Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a day for sorting through old photos and memories with our Grace. It was an emotional rollercoaster for sure. We smiled, laughed, wept, hugged each other, and then kept going. We were compiling a photo tribute for Dad’s funeral, which will be set to Billie Holiday’s “‘I’ll be seeing you”. We’d been procrastinating, because we knew it wouldn’t be easy. Was it pleasant looking back? Double-edged sword really. On the one hand,…

Thanks for popping in. Strength is the word of the day. It really is surprising how strong we are, you know. How resilient we are. How much we can handle. Just got to keep a calm head on and keep ticking boxes. They say God only gives you as much as you can handle. Well, he evidently has a lot of confidence in Dave! So much piling up at work, but Dave just keeps his eye on the road ahead….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went walking in the woods with Grace this morning. Slid around on the ice and had quite a giggle. Blue skies and crisp underfoot – apart from the muddy slosh underneath the trees! A walk out in the fresh, wintery air is certainly good for the soul. Whatever is going on in life, there’s got to be time for a leisurely walk with your daughter, eh? She lights up my life Now I’m sitting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. There’s nothing quite like a walk in the countryside for clearing the head, and when the sun is shining, I declare it is better than anything else. Linda has created these beautiful designs, which are perfect – and not weather dependent either! Paul launched these as a One Day Special on Create & Craft tonight at 6pm. Oh boy! They flew out the door! Which only serves to underscore that our groovi parchment friends…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a busy day today, ticking lots of boxes and putting things in place for Dad’s celebration send off. So much to consider, so much to think about. Couldn’t sit still this afternoon either. Blitzed the kitchen, made it all lovely. And now I feel the need to go out and make some art with last week’s Design of the Week Abstract Dandelions stampset, before the price changes and a new design takes…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunny day, blue skies here in the southeast of England. Calm head. A morning of pottery does that. I signed up for a very specific kind of Sunday pottery class many weeks ago, and today was Day 1. Five Sundays in a row. The course title is Architectural Ceramics, so you can imagine it’s all about structure, building, lines, curves. Less about function, more about shape. That’s the kind of art I have been…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Can’t think of anything uplifting or positive to say today, so I shall just offer up Quote #14 Let’s keep it in today All that happened today stays in today. Good and Bad. Tomorrow is another bright fresh day. Another blank canvas! Why don’t you come in and take the reins? Help me out? Tell us something positive. Give us something to smile about. People read the posts and messages just as much as…
