Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the south of England. The leafy lanes of Kent and Sussex are a wondrous thing at this time of year. Mind you! That pretty much goes for the whole of Britain when the sun’s out! Wednesday’s blog, so it’s time to reflect on what’s what, and get mindful. Just coming down from a marathon TV weekend. Seven hours of live TV is no mean feat, I can tell you!…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in. You like a little challenge, don’t you? Well, let’s see whether you can figure out how I made the card below, with the tree…. Not that easy, eh.

If you didn’t but you wish you had, then go to HOCHANDA, click on Catch Up, click yesterday. 9am. 12 noon. 4pm…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Just got to the hotel after a very full on day. Went very well, and I am looking forward to tomorrow. But I haven’t eaten yet, and it’s already gone 10.

After a lovely chat…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Whilst Dave, Paul, Maria, Heather and Len pedal away in Port Sunlight today, I am here with Romeo, eating chocolates and watching the box.

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s blog is always blue, so how about a very simple step by step today, using the lovely stained Glass Groovi plates which Paul showcased on telly last Sunday?

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Tuesday’s blog is usually inky, isn’t it? Well we did look at a fab colour blend yesterday, with Oh Joy! So you can always scroll back if you need an inky fix.
