Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just had a lovely meal: Smoked ham with honey, fresh beetroot and….German potato salad. I’ve blogged this recipe before – over 10 years ago in fact!! Where does the time go? It’s a specialecial secret, which I share only with my friends…my world famous, handed-down-to-me-by-my-Mum-and-through-generations  GERMAN POTATO SALAD RECIPE !! Nothing to do with making cards, but certainly something to serve friends and family.  It’s so easy! Here’s what you need: Red Potatoes Mayonnaise Gherkins…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Woke up this morning, and actually had nothing specific to do – apart from this ’ere blog, of course! Dave had to work, so the day was mine to use as I pleased. Of course I have always got enough work to more than fill all my days forever and ever! Clarity Towers is always there, looming in the background! But I am trying to avoid work at the weekends unless absolutely necessary. I…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, to remind you that the SHAC bus is headed for Holland this evening at 7pm! Well, virtually!

We have created a page over on the Clarity website with everything that you will need to join in, but here’s a…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just been talking to Grace in New York. We speak most days, which is lovely. Sometimes, we just leave the Facetime app running on the computer screen; she gets on with her Clarity work over in Brooklyn, and I get on with mine here in Sussex. It’s as if we were sitting in the same room. I want to talk a little about Gracie. She has been struggling with chronic pain and inflammation in…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just spoke to Paul, who is launching these beautiful plates on Create & Craft at 6pm this evening. Designed by our lovely Jazz, and clearly going to be popular with our Groovi friends, as they are already selling well! That doesn’t surprise me. They are super pretty, very versatile and loaded with lovely elements! The One Day Special consists of: 4 x A5sq Delightful Round Floral Frames 4 x A6sq Delightful Square Floral Frames…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Topic today? Poetry. I used to write a lot of poetry when I was a young girl. It was a way to express my thoughts and emotions back then, before I discovered other ways out of my head, like art and pottery. I also used to read and still do read a lot of poetry. I have my favourites: John Keats, John Clare, Maya Angelou – to name but a few. These three are…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Easter Monday and all is well. Was watching Iolo Williams trekking through the Welsh marches earlier, and suddenly had a hankering to do some stencil art. So here is a splash of treescape colour, stepped up. I used our lovely treescape Stencil, designed by Mel. An hour or so of inky distraction was just what the doctor ordered… Look out for it behind me the next time we hang out together in the SHAC!…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Easter weekend! I hope you are enjoying the break. Loving the absence of cars on the road outside. Nothing like a little quiet to calm the mind and get some clarity. Feeling a little under the weather here. Nothing serious – just a persistent cough which has been picking up momentum all week. I haven’t really got back on track since my last bout of pneumonia etc, so this has knocked me back…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I hope you’re enjoying your Easter weekend, and that the sun has come out for you? I‘ve been drawing some new stamps, spring cleaning and listening to the new book that Grace has narrated on Audible. Very VERY good. It’s entitled Her Lost Words, by Stephanie Marie Thornton. It’s about a mother and daughter. Grace reads Mary Shelley, the daughter; the woman who created Frankenstein. The other woman is Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley’s mother;…
