That’ll teach me! Here’s a sneak peek At a rather fabulous beak; A brand new Stamp and Stencil Set Not just any old bird – But our finest yet! So if you would like to know how to get from here… to…
Grant me the Serenity…
Rolling back the hours, and the years, I went to my little memories box, to see what I could find. I am not a big keeper of things from the past, I don’t have loads of photos all over the house, or boxes of stuff from previous lives. But I do have a little box I made many years ago, in which I store a few precious photos and lovely things. I found this Serenity Prayer which I stamped on…
Blogging at 65mph in a van in a storm…
Monday’s blog is trees and flowers. Well, here we are trundling home after 4 days at the Glasgow Craft Show, and the weather is pretty bad. Actually, it always is when we leave Scotland! Rain, snow, blizzards…but we had a brilliant time in Glasgow, so many thanks to all those kinds visitors to our stand, who made us feel so very welcome. And since Monday’s blog must be writ, This is it… The background was made by pulling a ghost…

Fancy a Gelli Sandwich?
Saturday’s blog, a New Technique. Here’s one for those of us with a Gelli Plate appetite. I have been playing with my Gelli Plate for a year now, and the more I figure out, the more I realise what I haven’t figured out ! This simple new sandwich trick which I worked out last night, after the Exhibition at the SECC had closed, (so that I could stick to my Blog Poem!) made me think of all the hundreds of…
An evening with another man….
Friday’s blog, a private peek…Well, I may as well start as I mean to continue, and level with you. Last night, I spent the evening with another man. I’ve known him since I was a teenager, so it was great to spend a few hours with him again. The last time was back in the 70’s! He’s still quite handsome. We weren’t entirely alone mind; there were a few others there, at the new Hydro, Glasgow. But Peter was on…
A Delft Delight….
Thursday’s blog is always blue. This was a piece I did in the Classroom TV Show several months ago, using the Reeds and flowerheads from the Windmill kit. One of the Clarity Design Team ladies, lovely Sylvia Marshall, sent me a piece of artwork just like this, and I was so taken with it, I borrowed her classy blue design. Hope you like it as much as I do! Mono colour work always looks so classy! All you need is…
New? To who? To me!
Wednesday’s blog is something new. To who? To me? To you? Clearly, I can only approach this from New to me, because new and old are very subjective, don’t you agree? If you’ve been stamping for 20 years, you will encounter a lot less NEW stuff than, say, somebody who has just walked through the crafting saloon doors! Here I have taken a brand new Claritystencil, Madeleine, and run her through a Gran Calibur embossing machine. This may be old…
