Hi there! Thanks for dropping in today. Thanks also for watching HOCHANDA yesterday. You have to admit, it is getting good. I love it up there. The presenters are all so delightful. It was great to be back with Leonie too. About blimming time. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Today’s the first day I have stopped for a while now.

Hi there. Mindful Wednesday today. Well I have been scrambling all day to get ready for tomorrow, doing battle with bull, and letting it get to me too. Then Wurka and Hollick dived in, because they saw an opportunity to redo the lounge. So quite frankly, I doubt there’s much I can bring to the party today, other than a card. Or something. Sometimes it’s best just to switch off and get with the hands. Here’s a little something which…

Hi there. Good of you to stop by. We are setting up the stand at the NEC today, for the UK Trade Show. So I can’t stop long. Here’s the other step by step I did a while ago in the project club, for you to try. It’s very easy, but very effective. Try it! First we need a mask. Draw a line, and cut it out. Masking tape round all 4 sides of our stencil card. Place the mask,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in on this sunny Friday ! We have been having a hearty laugh at the brilliant limericks here at the office.

Good morning! Thanks for popping in. After yesterday’s reality blog, and then Gracie getting the part in the film she auditioned for after all, Ooooh! It’s all so exciting!! So I thought an hour of serenity and a little arty session this morning might calm the racing mind! Thursday’s Blog is always Blue, right? So here’s a piece I rustled up from my Gelli Plate stash. See here? I keep the background backgrounds together on a ring… Now which one…
Hi there! Mindful Wednesday today! The day when we look at what we are doing today, what we’re doing with our lives day to day, and how we are dealing with Life – one day at a time! So I’m sitting here in my little art-room, looking out at the birds in the trees. I’ve whistled through some artwork ready for the next TV Show (love it when it comes together that quickly!) Designed a really lovely Groovi landscape plate…
