jeopardy. This evening, I can tick 3, so it’s best to rectify the situation quickly, and re-establish…
Hi there, Thanks again for popping in today. We escaped early tonight; got out of the Frankfurt Messe before Show Breakdown. We had a very successful few days, met all the people on our list, shook hands with all the people we wanted to shake hands with. Sourced all the products we went a-looking for – and then some! Boy oh boy, have we got some great stuff in the pipeline. The highlight for me personally, the absolute highlight of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. 3 down, and 1 to go. One more day at the Frankfurt Messe, and we can come home. Although I had best find a supermarket and make sure I get the items on my mum’s shopping list before said departure – or I might as well not bother coming home!! I still chuckle remembering Mum and myself in Baden Baden wheeling the shopping trolleys through the cobbled streets and straight into the hotel, into…
Heidihi! Wie geht’s? Two down, two to go here in the Fatherland. Frankfurt Messe was very busy and productive today. Here’s we see Churchie trying to break through the language barrier. You can tell from the look on the bloke’s face opposite that Paul definitely has him gripped…. Meanwhile, Dave and I posed a bit, spoke to a great number of distributors from all over the world, and generally did some wheelin n dealin. All very positive and actually very…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Great day in Frankfurt. Our Dutch distributors are such nice guys; it was a real delight to work with them today. They have an amazing piece of kit on the stand too, which is nothing to do with what we do, but you need it – you definitely do! I do, and I don’t really do dies!! We will place the order tomorrow. Found other great, exciting products to complement Claritystamps, Groovi, Pergamano. We came with a shopping…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been a long day. Strenuous driving down to Frankfurt. Actually Dave drove the whole way, but I can tell you, being a navigator on the Autobahn in an Engish car is no picnic! When you’re doing 130,140, 150 km per hour, and some maniac in a BMW or Merc whistles past you at the speed of light, it’s not much fun. Especially when Dave has this incessant urge to wander to the left. S T R…
