Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s all go here! Paul and I are gearing up for the Clarity Retreats which start on Monday. So much do do and so little time left! But it’ll all be alright on the night! We’ve got some smashing projects lined up for our guests – a really good mix. All set for a splendid week of crafty art and fun. Speaking of projects, here’s a simple Fresh Cut Die one which I did…
Howdi! Greetings from The Lone Cypress in California! (I wish!) We used to live really close to this beauty spot, in Carmel. I loved it there. But there we are, life happens, and we had to come back to Europe. I LOVED living in Northern California! Who wouldn’t?! Blue skies, the Pacific Ocean, pelicans, sea lions. Flipflops and cut-off jeans were all I wore; proper hippy chick! So here is a little trip down Memory Lane, using one of a…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Advent Day number 17 and Blue Blog Thursday all in one… Well, yesterday’s blog with the car and snow could have worked well for today, so you can always pop back to the snowdrift if you missed it. I think I would like to show you a Gelli Plate step by step I prepped for the TV last time, but then decided it would take too long to attempt on Live Telly! I used…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by here on Advent Day No. 8. I am hoping that you don’t mind my not doing Christmas for 24 straight blogs; I don’t think I could take it!

Remountable Owl Stamp I want to show you a simple inking trick too… So here’s a cool step by step,…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by today. It’s CLARITY YOU TUBE TUESDAY! You may recall (I will never forget) that last week, we launched You Tube Tuesday. There was some hilarity and a mild meltdown, whilst I struggled to get revved up, but I would say that this week is much improved! Amazing what a couple of new cameras and personal focus can do! The video is longer, too. We decided to keep it in real time, and not speed…

Hello there! Thank you for dropping in on this Monday. Monday’s Blog is Trees and flowers, so here’s one I did last night, after a lovely afternoon with Dave and my parents & bro. I have used the Trees & their Mantels, which was a lesson kit on TV last year. I had forgotten how fabulous this kit is! It is a remountable set of 4 naked trees and their leafy mantles, plus a long grassy base stamp, too. If…
