Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Feeling a bit second hand today, after all the excitement of our One Day Special Set of Shows on HOCHANDA yesterday, which sold out, don’t you know! Right at the very end of play! It was such fun working with Charlie the presenter in that last hour; he really is a hoot. And when he said he used to be really good at darts at school, I almost broke down, because I thought he said…
Hello, Barbara has asked me to load photos of the cards from today’s GROOVI Pick Of The Day event on HOCHANDA. So, as promised, here are they are! Enjoy!

Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Scrambling to get up to HOCHANDA for tonight’s launch. But before I shoot off on the Groovi Trail, I thought it would be a good idea to have a little something for our non parching, stampy friends. How about a very cool sale? Remember our Line Sentiments, hand-drawn and designed by Jim? Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4-Weddings Well, we’ve changed the price for you until Sunday in a big way! From…
Hiya! Thanks for popping in. Quick turnaround here, and back up to HOCHANDA tomorrow, all set for a ONE DAY GROOVI SPECIAL, launching tomorrow evening at 8pm. Am I ready? Sure. What are we launching? A Storage System? That’s nice. Not just any old storage system… A Groovi Storage System…. And somewhere, buried under this lot, is mine. Is it a load of blue trays? Nope. Is it green and made out of cardboard? Nope, but getting warmer. Actually this…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I have prepared this Groovi Step by step project for TV tomorrow, but just in case I don’t get to it, or we run out of time and I have to go for option B, which is much faster and easier, here it is in slow motion! Ready? We are only using the Groovi Starter Kit and the trees which come in the kit, and the Square Nested Plate. Attach the parchment and…
Hi there! Nice of you to drop in. I’ve been packing things ready for TV tomorrow. Checking, double-checking. Honestly, I waste so much time going over stuff, to be sure to be sure. But then again, that means I can relax more on a 2 hour live tv show, safe in the knowledge that I’ve got at least 2 of everything I need, and at least 1 of loads I don’t need. Saturday’s Blog a new technique, right? Well, now…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. Early or what ?!?! Everything has had to wait today, because I wanted to share our latest little creation with you! Yesterday afternoon, the printer delivered the first batch of 2016 Calendars, (haha! Strange number to deliver, thought Mrs Literal) And oh Boy! Am I delighted with the quality! Hats off to Leanne and her team! It’s a calendar of some of my favourite past projects. Some blogged, some YouTubed. So a nostalgic collection…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in! How’s your day been? Mine has been excellent. I have been in high spirits and very productive. Demos are all in place for the TV shows on Sunday. 2-4pm and 6pm HOCHANDA. Well, I’ve got 7. That will be plenty, don’t you think? Love it when all the boxes are ticked. So I was just settling down to write to you, and I gazed out of the window, to ponder my direction…. and then of…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. On Wednesday’s Blog, we look at art from the heart; not so much WHAT we do, but WHY we do it. And today, two words have surfaced in my mind: CREATIVITY and POSITIVITY. Why do we crafters spend every spare penny on inks, paints, papers and craft tackle? And every spare minute making cards, making art, being creative? Why do we strive to master artful techniques, go to workshops to learn more? Why oh…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in. What a beautiful day here in Kent & Sussex today! The colours are pretty spectacular, aren’t they? So I thought I would blog a painted card. Well, let’s qualify that. I thought I would go for a walk with paint on card. These Fresco Chalk Acrylic paints are excellent. On the Gelli Plate, on canvas, and of course, on card. Let’s keep it simple this evening, and stick to card. Which card? Our 7″…
