Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got back home from the craziest couple of days up at HOCHANDA. Traffic was reasonable too, so I was home early! Yay!!!! Pretty much sold out of the One Day Special in the first hour. And if you have been following the blog, you will know that we have been working night and day to get the stock up to respectable. Thousands of plates. I’m telling you: thousands. I was gobsmacked when Alex…
Hi there!Happy Mother’s Day! Happy Sunday! I hope your day is going as well as mine; we have had the best show ever here this afternoon! Makes all the shift work and extreme weeks well worth it. Couldn’t do without the Clarity team though. Muchas gracias guys!!! I have been pedalling away with Paul for a couple of days, gearing up for this weekend’s shows. When we finally surfaced yesterday afternoon, look what was waiting outside the kitchen door for…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Hope your weekend is going well? Things are pretty manic here, gearing up for TV tomorrow and Monday. We are putting on 7 hours of new Groovi. All Groovi, and very exciting. New ideas, new plates, new techniques. PLEASE. If you are a stamper, and you’re not into parchment, don’t moan. Just switch me off this time. We did all stamp shows last week! Most of our revenue comes from Groovi at the moment, so…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! It’s a lovely day outside. I was sitting here, drinking my first cuppa of the day, and enjoying the sun shining on the trees outside. Sometimes it’s just so relaxing to do nothing! Anway, the wall to the left of me is covered ceiling to floor with books and mags. The largest one jutting out is my pride and joy. Well, since Friday’s blog is a private peek, let’s get it out and have…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in. Got a lot on today, so thought it would be acceptable to look back a year, and see what we were up to on 3rd March 2015…. When I was a teenager, I had a five year diary. You know the sort. Last year’s entry was above this year’s space to fill, so you could read daily what had been doing on the year before. And the year before. And the year before…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in today. Wednesday’s Blog is when we look at matters of the soul, why we craft as opposed to what we craft, and other things to do with Life. I’ve just met up with my Mum and Dad at the Garden Centre, to have lunch and do the Handover! What is this Handover? I hear you ask.. Well, it’s where they give me hundreds of lovely clean and packed Groovi plates all ready…
Hi there! It’s been a busy few days here. In fact, Dave has resorted to pulling a night shift, just so we can keep up with orders. We may have upset a few people who got impatient, but to be frank, it’s as it is. When we are working round the clock, When Dave has turned his day into night and night into day, when my brother has quit his job to climb aboard the Clarity Boat and roll his…
Hello there! Happy Leap Year Monday!Thank you for popping in. Monday’s Blog is trees and flowers, so how about a very simple card, showcasing one of our best garden stampsets? Very trying morning at the office. So before I do my 400 plates a day – it’s best to retreat into my little Clarity den and have half an hour of art. Clears the mind and flushes out all the crud. Here’s a 7″ x 7″ ink pad scrap from my…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday? Had a quick coffee with Paul this morning, made a plan for next week, (yikes) and then got back to cleaning and packing Groovi Plates! I have set myself 400 daily. Every little helps. Dave has been at work baking them all weekend too. Sometimes, the only way to get the job done is to do it. So to today’s step by step. It’s from last week’s TV shows….
Hi there. Good of you to drop in this Saturday! I’ve emptied the fridge, (which was starting to resemble a science project); I’ve been to Waitrose and filled it again. So now I’ve had my domestic fix, we can move on! On Thursday, when I was on HOCHANDA, I showed you a piece of artwork combining Stamps and Groovi work. Maria’s been doing this beautifully for months; I just took a while to catch up! I really like the look….
