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…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Monday Monday. Ticking loads on my list today! And this ’ere blog is the last worky thing before I move onto the ironing! In the lead up to Friday’s TV Show on The Craft Store, where I shall be showcasing a collection of fabulous, brand new Funky Creatures by Cherry Green, I thought it would be cool to start the week with a super Christmas Collection of lovely shoe designs, which Cherry illustrated too….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. This every day blogging seems to be a challenge at the moment, so bear with me while I get back in my stride. The head is all over the place at the moment. Proper full on spin cycle. But to lighten the mood, let me take you back to Friday afternoon, when we ventured up to the 100 acre woods on the Ashdown Forest, to visit Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh’s old haunts….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day at work today. Such a good buzz at Clarity. So many creative minds buzzing and clicking and whirring! We’ve got a lot of loveliness in the pipeline, and there is so much goes into designing a new range of stamps, or a new collection of papers, or a bunch of new stencils. From the sketched drawings to the labels on the packaging. And since we do pretty much everything inhouse nowadays, that’s…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a busy day. I think at the moment it’s best to stay busy, not to leave too much time free for thinking and pondering. Went to see my parents today, and delivered a lovely homemade fish pie à la Delia Smith ! It’s an excellent recipe; never fails me. But I really must focus on the ingredients and quantities aspect of the job next time. Check this pie out!! Not one, but…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. August already. Where is this year going? Wherever it went, it certainly took the Summer with it! Or are we still ever hopeful of a mini heatwave in August? Shakes her head in mute acceptance of the way it is… On a happy note, it’s only 130 sleeps to Christmas! Oh Joy. Or to bring it even closer, there are only 19 Fridays till Christmas Eve! Now doesn’t that little factoid dilate time? Oh…
Hey there Thanks for popping in. I have some really exciting news to share with you! I mentioned in the last Clarity Craft Club newsletter I wrote last week, so you may already have received that if you’re in the club, so to speak! It has been a while since I last did A Moment of Clarity. Barb’s Workin’ Life, as you know, has been put on the old backburner for the last few weeks. But this week she’s getting…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sunny Sunday, and all is well with the Gray family. I am happy and relieved to report that Dad was able to come home on Wednesday, and – after a faltering start, which a wonderful district nurse was able to come to the house to help with – things have been improving day by day. As you can imagine, it has been an uphill climb, and will be for some time to come, but…
Hey there Thanks for stopping by. Can’t stop long. Going to get Dad out of hospital, so I’m writing super fast! It’s Day 34 for him! That’s such a long time! Can’t wait to get him home with Mum. Just wanted to throw a light on some new plates designed by Tina Cox that Paul will be launching on The Craft Store (aka Hochanda) tomorrow during The Pergamano Shows at 11am and 3pm. 4 funky doodled landscapes. Lisa took some…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Having you been joining Linda in The Pergamano Summer School via Facebook and YouTube the past four weeks? Linda has been guiding us gently through the Pergamano Handbook for Multi-Needle Tools Volume One. Since she wrote the book, who better to take us on this super trip?! For the past 4 weeks, we have been working with various tools covered in the book. Here is what we have covered so far: Lesson 1 –…
