Hi there. Thanks for popping in. As you know, when the pandemic hit, many things were cancelled, including our annual retreats. They are a big part of the Clarity Events Calendar. Realistically, we don’t think that the Ditton Open Days will be possible this year – it’s too soon. 300 people gathered together in June when we can’t even hang out with the neighbours yet?!? Mmm…next June sounds safer! We are still working on the Ditton Retreats for this summer…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Happy International Women’s Day !! Thoroughly enjoyed creating our tall flowers, with the lovely leggy stems in the SHAC Shac today! Did you join in? I’m loving seeing your art on Clarity Worldwide! It’s great to see so many of you saying it with flowers too. Really easy way to make a greeting card, isn’t it x It occurred to me while we were turning the stems into words, that we do have a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Beautiful Spring morning here in the South East. Sunny, bright blue skies. Makes you glad you be alive. I am getting ready for the TV shows on Hochanda, but it will be good; please join me for a game of arty Chess at 2pm ! I love these stamps. Then at 6pm Paul is taking over the ODS (One Day Special) on HOCHANDA, and playing with the beautiful new Time for Tea Groovi Plates…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had a really good spring clean in the SHAC Shack this morning. It feels so much fresher and nicer now! Was getting pretty skanky to be honest. Just kept piling the next job on the old job, and not filing – just piling !! All set for the 2-4pm Clarity TV Show on Hochanda too. Lovely Lucy and I worked on this one together; we bounced back and forth for quite a while, getting…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Feeling a bit ropey after the vaccine on Wednesday, so I am calling it a day and going for a nap again. Listening to the body and all that jazz… Perhaps it’s because I don’t take any kind of medication, so the body doesn’t know what‘s hit it. Or perhaps it’s because I have never had a flu jab. Or perhaps it’s because I am burnt out and my resistance is low. Who knows….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had my vaccine yesterday evening. Felt fine, I really did! But as the day is going on I’m fading like a flower! There’s nothing for it but to stop for the day and have a nap. Before I go, I want to flag up a wheelie great stencil concept, which we came up with a few years ago now. 6 years ago, to be precise! Thing is, we always dance off to the next…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Had a little look at where we were exactly a year ago today – I like doing that – and guess what?!? Yep. I remember it well… Trundling up to Glasgow today. I’m the filling in the sandwich here in the white van cockpit. Dave behind the wheel, Paul to the left – and me straddling the gearstick. GREAT. Ah well, at least Dave has to touch my knee every time he changes gear….
Hi there Thanks for popping in. What a difference a day makes! Much colder here this morning, compared to yesterday. I opened the back door, and the two Vikings dashed out, ready to take on the world again. Took a quick turn of the wheelbarrow – and shot back into the warm kitchen !! Here’s one for the Blog Tutorial Library.. A fresh and zesty card, using those fabulous Butterfly stamps illustrated by Cherry Green, which sold out last week…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s been important to step back for a week and review the situation. It’s impossible to see the spot you’re standing on, isn’t it? You just keep dancing about on the spot, not actually even listening to the music anymore. So a week away and a lot of thinking – and now I know what has to be done! Now it may be as clear as the nose on your face to you, that…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d just pop in this evening before I sign off for a week or so. If I’m going to switch off, take a break, then I hope you understand that the blog will go quiet too. Just a week. Blogs take a lot of time to prepare and write too. I do them daily, and I do them gladly. One day at a time they are a big part of my daily routine….
