Hi there Thanks for popping . Been a fab day! Went to Clarity Towers this morning, and had a super creative art planning session with Lucy and Lisa. I love working with those girls; they get it. And they get me. You can’t beat a proper meeting around the table. This week our Offer of the Week is pretty special too. This is Papercrafting at its best and easiest! A while ago, we designed an excellent and oh so useful…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just surfaced from the pottery studio after about 8 hours of play! Like a mole coming out of its hole! Where does the time go?! I think that when you find your passion, you transcend time. It’s like turning inwards, creating a kind of shield around yourself which blocks out time. That’s how it is for me with pottery. I am very fortunate to have a husband who gets me. Last week in class…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! So glad you like the Feathered Friends Stamps which were showcased on the Craftstore this afternoon. I thought you might! Here’s a little taster of the Owls on parchment that were done in the first hour. If you missed the TV shows, you can always go back and watch on Catch up, over on Thecraftstore.com Anyway, here goes. It’s so easy! Stamp the owls onto a sheet of copy paper. This primes the stamps…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Those of you who join me in the SHAC Shack will recognise our feathered friends on TV tomorrow! I am launching a smashing collection of beautiful birds, all illustrated by our friend, Mel Turner. You will recognise them all, except perhaps the moorhens? And I don’t think we’ve done the geese in the SHAC either yet. Although they are pretty fabulous. I remember us doing an arty canvas at a summer retreat once. Those…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Bee-n prepping for tomorrow’s TV Shows at 9am and 1pm on The Craft Store (prev. HOCHANDA). I always have to Bee over-prepared. It’s better that way. So many lovely samples from the clever Clarity Team again too! Linda Spencer sent in a particularly lovely piece of artwork which I thought merited closer inspection. I had to look twice to figure out how she did it – you know what I mean. When a piece…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Want to shine a little light on the new and very arty grunge stamps I shall be showcasing on The Craftstore TV this coming Friday at 9am and 1pm. There are so many fabulous elements in these sets! You don’t realise until you start playing with them. Lucy, one of our clever in-house artists, designed these beauties. She’s definitely got the eye for what works well! And we will also be launching new backdrop…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. You may recall a few weeks back I started to illustrate a new Groovi 9-piece Sampler for Paul to use in the weekly Groovi Tuesday on Facebook LIVE. I just thought it would be cool to tackle a different design, having focussed on that Butterfly Wreath since Groovi Tuesday was introduced. Well, I finished it off and passed it over to Lucy to work her magic and turn it into a Groovi plate. Et…
