I’m super excited today as I have had confirmation from Stamford Arts centre that I can use one of their rooms for my planned Creative Scene Stamping workshops!
If you’re interested then read on my friends!

How To Extract A Zipped File Folder
I get asked a lot about how to extract a compressed (zipped) file folder so I thought that I’d pop a quick video together for those in need.

Portfolio Archive – Black And White Portrait Photography
Over recent weeks I have had a number of positive comments about my photographs on Facebook. People have been impressed and have suggested that I should do it as a career. What a nice thing to say :)
It may (or indeed may not surprise you) that I actually did study photography, albeit in a small context, as part of an Art and Design Diploma that I completed back in 1990/91.
Photography has changed so much since I then so I thought that it might be an idea if I shared some of my attempts with you from the past and present.
This first post looks at the past.
Craft, Inspiration And Information On Demand – Past, Present and Future.Â
Having been involved in producing recorded and live TV shows, aswell as online media, about arts and crafts for over twelve years it’s interesting to see how the media sector is developing in relation to my/our favourite pastime.
There have been a few mainstream TV shows that have ‘made it’ into the psyche of the general public, think Sewing Bee, The Joy Of Painting and Watercolour Challenge, however for the dedicated creatives, what is changing now that media is becoming so accessible?Read More »

Helloooo! I’m so sorry that I’ve been neglecting things around this neck of the woods in recent times however I have got a bit of time on my hands this week so I thought that I’d swing by and catch up on a few things.
Grab a cup of tea and I’ll begin the waffle …
Artist Trading Card Daily – 77
Ok, so I remembered to do this post. This is a good thing when you consider that just lately my brain appears to be melting away.
I’ll wander from one room to another and think, “now, what did I come in here for?” and then I’ll remember several hours later.Read More »
Artist Trading Card Daily – 63

Christmas Sign Off
Well, I’ve just wrapped up on my last live TV show before Christmas, the tree is finally complete and I’m just about ready for the big day so I thought that it would be an opportune moment to pop a quick post on here before heading away from the internet for a few days.
My First Christmas Tree
This may seem odd but I have never actually owned a Christmas tree before this year or had one in my house over the holiday period as I rarely have people over – it’s just been easier for me to visit everyone else.
This year though I wanted to bring Christmas home, and also bring the homemade into Christmas.
Exclusive Interview With KT Yun, Glass Artist
Never have I been more excited than when I was put in touch with glass blowing artist, KT Yun. This chance opportunity led to an exclusive interview just for my little old blog :)
KT Yun is one of the talented craftspeople who has created the beautiful pieces of artwork in the new print advertising campaign for KETTLE® Chips which celebrates the care and attention taken to create the nation’s favourite hand cooked crisps.
KT is originally from the Scottish Highlands near Loch Ness and studied a National Diploma in Design in Carlisle before eventually relocating to the South of England to study Glass Art at UCA Farnham. KT now lives and works on the Somerset/Wiltshire border where she runs a glass studio and also creates products for other glass artists to use.
Following my initial gushy silliness at talking to such an accomplished glass artist I actually got around to nervously asking KT some questions.
