Hi there, Greetings from a hive of activity above the garage! The clock is ticking and the pens are clicking! The countdown is on for Sunday TV on HOCHANDA, and I’m nowhere near ready yet, so Heather and Paul have dived in to help me. 7 Hours of live TV is a bit extreme, even for an old timer like me! But the new stamps we have planned for the One Day Special are pretty cool…. You know all the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sunny day down here. I actually sat out in the warm sun and drank my tea outdoors earlier!It felt very good. Very relaxing. But then again, I am sprung like a bloody coil today, so drinking a cup of tea ANYWHERE was a bonus!!! What about you? Let’s go blue today, it being Thursday’s Blue Blog Day! And the Bloggy Sale goes on. These leafy stamps are very lovely to use. If you haven’t…
Hi there. Good of you to drop in. I can’t stop long; have a mile long list and two hours to do it all in. And then she heard herself, and the noise in her head. This will not do at all! she exclaimed. If you are going to write a blog about being mindful, then be blimming mindful! So she went and poured herself a large glass of cold water, for after all, it is the great life giver,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! It’s Tuesday and the sun is shining. Am ticking a load a load a boxes here! So let’s tick the Bloggy Sale Box too! One of the most fun things we have done in a while was the Jigsaw Puzzle. It really is a proper jigsaw! created by hand with stamps, just as if you were making a card – except you do your artwork on a jigsaw blank. We sell them in packs of 16…
Hi there! Windy, innit!! We’ve got a few trees down around this area. So Storm Katie is definitely blustery! Monday’s blog is flowers and trees, so nothing more appropriate today, than our new Groovi Baby Trees, Set of 4 plates and 5 trees. Designed by our lovely Melanie. These are so delightful to use, I thought I’d do a little step by step for you this morning, while the wind is howling round this little upstairs artroom and the…
Hi there! Happy Easter Sunday! No Sale today, if that’s ok. It’s Easter Sunday. We are on HOCHANDA Shopping TV today at 11am 3pm and 6pm – that’ll do! I hope you are having a good day? Getting set for a good walk and roast lamb here. But have to weave it in around the telly, because our good friend Paul Church is on HOCHANDA TV today, and he is showcasing some of the latest and greatest of Clarity. Wait…
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…
