Hi there! Sorry I am so late, but we just had THE FUNNIEST TIME! We did a Murder Mystery in the garden, all had to dress the part. Oh how we laughed!!! It was set in the 60’s and if I heard the word GROOVY once I heard it a hundred times! I was Kitty Killer, but I wasn’t the murderer! Take a look at this unsavoury bunch. Who do YOU think it was? Just a brief description will do…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Will you forgive me if I don’t stay long? You see, our friends here in France, the people who own the heavenly place we are staying at, fired up their bread oven for us, and we all made fresh pizza and brioches in the garden this afternoon. Words fail me. It was and is magical. Their generosity of spirit and joie de vivre is unbelievable. Here’s my effort! They are out there singing and…
Hi there! Barbara is currently stuck without an internet connection, so she asked me switch on this Tuesday’s YouTube. Hope you like it! Enjoy. Jim x
Bonjour! Thanks for popping in today. Have had a great Monday here in Bretagne, hanging out in the garden. Spent a good portion of the morning peeling potatoes with Jayne, in readiness for my world famous potato salad (not!) Getting photo-bombed.. Meanwhile, the others were getting right into their Groovi Plates and Gelli Plates! So here is a Gelli background, which Kirsty and Sam rustled up between them, and then donated to the daily blog cause. Lovely. Can you see…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. What a beautiful day we have been having here in our little retreat – a slice of heaven. I made a pact with myself before leaving England, that Sunday, today, was going to be a craft-free day. After the last couple of weeks, I decided to STOP. The others on the other hand, were all set to get creative as soon as the sun came up! Mel, illustrator par excellence, Sazz, getting right in…
Greetings from France! All landed safe and sound. Some flew in, Some went the long way round! A wonderful mix of Design Team and good friends, all set to have a superb week in one of the most beautiful places in the world. But off to bed I must! Doesn’t look that far to Bretagne on the map….Dover – Calais, but it’s a day away – especially via Dunkerque! Ask Dave! Lots of love Barb xxxx
Hello there! I have just been chuckling away to myself, reading all the comments from yesterday, the chattering away in the wee hours and the guesses at where we went and what we did. So many of you were soooo close. So many of you figured out that the Rugby Club must be involved. Part one CORRECT. But the keys? Nope. In all honesty, you had two hopes of guessing what we took back: Bob Hope and No hope! So…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got back from an evening walk, after a long but good day up in Peterborough. The Groovi plates were epic again. Pinch me. I really did try to hang on to the embossing tool as long as I could, before Martyn virtually prized it out of my hands because everything had sold out again. Thank you so much for watching and supporting; I curled up when Beryl, she who called Martyn Nigel…
Hello there. Come on in and take a seat. Mindful Wednesday couldn’t have come at a better time for me personally this week. It is a perfect opportunity to focus on the words I am writing, and expel the demons in my head. Better out than in, as they say! You know that expression, “Curiosity killed the Cat” ? Well, let me explain… There has been some negativity on Facebook, regarding our slow delivery and service. I agree; we do…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Thought I would offer you another Groovi session. This time, I have used the lovely Butterfly and Wreath Plate – well some of it! I’m a total novice at Parchment Craft, but our Groovi Plates and their Mate certainly make it enjoyable and easy! If you like this Groovi kind of art, and you want to know more, then CLICK HERE much love,
