Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Well, the Clarity Birthday Celebrations are well underway at The Craft Store TV! I told you you’d love our new Doodle Dies! Aren’t they amazing ? Just so much scope ! I love the boxes with the patterns cut out of them… Paul and I were questioning who came up with the concept. I had no idea, but I did know that Lucy at work had done all the graphics and processing, which was…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Clarity Birthday Weekend here we come! Our friend Ken Kilminster kindly sent us cakes and treats too! Thanks Ken xxx All set for the off, but before I hit the carpark that is the M25, let’s test your cognitive skills with a Spot the Difference… Here we see my demo boxes, ready to be loaded into the waggon… Here I have remembered something else to take… If you managed that little challenge, here’s the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mind the piles of demo boxes and crafty gear as you come in though! Bomzitit springs to mind. The cats would never find their way out of here! It looks like it’s either been burgled, or I’m moving out, which is about right! Everything but the kitchen sink is going up to the TV studios tomorrow, in readiness for the BIG WEEKEND : It’s our Clarity 28th Birthday! Woohoo. Glad to still be here…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Here’s a delightful collection, illustrated by dear Mel Turner, which is just lovely!

For just one week these beauties are half price – plus your Clarity Craft Club discounts. Available as stamps… …and also as Groovi: Available HERE Check out some fabulous art samples from the Design…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. So many events all over the country on this Bank Holiday Monday in England ! Anything near you? We drove past the Edenbridge and Oxted Country Fair AND the Flower Show in Withyam on the way back from a few hours at work this morning. (There was some catching up and a lot of planning ahead to be done – so we took advantage of the quiet time at Clarity Towers). But I was…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Have been clearing away all the demo gear from Friday’s TV shows this afternoon. I didn’t touch half the demos, but you know how it is – fail to prepare, prepare to fail! Thing is, you see, if you don’t have everything exactly there in front of you, ready to reach for, you really have NO time to start looking and faffing. Even after all these years, I go through the demos again and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s birthday weekend at the CraftStore (was HOCHANDA), so we thought we’d do something special for them, and make some funky Birthday Stamps! The 9am show certainly Happy Birthday rocked! Glad you liked them! Lisa designed the Happy Birthday stamps… Cherry Green illustrated the numbers and funky bugs…. I designed the stencils… And Dave is in charge of the cut outs! Check this out! Makes such a difference ! And in case you were…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It was great being back in the SHAC SHAC today! Cor. You don’t realise how much you miss something until you do it again! Well, let me rephrase that! You don’t realise how much you miss SOME things until you do them again! That’s better. Driving the SHAC bus is a güd thing. It feels güd. As I said, once a week works now, for most of us. But should things change, and should…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Still ticking boxes like a loonie here. It’s the only way forward for this old chick at the moment. Keeping busy and keeping focussed. We can call it being mindful, and we can also call it staying on top of things. Bit of both. With the world in such turmoil, we crafters are very, very lucky to have creative distraction. I was talking to Linda Williams this morning, about the next Craftalong we’re doing…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Tuesday’s blog rolls back the hours, right? How about a little Snowflake trip down Memory Lane? I was looking through our Christmas library this morning, and came across these two black beauties, by Linda Williams. I have done detailed step by step blog projects of these Snowflake Baubles on Black Parchment in the past. Click HERE to find. These classy cards are not as tricky as they look… I remember when we launched these…
