Hi there Thanks for popping in. Jackanory. Who remembers Jackanory? I LOVED it!! I would wait patiently, legs crossed, in front of the TV every afternoon after school, and wait for the story. Just for 15 minutes every day, wasn’t it. I’d rush home from school, just to catch the next chapter! You couldn’t miss it, because you couldn’t catch up or watch later. It was then or never. How times have changed. Back then, an adult – mostly a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Today is proof once again, that you never know what’s round the corner, and the best laid plans can go to pot in a flash – or should I say a flutter? Read on… Finally, I had made time this morning to clear away all the gear from Sunday’s TV shows. I popped to the downstairs loo before starting the arduous task of emptying all the demo boxes, and happened to hear a bird…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I remember the first time I found out what a Prince Albert was (look it up if you’re in the dark); I was suitably stunned. Well I’ll go to the bottom of the stairs! kinda stunned. I mean, it’s one thing getting your ears pierced, but this stunt will really REALLY make your eyes water! And since then, whenever Prince Albert comes up in dialogue, my head takes me right back to standing outside…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A while ago, Linda Williams asked us to consider adding Rainbow Parchment to our range. A4 Rainbow parchment. So I spoke to Jim at work, who came up with a whole collection of lovely colourways. Those designs went to our printer, who then got to work on the prototypes. It’s always a BIG DAY when prototypes land back at Clarity Towers. This is when we get a proper wet proof of what the parchment…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks so very much for watching and supporting the Craftstore TV Show today! Why was I so nervous?! Loved every minute of it. Love working with Alex too. She is such a sweet lady and kind friend. It sure was good to be back in the studio. I had forgotten how much we all bounce off each other. Just in case you missed the action, this is what we were playing with! Available…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Got everything packed and ready to go to TV land tomorrow. You would never believe the amount of work that goes into a 2 hour TV show! We have all been beavering away at this little slot for weeks! From drawing and designing to manufacturing and packaging. Prototypes, samples, proposals – the list is endless. But all the boxes are ticked now, so all I need to do is find a pair of jeans…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been nose to the grindstone all day, prepping for Sunday. It’s been raining cats and dogs over our house! What about over yours? Ragnar and Erik are so funny in the rain. Bored indoors today…. Have you ever watched a cat try to run across the lawn without touching the grass?! They flick their feet as they scamper/levitate. Hilarious. Five minutes max and then back in the house. Five minutes indoors and they want…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy prepping for the imminent Sunday TV Show on The Craft Store (prev. HOCHANDA) at 2-4pm. It will be the first time I have been back in the TV studios for 15 months, which is crazy, isn’t it. We have managed to keep going seamlessly throughout this long Lockdown by linking up via Skype. I think it worked very well, all things considered, but it is time to venture back out. I am very…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Looking forward to the Moment of Clarity Craftalong this evening at 7pm? I am! All set and ready to go. It just needs to cool down a little up here! Now where did I store that cool air fan? Or where is that neck fan that a lovely customer generously sent me last year?!? Hahahaha! Found them! Even changes colour! This evening we will be taking another look at those new Floral Linocut Style…
