Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been playing in the Pottalot Studio pretty much all day. It’s been a learning day. Figuring things out, so I can decorate the virgin batch which came out of the kin last weekend! First thing I did was mix up hugs batches of glaze in big buckets. Just whites and clears. They have to sit for a day now, so tomorrow I can crack on with glazing. I did paint some Botz ready mixed…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, washing machine head in full spin today! Just cannot seem to settle. All the rationalizing which I am usually good at, is not helping today. So I’ll just accept that this is how it is at this moment, that it is quite understandable really, given everything that is going on, or not going on for that matter, and that one thing at least IS for certain: THIS…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s blog is always blue, right? How about a last minute Christmas card using one of our fab Fresh Cut dies. The one with the pair of deer? There are two in this set. Really lovely: one with deer and one with doves. Peace man… Let’s do a little project and a last minute bloggy offer on the pair. How about half price?! Buy one get the other one free?! Found a scrap of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Good to have your company again. Just came out of the Live SHAC Shac, and am heading over to my parents with their Christmas Shopping. Bit early I know, but yesterday evening was the closest delivery slot to Christmas I could get. Blimey! We will have eaten it all by the 24th!!! I made a good start on it yesterday evening anyway; had to make room in the freezer!! Milk’s good for you, right?…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Are the days whizzing by, or is it just me? No sooner have I sung Rise & Shine!!! out of the bedroom window at 6am (the neighbours love me xxx), than it’s already dark again, and I’m knackered! Maybe it’s an age thing. Other than that, things are just peachy. The cats got the snip today. Ahhhhh. Yep, our two little ginger Vikings went on an expedition to Vetland, beyond the forest. The Vet…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today is a good day. Today is a Güd Day. Correction. Today is an excellent day. It started when I woke up. Had a lovely dream. That’s rare, so I relished it, and was glad to remember it. Slept well too. The kiln had cooled down enough to be able to open it. Perfect. Virgin Load 100% successful. Everything bisque fired beautifully. I mean, it’s only little pots n things, but hey. To make…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. How this week has flown! This time last week I was showcasing our lovely new About Town stampset. You know, the one we doodled together in the SHAC-Shack. In the set there are a carrot man and his dog, and a cat. See? These little figures clearly inspired clever Linda Spencer to create a wonderful kind of tribute to L.S. Lowry, that brilliant artist from the Industrial Northwest. Isn’t this brilliant? Lowry would have…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Delighted to tell you how brilliantly our Christmas Jumper Stamp Drive for Save the Children is going! One day in, and we, this little Clarity Community, have already raised a fantastic £1,951.42. Amazing!!!! Brilliant!!! And not finished till midnight Monday!! Blimey! Perhaps we’ll be able to send a cheque for over £2,000!! That’s epic, and that’s down to YOU. Even if you already have the stamps, you are buying them again, or you are…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy National Christmas Jumper Day! Did you know that this annual event started in 2012, and this particular National Day is dedicated to Save the Children. That’s right. It’s a Charity Drive to raise money for the Save the Children Fund. Paul was telling me that on one random Friday in December every year, people would go to work everywhere wearing Christmas Jumpers instead of suits, and then put at least a pound in…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been gutting my artroom today, clearing out, filing, putting back this year’s piles and piles of art and work and stamps and stuff, which I neglected to put away tidily as I went. It‘s not the way I roll. When I’m in the arty zone, chaos ensues. But it’s fine. Nothing that a couple of days won’t sort out. It’s quite thereapeutic, I have to say. No noise, no music, no radio, no nothing….
