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….
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. It’s quite important from time to time, don’t you agree? To stop and reassess the situation? Hang on, let’s…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I’m busy at the studios today. 11am 3pm and 5pm. Hope you are able to join me! HOCHANDA.COM Here’s one of the projects I am hoping to complete in the second hour, using the Cockerel and Hen stampset (complete with masks) and our new Jigsaw Puzzle blanks. So cool to do! There are loads of pics, which a pretty self-explanatory really. Rather than read the steps, say them in your head, as if you…
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…
