Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a busy GRAY SALE weekend it has been! I’ve been cracking up reading all the comments you have been posting, about beans on toast till Christmas. Somebody is opening up a help group for those of you who are willing to admit you are powerless over Groovi. Somebody else suggested we open up another area on the new website where we should sell baked beans, bread, milk and teabags, so you can order…
Hi there! How has your day been? Mine is still going strong! I am up to my elbows in paint, and having a fine old time! 4 hours later: It all started with a brand new Polka Dot Stencil, which Jim designed and presented me with this evening on the way out of the door at 6. “There’s 24 spots!” he said, “brilliant for an advent calendar”. True. I will leave that one with you …. So this is it,…

Happy Bank Holiday Monday! The suns shining in through the window, the bluebells are a-ringing in the woods, but I just wanted to share a quick step-by step with you from yesterday’s TV show. It’s using the new Shepherd’s Purse stamps, which Mandy drew for us. They are so lovely to use! Weed or flower? Apparently it’s a weed, but one man’s weed is another man’s flower. Cut a 7″ x 7″ piece of Gelli Card back to 6″ x 6″…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in this Sunday. Have been really looking forward to getting back up here in my little art den, and doing something. Anything! Isn’t it amazing how being creative, getting with your hands becomes such a part of you? I have missed my daily art fix! I invested in a very VERY expensive pair of scissors whilst in Germany too, so I want to try them out… I had a really brilliant cheap little pair for about…
Hi there. So glad you dropped in. I have had such a good afternoon. Saturday’s blog a new technique, right? Well, I had decided that today was the day. Today was the day I got my old Pfaff sewing machine out, after at least a decade, and added a few stitches and strands to my artwork. What do you think? Since Karen Hayselden has been on the Design Team, I have become very aware of how safe my art still…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What’s today? Ah yes, Wednesday… Wednesday’s Blog is something new, so here are some delightful new Style Stencils we launched recently. They are very retro, very chic, What’s really cool, too, is that you get both the inny and the outy, the positive and the negative. There is also an excellent set of Stamping accessories, which work brilliantly to jazz up the stencil girls. But let’s get to grips with a new technique too……
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for stopping by! How are y’all? Yes, as you may well be aware, we are on our way to sunny LA for the World premier of Claritystamps in the States. Whoever would have thought that this little English company that is Claritystamp would be headlining a TV launch in the States? When? Where? I will tell you everything I know on Friday, when we’re there. In the meantime, let’s get grounded and do a project….
Happy Sunday. TV in the morning, then lunch with Mum and Dad. Slow drive home in the fog, and now a little chat to my Blogfriends before a film and a log fire with Dave. I hope you enjoyed the show this morning. My God! Those Wee Folk didn’t hang about for long! I can’t remember a show when a stampset shot out of the door before we even had time to complete the product walk down the counter! If…
