about 30 years ago, I had a bright idea…. Hi there. Thanks for popping in. In the run up to the GRAY FRIDAY SALE at Clarity (We leave Black Friday to the rest of the world), I thought I’d use these 4 days to tell you how we evolved in the the Claritycrafts Company that we are today. It was the early ’90’s, the kids were nippers, and we lived in Northern California. My Brother Steve and I were already…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s a sunny Sunday morning here in East Sussex, and there’s a pretty keen sale on the Claritycrafts website (until midnight tomorrow). In the run up to GRAY FRIDAY, we’ve been shining a light on various aisles at Clarity Towers, and this weekend we’re taking a look down Aisle 3 – The Mixed Media section. This is where we store paints, pastes, inks, brushes, canvas boards – and all those wonderful craft products which…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got a torch?! It gets dark so much earlier now, as we edge our way through November, doesn’t it? Much colder too. Whilst our British Autumn colours are beautifully breathtaking, the damp chill that accompanies this month is less pleasant. The torrential rains down here in the Southeast have slowed down for today at least, so Mother Earth can absorb some of the floodwaters. It’s definitely time to put away those flip flops and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s raining cats and dogs outside, so I’m very glad to have moved my Mac into the house. Irony of ironies, I’m now able to keep our Erik company in the dining roon, because that is where I have taken up Techy residence, and where he now has to spend the next month, in a large cage, to let his broken leg heal. Pink splint?! He’ll never live it down! Boy oh boy. But…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Have moved my Mac from above the cold garage into the much warmer and more welcoming dining-room. So you never know! I may well start blogging more often now! Time will tell… Had a little break away from reality in Lyme Regis, down in Dorset this weekend. Such a beautiful place! We met up with Dave’s sister on Saturday, to celebrate her birthday, then went walking and fossil hunting all along the beach on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a while since we showcased a set of brand new grids, (January this year) and it’s been even longer since we showcased ribbon grids (June last year!). SO we’re very excited to be bringing you a beautiful collection of brand new, fresh-out-of-the-oven ribbon grids. And what’s more, they’re based on a diagonal grid – which is very welcome, because they are much more challenging freehand, and they always looks wonderful, don’t you…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s raining cats and dogs, the idiot neighbour is letting off ridiculously loud fireworks despite the deluge (whatever flaps your flares I guess), and just got back from a visit with Dad , who really isn’t doing great. It sure sucks getting old. Honestly? I could scream. But what purpose would that serve, except freaking Ragnar and Erik out even more than they are already ?! So. I’ve retreated to the back of my…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Busy busy busy here at the TV studios! While Linda’s Christmas Treasures are flying out, Tina has smothered us with lovely Kisses. What wonderful little Doodle Tile & Disc Stamps these are! And the Bijou Ribbon Words are a MUST HAVE! Perfect size. If you enjoy playing and making, you’ll love this collection. Here is some inspiration from the Design Team. Wonderful art as ever. Thank you all xxx Paul will be working his…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Can you believe that October is almost over already? What is going on?! The older I get the faster Time seems to fly! It only seems like yesterday we were sweating our little giblets off and there was a hose ban! In the twinkling of an eye -aye aye – and 3 Prime Ministers later – we‘re knocking on November’s door…. So it is with great pleasure that I do declare tomorrow’s launch of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunday – and all is well. After a busy bustling and brilliant 4-day Parchment retreat at the iconic Spa Hotel in Royal Tunbridge Wells, I have finally found the time and energy to show you what we did and how it went! Well, I can only speak for myself, but reading the room so to speak, I am guessing I speak for many when I say the workshops were a resounding success. From course…
