Hi there! Thanks for popping in! What a glorious day it has been down here in Sussex! Day 1 of the Retreats, Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, right? So I dug through my stash of finished step-by-steps, and procured this one, which fits the bill! I was wanting to find something a little magical, a little tropical, a little Rio. After all, Team GB really have blown the doors off this year! I never thought I would see a…
Hello! Enjoying the sunshine and the Olympics? We spent the day getting the Rugby Club venue ready for all the lovely Clarity crafters who are arriving for Day 1 of the Retreats tomorrow. It was all going so well! Breakfast for the lads to give them energy – Hahahaha. It always makes me laugh how I can paint such an idyllic picture on here… We like charred, they cheered! “Let’s have a Bar-B in the garden and kick back this…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a grand result Team GB had on the water and in the Velodrome yesterday! All very exciting. I was jumping up and down and shouting at the telly when Bradley Wiggins and his crew were up against Australia for the Gold. My word it came close !!! Local girl, Jessica Ennis-Hill, is set to get gold in the Heptathlon (oh I do hope so. I do like her); and on the water, the rowers…
Hi there!Thanks for popping in! It’s Friday, the sun is shining, Team GB is having a blast over in Rio, so it’s time to get our Team Clarity involved, and have a GROOVI FIESTA!

Hello! Hello! Hello! How is everyone, long time no speak! Paul here – I hope you have all been behaving. As some of you will have seen on Facebook earlier today, Barbara is in London Barbara wrote her blog early this morning before she left and called me from the train asking if I would post it later today. “Of course” said I (mind whirring with what trouble I could get upto on the blog!) So…………what I want you all to…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Wednesday’s blog is the one where we get mindful, look at what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, and why we’re doing it! Well, I can tell you I am spending today with my parents; I shall take them for lunch to the nice farm shop they like. Why? Because they will enjoy it, because I can, and because I love them. There aren’t many people in this world who love me unconditionally, as they…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! How’s it going? Been following the swimming? Well done to Adam Peaty and Team GB. I do enjoy the pool events. Definitely better at swimming than trampolining! When I was a student, I used to be a life guard, you know! Down the Black Lion in Gillingham. Pretty much lived down there every break we got. Loved it. Best job ever for a student! We have a fab set of Diver’s Stamps. Really retro…

Here’s the Colouring Book There are postcards (very cool) And there are the Bookmarks, complete with protective sheath! (If you were watching the end of the 1pm show, you will have seen my face when Charlie called the bookmark sleeve a protective sheath! Well stone the…
Hiya! Thanks for popping in. Welcome to the Blogathon! Have we won any gold medals yet? So while we’re jumping around up in Peterborough today and tomorrow at the studios, let’s have some fun here… Been looking at the list of activities. Although I quite fancy myself as an Artistic Gymnast, I think I’ll sign up for the trampoline this year. We have one in the garden, so it will be easy to train. Paul’s ready with the camera, I’ve…
Olá (Portuguese for Hello!) Thanks for dropping in. What a beautiful sunny day it is here in the South-east! Did you watch the Opening Ceremony in Rio? It was one to remember… From poignant visual statements about climate change, to hosting the first team of no land, of world refugees, who – if you take the time to read their stories – deserve a gold medal just for getting there. Very humbling. And with a wonderful, uplifting crescendo, the games…
