Hi there, Just got back from supper at the Spa Hotel with our last retreat group of the year. Good food, good service, great company. We’ve had another cracking first day, although I was pretty wiped out by the time the bell rang at 5! Friday’s blog a private peek right? During the days at the retreats, so many lovely customers and friends have showered me with their generosity: flowers, plants, chocolates, handmade cards, beautiful books, cups, smellies, lavender –…
Hi there. Had a goodday? Mine’s been absolutely brilliant. We had such a good, productive, pleasant day today at the retreat. It was tops. So two more to go… But the Blogathon continues!Aren’t Team GB doing amazingly?! I don’t think I’ve ever been so attached to the Olympics as this time. Something which has really struck me is that these young people who are representing us over in Rio are just regular neighbourhood kids. Not from privileged backgrounds, or from…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Day 3 of the retreats today, so I must run. Talking of running – have you watched this? I curled up when I watched this. So funny. Just about sums my life up right now. Running round like a headless chicken, in no particular direction. I just need to stand still for a moment, and get my bearings again. Do you know what I mean? Life seems to gather momentum here. Business picks up…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Tuesday’s the day we take a look at colour blends and the new ink pads from India. Every Tuesday, I showcase a selection of the new inks and then promote them at a special price. This price is valid until the next Tuesday. We LOVE these colours! So today I have used 3 very lovely colours together: Cotton Candy Ocean Reef and Morning Dew Easy little project to celebrate the Gold Golf Medal that…
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!

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…
