Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just got in from a day with my mate Dee. It was just what the doctor ordered. A morning of crafting together – now THAT’S something we haven’t done for a while! It was so enjoyable, working together, chatting away, catching up. She’s a good egg. And a very astute one, too. It was good to run some stuff by her and get her honest opinion. She’s a straight shooter; says it as it…

Hi there! Sunny Sunday here! Yesterday it rained all afternoon, which was such a shame for the all the events, fêtes, fairs and festivals which were on in villages and town all over the country. Our own Crowborough had their annual festival yesterday. So much effort, so much planning, all hinged on the weather. Especially if you’re planning a bonfire! Ah well. We can’t stop the rain, eh. There’s always next year…..(???) Anyway, I can’t stop long. Mum and Dad’s…
Hi there! Glad to see you here again. Saturday’s Blog a new technique, right? Well, Bank Holiday Monday Dave and I went to Herstmonceux Castle, to a Medieval Festival. It was fascinating, especially the owls! The guy presenting the birds was a mine of information, and it was very enlightening to learn about the many fallacies we have been fed about them. Did you know that a group of owls is called a Parliament, a wisdom, a bazaar or a…
Hi there! Where has this week gone ?!? Friday already ?? TGIF. But also ICBFA !!! (guess….) Anyway, Friday’s Blog a private peek. I want to talk about an old adage which is often banded around: Friends and business don’t mix. I absolutely understand where this is valid, of course. And there have been numerous times in my life, where involving friends in my business has come back to bite me in the derrière. But sitting here this morning, thinking…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in this sunny day! Thursday’s blog is always BLUE, so what better step-by-step project to look at than the beautiful Groovi Agapanthus, designed by Jayne Nestorenko. We launched Jayne’s Flowers Collection on HOCHANDA on Sunday and Monday. If you missed the shows, you can watch them, you know! You can go to the TV website and watch the shows on Catch Up. If you are reading this, you have the capability. Just go…
Hi there. How is your day going? On a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being ‘marvellous’ and 1 being ‘not very marvellous at all’. (euphemism for shite). Mine started out at 10, dipped to 4, but we’re back up to 10 again. Didn’t take long to catch myself, let go of the thought that was winding me up and get positive again. Nobody else involved; I’VE BEEN ALONE ALL DAY !!!! Today is art day. Making projects for the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in this fine Tuesday! We are hopping around here at Clarity Towers, filling all the orders from the weekend TV shows. Busy?!?!?! Fortunately, I can come in my office and shut the door. One of the latest perks of the job – my very own office at work !!! I gave mine up years ago to the accounts department, and have been a floater ever since (so to speak…) Not anymore ! I have a…
Hi there. Just got home, after a very succesful and enjoyable couple of days at HOCHANDA. Jayne’s beautiful Groovi Flower Plates are just about to sell out, which makes my day at so many different levels. At 9am this morning I played with the superb Dahlia Groovi Plates. Pair of Dahlia Plates I just wanted to show you how easy it is to position the butterfly in front of the box frame by just sliding the butterfly plate in on…
