Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie to show off our new Mum/Mom stamps. Are they for Mother‘s Day? Well, they can be of course!! But they are also perfect just to say I love you to a Mum. Or Mom if you are American. They are a very young design. Designed by our very young Jazz at Clarity, which figures! She lives with her mum and I know they are very close, so it all makes sense….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Spent the day with my Mum and Dad. Dad’s in the wars again, but he’s a real fighter. So fingers crossed he gets through this challenge. The district nurse had left, a plan had been made, we were calming down, drinking tea and eating fresh cream cakes – a birthday tradition – and I said what we were all thinking: “Getting old really sucks, doesn’t it” Dad looked over his glasses at me, smiled…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s time to trundle up to the TV studios for the launch of those exquisite Flowers and Lace Groovi plates, designed by Linda Williams – and made by my brother Steve, who just quietly gets on with making, making, making. He’s a happy sort of chap mostly. Doesn’t buy into other peoples’ bullshit. Just gets on with what’s in front of him. Dave too. There’s another maker, a farmer, a builder. Neither of these…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I want to tell you about our exciting Groovi launch tomorrow evening on the new Create and Craft TV channel! Linda WIlliams has designed four beautiful Lace and Flowers Groovi plates for us – and they really are sensational! Paul and I were planning the hours this afternoon, and the feast that Linda has prepared for us is absolutely breathtaking. There is so much to show you! Whether you are new to the art…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. After a busy and very enjoyable TV day yesterday, Monday feels a little bit like the next day. You know, a bit hung over – even though I don’t touch the stuff! So I thought I’d just go back over the last demo I did, with the landscape. it was a bit rushed, but very easy really…. Let’s use one of the medium sized birds from our new Clarity Cut Card Kit, and add…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just finished loading all the demo-boxes and ticking all the got it-boxes for tomorrow’s TV show on the new Createand craft tomorrow from 3-5pm. Thought I write to you before I call it a day on the work front. Here’s what’s coming up on tomorrow’s show. Those fabulous Clarity Bird Cut Card kits for starters! They come with 3 little sets of stamps, perfect for decorating them – but actually beautiful on their own…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s no good, I can‘t wait any longer. I shall have to show you what we have come up with for Sunday‘s TV Show on the new Create & Craft. It’s such a simple idea actually, but it has been months in the planning and making. It all starts with an idea. Clarity Cut-Card Kits… Then the perfect bird shape. Then Dave and his Heidelberg press get to work. Then we design stamps to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. The Russian forces are scaling up their aggression in their bid to defeat or destroy Ukraine and its people – whichever comes first, it would seem. And we stand by, impotent. So we do whatever we can. We give clothes and blankets, and we give money. We give whatever we can. It helps the cause and it helps salve our consciences, our powerlessness. At Clarity, we want to do our bit for Ukraine and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Important day. Tuesdays I go to my parents, hang out with them, help where I can, make sure they’re ok. And they are. So not just an important day, but a good day. Came home to a 100% perfect kiln haul, which always puts a smile on my face! By the way, the red heart is a paper heart, that Dave popped in the bowl! It’s not a design feature!! If you were in…
