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…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It was good to hang out in the SHAC with like-minded people this morning. The artwork we are doing together at the moment is right up my street too, so that’s a bonus ! In case you are new to this ere blog, and not familiar with the SHAC SHAC (Safe happy And Creative), there are about 200 of us who meet every Monday and Thursday morning at 10am on Facebook Live – find…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. DOn’t know whether you joined us in the SHAC this morning on Facebook LIVE. I really enjoyed it! It was fun. And Fun is needed – it really is. Just and hour, a breather. Here’s what we did! And here’s what we used to inject colour! If you fancy catching up, watching how we achieved this lovely effect using cotton buds – here’s the Youtube recording. Sometimes the simplest things give us the best…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Spinning plates. You know the trick. Plates on sticks. Who’s familiar with this game? It’s a never-ending trick. You can’t stop spinning the plates; you have to keep going. And then – out of nowhere – another plate appears, and you have to spin that one too. Or should I say, you THINK you should spin that one too. There IS a maximum. There has to be. You can’t keep piling on the plates…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. There’s a particular quote that I use. A lot. This too shall pass Solomon It’s true – in good times and in bad. So when you find yourself in a crisis, in a drama, in a grim situation, it helps to remember that This too shall pass. Conversely, when Life is a chair of bowlies (err .. I mean a bowl of cherries), and everything’s going your way, you should always know that –…
