A bit rough round the edges….

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. What a hectic day! We have been spinning like tops, I can tell you! And there comes a point where you realise that busyness doesn’t always mean that you’re actually doing anything !!! Monday’s blog is flowers and trees, right? So here’s a little piece I rustled up for you  when I got home from work . It’s no masterpiece, but there’s a tree in it !! I used one of our stencils. The Woodland…

A Plan is hatched…..

Hello there!Thanks for dropping in on this drizzly Sunday. Has it been a reasonable weekend for you? We have had a great time. Lovely Linda Williams and her husband came down on Friday, and we’ve been hanging out. Can you believe we had to have friends from Wales come down to show us an excellent eatery just up the road ?? There’s a restaurant called The Cat Inn at West Hoathly. Amazing food. 10 out of 10. Bills in Lewes…

When Bob nearly met his Maker….

When Bob nearly met his Maker….

Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Another little friend dropped in today too. Certainly woke Dave up when he went to light the stove  this morning! Don’t know who was more suprised – Dave, or Bob the Squirrel ! Brave Dave indeed! They’re savage little monkeys – and fast! Just as Dave was going in to gently haul him out, Bob shot past him, and started doing a little panic tour of the room at breakneck speed. I opened the back…

It’s Limerick time! xxx

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! It’s a winter wonderland here on theAshdown Forest. Very, very beautiful. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, when I was younger I used to live in Bavaria, Germany,  and boy! Did we get snow! The Germans are so prepared for it though! There would come a point when the snow got so high that there would be a SCHNEEKETTEN (say Schnaykettn. Perfect) alert, and out would come all the snow chains for the tyres, …

Got time for a hug?

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Need a hug? Well here’s one from me… How about a quickie? A step-by step I mean! Naughty naughty…. I have used last month’s beautiful stamp from the  New Design Stamp Club. If you aren’t already in the Clarity Clubs,  you can join one, two or all three of our clubs, and receive a stonking good stamp stencil and baby groovi plate every month. Only costs £5 per club per month. You get a…

It could always be worse.

It could always be worse.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday is the day when we stop and look at things from a different angle, right? Well, I was having a battle with the bank again this morning and getting my knickers in a twist again. But then I remembered somebody who could help me. A high ranking bank manager ? Nope. An accountant ? Not at all. There’s a lady I know who is in such a sorry state. She is so desperately…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Still at work. Lots of paperwork and legal stuff to plough through. Boy oh boy. You do wonder sometimes what it’s all about, don’t you? Why does everything have to be so complicated,  when it really isn’t? Have you tried opening a bank account lately? Well brace yourself Rodney!  You’ll need nerves of steel and a landline telephone. Because no mobile phone battery  would last as long as these phone calls! What ever happened…

What a Bust !

What a Bust !

Hi there. Thanks for popping in.  Hahaha! Yeah I know what you thought when you read  What a Bust! Got you looking though, eh… Here’s a quick and simple Groovi parching project, which i started but didn’t finish on yesterday’s TV show, so thought i would go back over it a little more slowly! Slowly being the operative word today. I simply don’t ping back like I used to after a day at the studios.  Using the lovely new Fashion…

Gratitude and The Northern Lights

Gratitude and The Northern Lights

Hi there. Thank you for popping in today. What a week! And Telly tomorrow! Many many thanks for your good wishes and support with regard to the Pergamano acquisition. Told you it was a game changer, didn’t I? There are those who are unhappy,  and they’ve already started voicing their opinions, which crushes me, of course, because I honestly only want to do the right thing. And nobody likes criticism, do they. But as I was saying earlier this week,…
