While the cats away... the mice will play! I'm away at hobbycrafts at the nec birmingham. So becki is putting a couple of cat cards on the blog for me. I have a lot of the card samples with me but left a few behind which becki will put on over the next day or so ( until i get back ). I'm ...

As promised I'm putting some more flower samples on the blog tonight before spending a bit of time sorting my demo stuff ready for the Hobbycrafts show at the NEC. I've got a bright and early start on Wednesday as I have to be over at Farnborough at 7am for the drive to Birmingham.   I'll be demonstrating on The Art of Craft stand.  Jane ...

Chris, Anna and I have spent the day designing the latest scene-it set ready for the next Create and Craft show on the 31st March.  It's called 'In the Country' and we're all really pleased with it.  Anna and I both agree this is the frustrating bit for us - the ideas are flowing, we're in stamping mode and now we have to wait for the ...

What a beautiful day. It's lovely to look out over the garden and see the daffodils and cats sunning themselves.  As I'm not quite back to normal, after last weeks op, I don't even feel guilty that the grass needs mowing. I had an early, cold and frosty, start today as I helped my daughter Becki take some of her photographs ...

I've just finished sorting out all my crafting stuff which was still in a crate after the Brighton show.  I always pack methodically before I go to demonstrate but at the end of the day I put everything  back anywhere.   So it serves me right it took ages to sort out! I was demonstrating stamping at Brighton on The Art of Craft stand on Friday and ...

This is a short clip from the Seaside Scene-it dvd :-) I must confess that Becki put this clip on for me - didn't she do well?!   I think she was just a little pleased that she's worked out how to put the clip on judging by the little dance around the living room saying "I'm a genius" at the same time! Hope ...

I've been out and about quite a bit since the last Create and Craft show so have been able to play with the new sets a lot more. Sorry I didn't get around to telling you where I was going BEFORE I went!! I had a great day doing a stamping demo at a shop called In2crafting in Wickford, Essex. It was my first visit but ...

I intended to keep you up to date on what I was up to but, as usual, work got very busy!   I'll fill in the gaps when I blog again but  I want to show some of the cards using the latest clear sets which were on Create and Craft on Friday 28th January. The new stamp sets were only just ready in time for ...

Ok so it's a little later than intended but I'll put some sample cards on the blog tonight before I sign out.  As usual I thought I would have more time but last week rushed by.  After catching up on orders to various shops, preparing for upcoming classes, shows, demos and last, but not least, helping with all the new designs (out soon) it ...

Happy New Year. Where, oh where, did 2010 go?  The last time I blogged I was just off to Tuscany and the next moment Christmas was here.  Guess my New Year's resolution should be  to keep my blog up to date! I had a good Christmas with family and friends at home.  Chaotic, hectic, but  fun and enjoyable.  We're only just back to work after the ...
