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…
Hi there Just about to head out the door to Clarity Towers, to launch a new and exciting range of stamps, designed by the very creative and clever Nicola Elliot. She calls her brand Stamptagious, and we are happy to announce our partnership with her now. The thing is, we have always made for her. So you may well be familiar with her quirky, very mixed media style. When Hochanda / The Craft Store / Create & Craft let us…
Hi there Just a quick update. It’s been a while since I blogged! The days just seem to run away with me! Many many thanks for all the kind messages, cards, and gifts that Dave and I received last week. So thoughtful and generous! Dave is definitely making great progress, which is very heartening. I see the pain levels subsiding in his eyes as the days go on, and I see it in his movement too. So things are certainly…
Hi there It’s my birthday today, and, whilst I am starting to feel my age, I’m also very grateful to have reached 66! As our Grace always tells me, it’s a privilege not afforded everybody. So with that in mind, I am very happy to be here today, in very good health and with a loving family – I’m sure you understand me! That said, Dave and I will spend the morning at the hospital, because today’s the day they…
Hi there What a lovely Saturday we have had today. The sun was bright and shining in through the window early in the morning, and my absolute favourite tree – which I can see from the bedroom window – is coming to life! Can you guess what it is? The Magnolia Tree! It grows so well in this area. But it’s the one that waves from all the gardens, telling you that Spring is almost here! Spring officially arrives on…
