A Mini Mixed Bag Of Me On TV
Hallo you. Just wanted to pop onto the blog and let you know that I am currently wending my way down to Peterborough for a couple of brief appearances on Create and Craft TV tomorrow.
Both shows will be on Create and Craft TV tomorrow, Sunday 18th February 2018.

- 3D Thursday – An Idea Hatches!
You can, of course, watch the shows live in the UK via Sky 674, Freeview 23, Virgin 748, Freesat 813, Apple TV & Amazon Fire. Some shows may also be shown live in the US via Dish 221 & Roku.
Other regions of the world may be able to watch and shop via the live stream on Create and Craft TV. Depends on where you are I guess.
Anyhoo, hope you can join me for one, or other, or both?
Bye for now.
