Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hope you enjoyed the TV show and the SHAC Shac today. The sales certainly reflected interest in the backdrop stamps and the Clarity Characters!! It’s always heartening when it works. Thank you. Looking through my thousands of project photos yesterday, I found a perfect combination of Clarity Character Annabel used in combination with one of our Clarity Classics, which you may even recall from the early SHAC Shac doodle days: Our Tall Trees (which…

Hi there. Thanks for popping . All set for tomorrow’s 9am TV Show on Hochanda now. I LOVE the stamps I am showcasing ! We took a set which I illustrated years ago, and put a new spin on them… Do you recognise these? These are the silhouette Clarity Characters…. And here are the individuals with matching panel stamps… I drew them years ago. Clearly, they are timeless, because they certainly fit right in today – as they did way…

Hi there Thank you for popping in. Been working alone this afternoon, prepping the 2 hours of Live TV on Hochanda on Friday. 9am and 1pm. So don’t forget all you Shackers! The ShacShac is at 10.30 on Friday. Anyway, it’s been okay, being alone with myself today. Stayed busy with art, and produced some pretty cool stuff, which is always sweet relief when it comes together quickly. Back in the day, when I first started doing Live TV shows,…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went to the office today for a design meeting with Lovely Lucy and Lisa. Great session. I love working with two such creative, switched on, easy going women. Nothing is too much trouble, and they always see what I see. We are definitely cut from the same cloth when it comes to design! It was Mel’s work we were getting to grips with. Always such magnificent and original art. More will be revealed. And…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. In case you didn’t catch it in the SHAC this morning, we are starting a Groovi Tuesday ShacSHAC for all our friends who like parchment craft, or want to try their hand at our Groovi art! You’ve been asking for this for a long time – and we have listened! I’ve wanted to do it for ages, but time has always been my issue. However, Paul is happy to be the bus driver on…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Went over to my parents first thing this morning with the first big food delivery for them in weeks. It was great to sit and talk with them. Haven’t seen them since before Christmas, what with the new Covid strain, the scare at work and and and …. But both Mum and Dad have had both jabs now, and it’s been nearly 3 weeks since the second one. Also, their fridge was pretty empty,…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I’d like to take another look at those stamps and masks we showcased yesterday in our new A Moment of Clarity Facebook Live show, and thought I’d revisit that Smile project from yesterday in photos… Here are the products. For this particular recipe, you need the masks and the stamp. The Groovi plate I am going to tackle another day, when I’ve got more time… The 10 Feel Good Word masks are also available…

Hi there Thanks for popping in.  Wow. What a day! From singing She Loves you yeah yeah yeah, tales of feeding a sheep farmer Romano peppers stuffed with pine nuts, capers and parmesan cheese, and creating havoc whilst skiing in the alps in the SHAC Shac at 10am, to setting up a virtual mini stand at the NEC and pretending we were all hanging out there together at 3pm! Isn’t it amazing what you can do when you have to?…

Hi there Thanks for popping in! I’m all set for tomorrow’s new show on Facebook Live at 3pm – our new Moment of Clarity. Excited actually. I do hope you can join me! Pretend you’re coming to the stand at the NEC, to watch me demo and show off some new stamps and masks…! Several big differences though – you are in the warm, you’ve got a lovely cuppa, AND you’re sitting down! No need to stand around here! And…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Kiln finally cool enough to open and inspect the latest offerings. This was a real trying things out load, a proper R&D on glazes and tiles – so I wasn’t holding my breath. All in the name of FTO. Figuring Things Out. But I have to tell you a secret. Lean in a little closer, so I don’t yell at you… I AM SOOOO CHUFFED!!!!!!!!! The tiles are flat and not pitted, which was…
