Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Needed an hour of play to unwind this evening, work a few things out in my head… something has got right under my skin, so out with our elephant stencil and the Gel plate. Wasn’t sure where to go, but just wanted to play, with no fear of going wrong, no worries about getting it just so for this ‘ere blog. Pure distraction therapy. So climb aboard for an arty ride. There are several…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Fancy a walk? Let’s get out of here. A brisk 5 minutes round the block before I go round the bend! It’s way too hot and steamy in the kitchen! Now there was a time back in the day, when hot & steamy was quite desirable, doable and pleasant! Nowadays, I am simply referring to mega stress levels mixed with my own personal summers, if you get my drift. Today, I had a day…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in. Tuesday’s blog I can do as I please, right? Well. I want to show you something very exquisite, which my dear friend Emma Burns gave to me, to celebrate our Pergamano and Groovi marriage. Can you guess what it is? Look! It even has a B for Beginner on it! Now you know, right? Yep. My very own, hand-made by Emma Scissor pouch. Isn’t that just beautiful? She has used the Lace…
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…
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…
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…
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, …
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…
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…
