Hi there Thanks for popping in. Ready for something new, lovely and different? Linda Williams has spent months developing this new Groovi Collection, and we are about to release them on Create & Craft at 4pm this afternoon. Well, actually Paul is in charge of this launch; I’ll be up at the studios next week. New and Different? What’s different here, I hear you ask. These are very clever, very beautiful layering frames. Easy to extend and reduce in size,…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m in the middle of listening to a novel on Audible at the moment. It‘s entitled ‘The Favoured Child’ by Philippa Gregory. It’s the sequel to Wideacre, a story about the Lacey family – Beatrice in particular. The sequel skips a generation and picks up with another Lady Lacey: Julia. Anyway, it’s easy listening, well narrated and very well written, so it keeps me company when I’m driving back and forth to mum’s house,…

But just for the week. So this week we take a look at Tina’s magnificent Floral Swirls & Corners. But before we do, I‘d like to announce the winners of the Clarity Open Day…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in, Happy Sunday to you. After a brilliant Friday night at The Black Deer Festival here, just 10 minutes down the road from us, with wonderful Anais Mitchell, and then back on Saturday for a spectacular dance and sing along to none other than the legendary Bonnie Raitt AND my personal favourite, Chrissy Hynde and the Pretenders, Dave and I opted for a softer Sunday. It promised showers too, so we decided to pass on…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, as we’re off out to The Black Deer Rock Festival down the road. It is a 3-day event, and the line up is excellent. Well, for me. Anais Mitchell, The Pretenders, Bonnie Raitt??? That’ll do me just lovely! I just blasted David Bowie through the house whilst giving it a quick hoover and a tidy up. That’s got me in the Music Festival mood for sure! You have to seize the…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. It is so warm here in the South East. Forgive me for keeping it short and sweet! I have to find a shady spot to sit! In the aftermath of the Clarity Opens Days, which were so special, I have to say, I am pretty wiped out. I bet a lot of people are too! A combination of heat and heart I think. There’s so much work goes into the Open Days, but also…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Oh these are exciting times indeed! The van’s all loaded and ready to go to Ditton early tomorrow morning. Sam Crowe’s already in the Hotel. She drove down from Newcastle today. Tina Morris is also darn sarf and visiting her Mum. The others are all wending their merry way down to Maidstone tomorrow. It’s a bit of a cliff hanger on the pottery front. The kiln is still at 400º, but coming down. Takes…
