Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Busy day here at the office; all sorts of new plans and designs going on around me. So I have taken myself off to a quiet place to chat to you xxxx We are rearranging all the artwork too, and I was just looking at the samples which the Design Team made using our new Linda Williams Groovi Wreath Collection. Cor. Oh to be that good at parchment art! This is Linda’s own art, using her…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How’s your Sunday going ? Mine’s been great. Went for a good long walk with lovely Mel and the dogs, then came home and had to choose between the ironing and you – and YOU won! (no contest xxx) It’s been a week since the NEC, so I thought it really was time to get my demo box out of the van! In fairness, it’s taken most of us the week to recover! I…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in today. And thanks for all your support yesterday. Like Grace said when she called last night, “I’m fine, Mum. Bit of verbal abuse is all. Shame on her.” So today I thought we would reach for the stars! Next Wednesday, Maria is on HOCHANDA TV, showcasing a fabulous new Groovi Star Tem-Plate and some really beautiful brand new Starry Moonfairy Plates. Moonfairy and Snowflake Plates Would you like to Swing on a Star Fairy Plates….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Well, patience is a virtue when it comes to our Shaving Foam technique! Remember yesterday, I left the second piece overnight, and didn’t blot it, so we could see what would happen? The shaving foam completely disappeared by itself, leaving a perfect and permanent print. VERY COOL RESULT. I recall a very striking piece I did a couple of years ago using the shaving foam technique. Very fitting today, the 11th November, Armistice Day….
Hi there! Hahaha! What a ploy, using a cryptic title like that to spark your curiosity! You thought I was going in for a rant, right? No way, José ! I have got far more important things to do than sweat about stuff I can’t do diddly about. In fact, today is a day off for me. We are going to a K T Tunstall concert this evening. I love her and her energy – not to mention her music!…
Hiya! Thanks for popping in today. Went to bed last night fully expecting Trump to win. Woke up to the news that he had. There you go. The American people have spoken with their ballots. We shall see how it all plays out…. Whether you agree with the result, or don’t is neither here nor there. It is what it is, and only time will tell. I for one am glad at least that all that ugly, divisive campaigning is…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The sun is pouring through the windows here. Absolutely glorious. And the colours of the leaves on the trees! I think this is my favourite time of year. How about you? We have a very old ginkgo tree in our back garden. It is the last tree to get its dainty green dress on in the springtime; then at this time of year – almost overnight – its bright green coat turns a light…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in! Enjoying a day off here. Went to Waitrose this morning. Quite a novel experience actually. It has been an age since I went grocery shopping, so it was rather pleasant just wandering up and down the aisles, picking a bit of this and that and what you fancy. Sorry state of affairs when your work schedule has gone so far off course that a trip to the supermarket is a treat! Anyway, one of…
Hi there. Sitting in the store room at the NEC. Having a break from the noise and bustle. Signal’s appalling here too, And I can’t disappear from the stand for too long! Oh boy will I be glad to get home! Although our stay here has been the best really. Great show, great customers, great Clarity team and the best 5th November ever! I will tell you all about it tomorrow, when I’m back in my own little zone. Am…
Hi there! Greetings from the NEC day 3! Another busy day, Lots of new faces and so many enquiring minds! Either watching intently at my Gelprint stencil inky end…. Getting in the groove with Jo at the make n takes at the other end…. Or a little parchment lesson from our Paul… All in all a very good day. Wearing down now though, Although we just had a dream of an evening. I shall tell you all about it tomorrow,…
