this weekend

This weekend was pretty relaxing. Saturday, we went to the Eastern Market and had an amazing Nutella and Banana Crepe from one of the street stands. So yummy! Worth going back just for that! Then we had dinner at Rice with Tonilyn and her husband. Great company and the best Thai ever!

Today Paul played soccer, I worked on some custom artwork orders, did some packing and shipping, emailing etc.

It's chilly here so Paul and I are starting to get paranoid about the winter. Right now it's a high of 57 which is what we used to have on a very cold Florida Winter day. We know it's only going to get colder and it's stressing us out! I have the Winter Silks catalog and am picking out all the long underwear shirts to keep us warm. I think Toby might need a little doggie jacket too!

A linky shout out to Michelle who used the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints to paint her jeans. They came out amazing! Thanks for posting what you did with the paints Michelle!

claudine hellmuth studio line update

Thanks to Brenda Pinnick for using my new Claudine Hellmuth STUDIO products from Ranger on her blog. She did a great project showing how to use the Sticky Back Canvas to create moveable wall art! Check it out on her blog here!


I know so many of you are looking to find the paints! I have been getting tons of emails. Thank you so much for your patience! They are being shipped as we speak, I promise. You can check with your local craft stores to see if they will carry the line. If they aren't planning to carry it, maybe you can talk them into it ;)

The Somerset Studio Shoppe will carry the entire line (not online in their store yet) and Suze Weinberg is taking pre-orders from her store right NOW.

This is the list of the Michael's Craft stores that are carrying the Sticky Back Canvas as a test market. If it sells well at these stores they will bring it to others! Fingers crossed!
