Hello there. Thanks for stopping by. Yesterday, Friday, was a day I shan’t forget in a hurry. Dave and I spent the afternoon with Jane and her husband, Stephen. And what a lovely time we had. Jane was on top form, sharp as a pin and very witty. As if they didn’t have enough going on, Stephen cooked a delicious lunch, so we sat round the big table and put the world to rights. Clearly Jane was very poorly, but…
Hello there. Friday’s Blog a private peek. Well, we’re off to sunny Spain early today. Granada, Córdoba and so on. A real mini adventure. There’s a certain somebody I want to spend a few hours with, and there’s no time like now. Today. This afternoon. But let Jane tell you herself; nobody can string sentences together like this lady. Jane’s Journey We’ve known each other for a long time, but never met. It’s time we did, said Jane. And so…
Hello there. Thanks for stopping in today! Blimey – you certainly dropped in yesterday with a bang!!! The special offer on the ink pads with the free brushes went berserk!!! We have promised to run it till Sunday, but we may have to change some of the original colours down the road…. We will contact you if the need arises. But Thursday’s blog is always blue, so here’s one of the loveliest Christmas sets we have ever designed; hope you get…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Time for some down time with a new idea. I decided to get out the new umbrella stencil and have a play… Wasn’t sure where I was going, but as long as I was in out of the rain, who cares?! First colour. Attach the stencil to the 7×7 Gelli Card. Low tack masking tape on all 4 sides. Ink Pad Alley! 6 lovely colours. And a set of Clarity brushes. I can feel…
Hi there!Thank you for stopping by. I know. You are looking for You Tube Tuesday, but we agreed to take a break for the month of November, so that I can catch my breath! You may remember a few weeks ago, we ran a little survey, which I am glad to report, many of you and other Clarity followers were good enough to participate in. We have learned so much about our customers! Some things we knew, but other things…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Glad to be back home, after a very busy few days at the NEC. Here’s an easy one I made yesterday afternoon, using the round shape stencil and Clarity Brushes. You can get the blank shapes in a pack… CLICK HERE or you can get the shapes individually, with pattern inners. CLICK HERE Either way, they[re brilliant to have in your stash, because they provide a super art-starting place. Let’s take a look… Attach…
Hello there. Remembrance Sunday. 100 years ago. But we must always remember. Remember. Lest we forget. Much love, Barb xx Posted with Blogsy
Day 3, Saturd’y, busy at the NEC. Magpie in the sky, plant a tree, then let it fly. Take a stencil, stamp and ink; less is more here, don’t you think? But now to sleep, it’s been a long stay. And tomorrow’s Day 4. Remembrance Day. How many years have I done this show? One day at a time, and blow by blow. But it’s getting harder every season, Why? Well there’s seldom ever just one reason… Over the years…
Hello there. Thanks for dropping in. It’s late Friday night, and we’ve just got back to the B&B, after a lovely evening in Balsall Common, to celebrate Dave’s birthday. Jim came all the way from Kent, to drop off a load of stock we had sold out of. What a guy! The NEC was very busy today, and it was great to see so many friends and familiar faces again. We do have a lovely team on the stand here,…
Hello there! Better late than never. You can imagine how busy we have been at the NEC exhibition today! After a rather faltering start, because of a pretty abismal day yesterday, where I scored a big fat 4 out of 4 for HALT, Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired, a bunch of lovely people soon pulled me out of my slump… It was just a pleasure to hang out with so many friends and faithful customers; Here’s the lovely Lee! We…
