Hello there! Good of you to pop in! The weather isn’t very special down here. Dave and I drove over to Heathfield earlier, and found exactly what we were looking for in yon antique shop: a fabulous linen closet – just perfect. Now I just want to post what I made for you this Easter weekend, and then it’s time to kick back in front of a log fire and stop. I thought this lovely set of stamps, with the…
Hi there, Good Friday. To be honest, I really never feel happy about Good Friday. There wasn’t much good about it at all, if you read what it says in the Big Book. Looking on the bright side is one thing, but I can’t see anything positive about flogging somebody and hanging them up on a cross to die. Sounds pretty barbaric to me. The Germans call it Karfreitag (Sorrowful Friday) which sounds more appropriate) There we are. Friday’s blog…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Continuing our little Bloggy sale, I was lying in bed this morning, thinking about something blue for Thursday, and this particular piece of artwork kept popping into my head. I really like it. Susan Moran inspired it, and I was so chuffed when I added the blue to the back, I shan’t forget it. I blogged it a month ago, if you want to see the step by step pattern build-up, here it is…
Hi there!Mindful Wednesday it is then! Hope you are feeling well? I picked up some virus in London last week and cannot shake it off. I hate being ill – when you’re up to your arse in crocodiles, as we are at Clarity at the moment, and you haven’t even got the energy to bat them off. But it is what it is. Nothing terminal, just a flu thing. I know enough to know that I have to stop, slow…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Been waiting for today to roll round for a while now…. A D E L E T O N I G H T ! ! ! ! ! ! If it’s ok with you, we’ll look at the Groovi Gridwork and the fab patterns you came up with tomorrow. I want to alternate between Stamps and Groovi on the blog, so today let’s check out a very versatile set of stamps… The Butterfly and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! I thought it was time to have a BLOG SALE! I think the Clarity Crew have just about recovered from Gray Friday…. Every day for the next two weeks, I shall do a little artwork as always, and offer you the things I am using at a special Bloggy price as we go along. Some stamps, some stencil and some Groovi – in other words, something for everyone! Monday’s Blog is Flowers and Trees, …
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. This time last week we were off to Rochester to meet up with my parents to celebrate my birthday. Steve Me Dad Mum Dave Me Dad Mum Here we see Mum posing and Steve playing silly buggers in the alley! Wonky building! Topes for Lunch Wow! The week with wheels!!! Is it me, or does time seem to fly by much faster as you get older? Dave laughed at me last Sunday. We were…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. Saturday’s blog a new technique, eh? To who? To you ? To me? Sometimes I think we are galloping forward at such a speed, looking for new things, that we forget some of the special tricks we discovered a while back. This one for example: Ranger Distress Inks used to paint a stamp. Making our own ink palette to fit the stamp. Let’s take a closer look… Are you familiar with our Garden Heart…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, let me tell you about my day yesterday. It was absolutely brilliant. I caught the train to Charing Cross in the morning, and – it being a lovely sunny day – I decided to walk to my destination, rather than scurry around on the underground. Across Trafalgar Square and towards Picadilly Circus. It was a glorious morning, and there was a real upbeat vibe in…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Big treat today! A trip to London with a very special person… (more will be revealed tomorrow…) But before I go to catch a train, let us stay a while and get arty. Thursday’s blog is always blue. Remember that Daisy canvas I did the other day? Remember the copy paper I was rolling the brayer off onto in between colours? Wonderful. I love it when I see art in a scrap, don’t you?…
