Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been up hours, turning those pots and bowls I threw yesterday! If I get time, I’l, start on a few tiles later – although we have got a date in the SHAC at 7pm this evening, so I can’t really rock up caked in clay. In the meantime, Tina will be launching a brand new Plate Mate during The Pergamano Shows on Create & Craft on Thursday at 11am & 3pm For those of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I stepped away from the Clarity plate today, put on my Claypron – and had a full day on the pottery wheel. It was absolutely just what the doctor ordered. I have been neglecting my pottery this year, and it’s time to get back in the saddle. I love it so much. It’ll take me a while again, to get back in the throwing game – You don’t forget the drill, the process, but…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Paul picked me up in his posh new car at the crack of sparrows, and we headed up to the Create & Craft TV studios, to showcase a set of fabulous stamps… What‘s this? We hear you ask… We waved the “Bijou” wand, and shrunk Linda Williams‘ Children Through the Seasons designs. Jazz has waved her magic wand, and added many different elements/worker stamps to each of the four A5 Stamp sets. Now we…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. On this eve of Bonfire night, I was thinking about a particularly special bonfire evening a few years ago, when we were working up at the NEC. We always used to stay on a farm with a wonderful lady called Norma. Do love that woman. Think of her often – and with good reason ! Let me tell you a story… Whenever we stayed at her B&B in Berkswell, about 5 miles outside NEC,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Before I make a dash for the artroom above the garage in this here rain deluge, let me chat to you – in hopes that it will calm down! One cat’s in, one cat’s out. Ragnar actually likes the rain – weird little Viking that he is! Or maybe he likes the rubdown with a warm towel he gets when he eventually turns up at the kitchen door like a drowned rat – or…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Early start on Create and Craft this morning! I hope you were able to join Paul at 8am and myself at 9am! I love the stamps showcased on that show. The funky words provide a perfect setting for fun and arty backgrounds. Today’s shows at 9am & 1pm were all about the backgrounds, and we put some amazing offers together for you. You can always watch on Catch up if you missed them. But…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie here, to highlight a beautiful new set of Groovi designs. At 4pm on Create & Craft, we’re releasing the fifth set of the Linda Williams’ Layering Frames Collection and this time it is all about the Celts. LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! And I know for sure that our good friend Ken Kilminster will love these too! He’s always been a fan of Celtic knots, so when I see these, I see…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. My bags and boxes are all packed and ready for TV tomorrow. Just had a conversation with Paul, who is driving us up there in his lovely, shiney new car. He was so excited to tell me he can stack 2 big blue bins on top of each other in the new boot. “So much more space!” he said. “AND there’s a false bottom in it”. Woah. Steady on there !! I had to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the southeast today. Almost T-shirt and shorts weather! Not that you’d ever catch me in shorts!! I look down at the legs that walk me around nowadays, and wonder who’s got mine!! That wicked witch certainly did a number on me when she swopped my legs for this pair! Had a laugh with Grace this evening. Conversation went like this… Grace “How’s Dave?“ Me “He’s ok. Went to the…

It’s the perfect day for crafting! I’m up in my Artroom,…
