Hi there Just wanted to tell you about a little awakening I have had. So you know we have two beautiful Viking cats, Erik and Ragnar. They came to us from oop north during lockdown. Two little Viking orphans, entrusted to us by our friends Gina and Mark. They were so tiny! Well, we’ve been feeding them the standard cat fare from the get go, the supermarket wet food that comes in handy pouches. But they are pretty picky, and…
Hi there Thought I would just pop in to say hi. It’s been a pretty hectic couple of weeks, so I won’t apologise for not blogging. Last week was a bit of a blur, to be frank! Rolled from Hobbymaker on Tuesday straight into Clarity Open Day mode. Grace landed on Wednesday. We picked her up from Heathrow in the evening – and then went over to Maidstone for the next four days. We all stayed in a hotel this…
Hi there. It’s early Sunday morning, the birds are chattering away outside, and I have been working on the Clarity Club project booklets for June. Those thinking jobs are best tackled first thing in the morning, I find. We’ve got such a busy couple of weeks ahead too, that I just need to tick a few boxes, to get ahead, to clear the in-tray. You understand. It’s been like this for months, to be honest. And Acceptance is the key….
Hi there, Happy Bank Holiday Monday! I hope you are having a good one! What are you up to? Tell us below – we want to know! I shall be glazing pots later, in readiness for the Clarity Open Days. What a busy day we had on Clarity Social TV yesterday! I’m so glad you like the new Landscape Dies and Mega Stamp set as much as we do. It’s wonderful that you have invested in them! We appreciate your…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d write a quick blog to shine a light on tomorrow’s Clarity Social TV show on Facebook LIVE. 3-5pm. We are very excited to be launching a trio of rather special and clever new dies. I haven’t seen any thing like these anywhere else, and we think they’re a real game changer. Countryside, Lighthouse & Viaduct Collage Dies Hang on! I hear you say. They look familiar! Didn’t we do a couple of…
Hi there Came in from the garden because – wait for it – it’s too hot in the sunshine!! When will we Brits ever get it right ? 😂😂😂😂. Decided to blog (in the cool shade) about tomorrow’s Clarity TV show at 2pm. I spent yesterday prepping and playing with the new stamps and beautiful new leafy BOW-WOB papers. Oh boy. Prepare to be impressed…. Here’s a little taster from a Gel Plate demo. The papers look fantastic just coloured…
Hi there, Woke up full of beans this morning, after a very successful Wednesday. In case you weren’t aware, I did my first TV show on Hobbymaker TV at 4pm yesterday, and sold out in 20 minutes. Rest assured, we had allocated plenty of stock – but it flew out! I didn’t get to do much demonstrating, but hey ho. We do plenty of art demos on Clarity TV, don’t we? And to be honest, the products were pretty self-explanatory,…
Hi there A week ago today, I was pedalling away on Clarity TV, showcasing those fabulous little Clarity Character stamps we doodled together in the SHAC a while ago. Remember? SHAC People Stamps Just a few samples here, to show you how cool they are! I used them in conjunction with these fab layout stamps, which we’ve reduced in size. They are so cool! Bijou Montage Stamps Then there’s the new Woodblock Sticker Collection and the new Quotes by Clarity…
Hi there. The sun is shining, the birds are singing in the garden, and here’s where I’m at today. Just had a simple breakfast with Dave. Local jam and bread from the local farm shop, washed down with freshly ground coffee. Then I cleaned off the garden furniture, washed down the glass table, which was covered in yew tree dust, got out the seat covers to give them an airing, and will enjoy the sunshine in the garden this afternoon,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s Mothering Sunday here in the UK, so if you are celebrating, or being celebrated, have a great day! I have been up and at it, writing and doing artwork. Tomorrow, to end our Japan March celebrations on a high, we are launching a rather special set of immaculate Crane stamps. They each come with their image masks, too. Original artwork by our friend, Mel Turner. They are so beautiful! Let me find some…
