Hi there Just a quick step-by-step demo for you, because the Clarity fresh Cuts Die sale ends tonight at midnight! I came up with a cool trick whilst making the August ATC card for my partner of the month, which I want to share with you BEFORE the Die Sale ends! You will soon see why! Here’s where we’re headed… You can see that I’ve made more than a card too! Why stop there when you’re having fun?! I enjoyed…
Hi there Life turns on a sixpence, as my Dad always used to say. One minute you’re all set and ready to go live on HobbyMaker TV, just about to get your best top on and put your lippy on. The next, you feel like somebody’s punched you really REALLY hard in the sternum, you’re seeing stars, and you have to lie down on the floor before you fall down. That’s what happened Wednesday. Two things to add to the…

Hi there, That’s it! Clarity Retreat Week is over for another year. I would say that both my inky, painty workshops during last week and Linda Williams’ Groovi parchment weekend were very well received, and that participants got a lot out of them. We always put a great deal of thought and prep into these events, and it certainly feels appreciated. Even the little touches, like fresh flowers on the ‘lunch tables‘, put a smile on faces. I forgot to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Before I head over to work, to set up for this afternoon, how about a quick blog, to map out today’s Clarity TV show flow at 3pm? I still have to find a few bits and bobs, but thought it would be good just to blog the journey we’ve been on with this Landscape Art… It all started with these tea-bag, tea infusion papers. Remember these? Well, I used them to develop a Landscape…
Hi there Just a quickie to let you know we’re back in Blighty! Maybe you didn’t even realise we were gone! And in we, I mean Sam Crowe and myself. She and I went on a 3-week long, arty, inspiration gathering road trip, from San Francisco to Albuquerque. It was pretty epic, and we did indeed experience so, so much. There were things we had planned, and there were things that simply presented themselves; we seized those unique moments with…
Hi there, Can you believe it’s 10 years since we launched the GROOVI SYSTEM? Where does the time go? We really have come a long way down the Parchy road since I first launched this concept on the old Create & Craft, even before Hochanda came along. Get the kettle on, make a cuppa, and then settle down to read my original blog about the launch back in 2015; it’s quite something! Here is the Blog when Groovi was launched…
Hi there Went for a walk up on the forest early this morning, before the sun burns through. No cars, no planes, no humans, just lots of birds – bliss. Oh. And some Exmoor ponies. They bring them onto the Ashdown Forest for vegetation control, because they help to keep the bracken and scrub down by grazing. This saves mechanical intervention. Beautiful animals! The main point of this tale – or should I say the mane point of this tail…
