Hi there Thanks for popping in. Is it too soon to make a start on our Christmas cards? I always seem to run out of time, mostly because I always leave it too late. But that‘s because I always refuse to start Christmas in June!! Now somewhere in there, there IS a solution! Either I get cracking now, and build up a tidy stash for December, or I do what I always do. Well, you know what they say.. if…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How was your Jubilee Day off? We went to a brilliant, loud, crazy and fun Jubilation Festival at Brockwell Park near Brixton yesterday – Madness and Squeeze, to name just a couple! But today it was time to knuckle down and finish prepping for Sunday’s TV show 3-5pm, Create & Craft. All done. AND one Stamp project for this month’s Clarity Craft Club too. I must say, this month’s offering is superb. If you’re…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Bye Bye Brooklyn, hello Crowborough! Back in Blighty and back to work! Getting set for the Clarity Sunday TV show today. Really enjoyed getting with my hands today, and making a plan for the 3-5pm show on Create & Craft. The week away, visiting Grace in New York, was brilliant. Busy, action packed and very interesting at so many levels! They say a change is as good as a rest, and I certainly feel…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and had a good weekend. The weekend was a bit of a blur for me after Friday’s TV shows on the new Create and Craft. It was a very long day, left the house at 3am and with a few overnight road closures and diversions arrived just before 6am! Left the studio at 3pm and ran into all the normal Friday afternoon traffic and arrived back at the house just…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well. I seem a little out of sync this week. I think it must be staying in a strange house, not that Barb and Dave’s house is strange! I suppose it is what you are used to, at least I don’t have to worry about jet lag! Ragna and Erik have got used to the new routine (still not sure which is Ragna and which is Erik!) although I know that…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Don’t panic, I haven’t started writing in code! I thought I would shine a light on the additions to this weeks W.I.G.I.G (When It’s Gone, It’s Gone!) As you know, we’re always adding beautiful new designs to our library of stamps, stencils, Groovi plates and Fresh Cut dies, and sometimes you just need to make a space on the shelf! This is where W.I.G.I.G comes into play! With 60% off plus your club discount, it’s a…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you all had a good weekend. Did you manage to catch Tina Cox on the new Create and Craft on Saturday with her new Flowerette Parchlets?

Tina was also showcasing this weeks Half Price Highlight Product of the Week Available in sets Or you may want the singles option – Dies Or the Groovi plates All half…
Hi everyone, Paul here.I hope you are all well. Strange weather in this neck of the woods! This morning we had heavy rain at Clarity Towers and now it is glorious sunshine – as Barb always say “If you don’t like the English weather, then just a wait a minute!” Anyway, I thought I would give you the heads up, just in case you didn’t know – the lovely Tina Cox will be on the new Create and Craft tomorrow…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Yep. The world is going mad, and all we can do is keep calm and carry on crafting!! Whether you make cards for Ukraine, or knit socks for the neighbours, it doesn’t matter – JUST MAKE SOMETHING! My distraction, my calm place, my serenity is in clay. Although I haven’t had much time for pottery lately – that will change again – I did manage to pinch a little trio of pots last weekend….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Life’s a Bowl of Cherries…. Mmmmmm…Ya think? I decided to investigate, and find out where that saying comes from. Originating as the title of a song (1931) by Lew Brown (lyrics) and composer Ray Henderson, it was performed by lots of favourites, from Doris Day to …lookie lookie… Judy Garland. I thought we could take a look at the lyrics while she sings them to us… Life is just a bowl of cherriesDon’t take it…
