Hi there! Good of you to drop in. I have spent the day finishing up the New Design Club write-ups. It all take sooo long!! But there we are. That’s how it is. If you want it perfect, you have to put in the effort. On the subject of Clarity Clubs, it’s that time of year again: The Summer Half Price Member’s Sale. CLICK HERE I would say that most people reading this blog are members of ours. Certainly judging…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Back home safe and sound, while Paul finishes up on TV. Well, that went well, didn’t it ?!? Was muchly relieved that you liked the African stamps too! The Animals and new Savannah stencils, and then the Groovi Twas the Night Collection. Plus Universal Framer So much time and energy (not to mention expense) invested in the designing planning and manufacturing. So it is always a huge relief when you like the dish (or should…
Hi there! Thankss for popping in. And thanks for watching and supporting on Hochanda if you are, although I am barely going to compete with Wimbledon!! What are the chances??? First time in 12 years they play on the first Sunday, and right bang on the same time. Ah well. It is what it is. DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. I am grateful to be here at the studio, working with Charlie, Paul and a bunch of lovely people. Quick…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Sunny Saturday. Well, with the occasional scattered shower and even thunderstorm. That’s England for you; if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute! I’m thinking of getting one of these for Glastonbury next year. Would look quite fetching with my new, outrageously expensive Wellies. Which reminds me, I really must wash them…. I decided to step away from craft for the morning and do a bit of housework. Dave was building a new…
Hiya! Thanks for popping. Yep, late again. We just this minute finished the Groovi prep for the HOCHANDA TV shows. Stamps and stencils on Sunday at 2pm and 5pm Groovi One Day Special, launching on Sunday at 8pm, then carrying on on Monday: 9am 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Believe it or not, I am launching the Christmas Season on the channel! Have I got anything to tease you with…. Black Parchment. Love it. I know. We haven’t even had the…
Hiya! Thanks for stopping by. “Much more better today,” said the little girl. “My friend Paul came round and played. It’s always more fun when he’s around.” Thursday’s blog is something blue, and I have just finished a neat card for Sunday’s show, so thought I would share it with you – or at least the front piece! You’ll have to tune in on Sunday to see how I made faux giraffe skin…. Anyway, let’s take a look. Our lovely…
Hi there!Good of you to drop in. Running late again, I’m afraid. I’ve got what looks like an insurmountable pile of work to do before bedtime, so decided to have a break and chat to you for a bit. Look at the state of this worktop! Somewhere in there are the next New Design Club projects. Have to be completed tonight, so we can move forward with the write-up and graphic layout. But this Groovi one is taking sooooo long! I…
Hi there! Sorry I’m late! Work got in the way… Thanks for popping in though. Another rainy day in the south. Thought I’d have a play with the new YUPO paper, to unwind. It really is THE most therapeutic unwinder! All you need is a pack of A5 Yupo paper some alcohol inks: and some felts Ready? Let’s make a landscape. It’s a piece of cake. Drip some Stonewashed Alcohol ink on the felt and using an applicator, dab dab…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in. We just got back from a crazy week in Glastonbury. And I mean C R A Z Y . Great music, amazing vibe, hooking up with friends along the way. But the mud!!!! T H E M U D !!!!!!! Apparently, the muddiest, wettest Glastonbury on record. Even the woodchip sank. According to Michael Eavis, the Festival founder, who ironically sang “I did it my way” with Coldplay for the finale, “I’ve…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Getting ready for the final day of Glastonbury. Missed Adele yesterday, but we saw her at the O2 in March – otherwise I would have waded through mud to singalong with my fave! Actually, must have picked up a bug at the Open Days, and have been cough cough coughing all week, so probably would just have mimed. Don’t think anyone would notice here somehow…. Looks rather cloudy out there, but we really must…
