Hello there! Beautiful day here in the south! What’s it like where you are? And you should see our house! It’s like walking into a florists!! So many flowers everywhere! I was certainly spoiled on my birthday yesterday.  Thank you so very much for all the birthday wishes, the beautiful birthday cards, the presents and flowers.  Much too much for one person.  But I am very grateful xxxx Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, which is perfect. So I shall send…

Happy Sunday! Thanks for popping in today. I am off to Rochester shortly,  to celebrate my birthday with Mum, Dad, Steve and Dave. It’s a Party!!!! 57 years ago today, in a little village called Sande,  in the very north of Germany,  my Mum was probably feeling worn out and anxious while my Dad was racing around on a pushbike to get the Midwife. So I feel the very least I can do is take them out for a lovely…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in this morning! I had a real hankering to do some stampy art today. Nothing too complicated, because I have got a shedload of work backing up behind me here, and so time is my constraint. Nonetheless, I bet we can get arty  without getting EVERYTHING out of the cupboards! What am I saying?? It’s all out anyway! Shucks. I have to clear the decks before I can even begin! One hour later…. Right. Start…

Hello there! It’s Friday – Whoopeeeeee! Things are a bit too hectic at the office for me. Not feeling 100%,  andcan’t get a blimming thing done for clucking about!  So I am orchestrating operations from my little den in the sky. Well, above the garage at home !!! I’m pretty sure the Clarity Crew are perfectly happy for me  to stay away too…. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? It’s been a funny old week. I’ve been here, but not…

Hello there! Good of you to drop in. We’ve been very industrious this morning; Mandy has been cleaning – guess what? at the kitchen table, and I have been clearing a mountain of ironing. So all in all a good morning’s work. Nothing like a little spring cleaning to clear the head.  Before we indulge in yet another lady’s lunch,  (this time they turned right at the end of the road,  and headed in the direction of Royal Tunbridge Wells),…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Can’t stay long this evening. I have left dear Mandy Branston in the kitchen,  cleaning Baby Plates! She has come down for a couple of days,  to lend a friendly hand and have a good old chinwag. It’s so good to catch up. We went to Bills in Lewes for lunch. #abreakfromwork. Colourful and bohemian… …heaving as always. When we walked in off the dreary, rainy empty High Street into the warm, vibrant busy…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie today;  got my daily 400 plates to clean and can’t be slacking now! A simple Groovi step by step using the new Baby Plates,   which I didn’t get to on Monday morning TV, quite simply because all the Jenny Wrens had flown away! Here are the 4 Baby Wren Plates: Absolutely beautiful. If you’re in the New Groovi Club,  then you will have the little A5 Baby Plate Mate…. If not, then…

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…
