Pottery. Ups and downs…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. In a bid to switch off from work, and break the Nose-to-the-grindstone routine, I ventured out to my pottery studio this afternoon. I had started an Architectural sculpture course at the beginning of the year, but then things happened, and pottery got mothballed. Been missing from class pretty much the whole term. But the architectural project has been waiting patiently for me to find my mojo, and this afternoon it landed! It comprises layers….

Happy Saturday! Thanks for popping in. Crumpets and cheddar cheese for breakfast – and now I am one happy bunny! Sometimes you’ve just got to break out of those sensible granola pants, and eat what you like best! What’s the plan today friends? Have you got one? I’ve decided to eat what we’ve got in the freezer. Not all today mind! But having lost my way on the domestic front over the past few months, I thought it might be…

Design of the Week – A Garden Heart

Design of the Week – A Garden Heart

Hi there Thanks for popping in. How ironic that we kicked off our return to the SHAC with a doodled heart, and this week’s Design of the Week is also a heart! Every Tuesday we launch a favourite Design of the Week with 30% off, plus club discount, to celebrate our 30th year in business. I drew this one many years ago, but it’s still makes me smile. It’s got something kind about it. We call it our Garden Heart……

Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thank you also for catching the No. 300 SHAC bus if you managed it this morning. Here’s the Youtube link if you want to catch up.. After almost 3 months it was certainly good to get the old bus back out of the depot and go for a little spin with all my fellow SHACKERS! I hope the speed was right, and we didn’t take off too fast. As I mentioned, we’ll be…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you’ve enjoyed your Sunday? I thought I’d do a photo step up the SHAC art I started on TV last week, using a set of those Floral Panel Stamps…the Tulip. Here goes… Now would you mind if I let the pictures do the talking? I’m pretty bushed to be honest! Pretty easy to follow, right? Stamps and Groovi Plates all available HERE See you bright and early in the SHAC at 10am tomorrow….

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Dave’s gone to work to make the rest of the extra stock stencils which sold on telly this week, (makes for an easier Monday, as he says), and I’ve been having a little spring clean. Well, I’ve been putting away the last of the Christmas decorations to be precise! Yep. Like I said. This year has been all out of sync. It’ll be ok though. Main thing is we’re here, and we’re getting there!!…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Last day of the week, and the old lungs are certainly telling me there’s been some action! I had a feeling that I would get a better reading of the damage once the 4-week course of antibiotics finished on Monday – and ca c’est trés vrais! (Sorry – I’m listening to an Audible book about the French Resistance in World War II, and French is on my mind!). Anyway, time to slow down and…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Back home and enjoying a cuppa by the Aga. Shoes off, and breathe … After a most overwhelming, successful few hours on Create & Craft with my dear buddy Paul Church, it is good to be back home. We doubled the stock levels, you know, to try and keep the shows going, (and we started with plenty!), but still it wasn’t enough. What a testament to our SHAC friends, to our SHAC designs, eh?!!…
