We Were Gifted

By this sweet lady. Becky of Heart In My Hand made us this adorable Steam Punk Doll. All of the little touches make this very special to us. Notice the business card she used on the body.

And how perfect is this charm?
It's just like our logo.
Thank you so much Becky. We love her!
You really should see her in person.

Touch of Class

Here's a class that we didn't get a chance to blog about. Patty started her first in a series of Heritage classes. The first class is an informational class complete with a printed reference book full of tips and pictures. Here are some of her students looking through just a few of the fabulous Heritage projects that Patty has completed.

If you missed this first class, no worries. Patty is repeating it again in July. Read the rave review given by one of her students, Lisa.

Photos are borrowed from Patty's blog. Thanks Patty!

Steam-Punk What ????

Main Entry:	steampunk
Part of Speech:	n
Definition:	a genre of science fiction set in Victorian times when steam was the main source of machine power; also written steam-punk.

We also think it means "anything goes". Here are a couple of samples of yesterday's Steam Punk Altered Dolls. Each one turned out so differently. Becky made so many choices available to them so each doll expressed the artists inner steam punk!

How can you not love the polka dots on this doll? Terry did a wonderful job!

We would like you to meet Leah. She created the first doll you saw. Leah drove all the way from Wyoming to spend a week with her sister and to also spend a week with us. Leah took almost every class we offered this week, and trust us there were plenty! She was quite the trooper. Her sister also got to join her for a couple of the classes. By the end of Friday nights class Leah was pretty punchy but she showed up like a trooper on Saturday and created a beautiful doll. Thanks for spending the week with us Leah, and have a safe drive home.

Just In Time For The Weekend

Whether you are going to stay inside or lay by the pool everyone needs good reading material right? Stampington sent their newest publications just in time. Let's start with Somerset Life. Some of our favorite people are in this issue. On page 82 is an article called "An Artistic Journey" by Kim Allistair Caldwell. Kim puts on fabulous crafting affairs that are over the top in every aspect. Our customers come back from California gushing about what a wonderful time they had and what a fantastic hostess Kim is! Definitely worth attending.

It's hard to tell in this picture (because we're looking at the top of their heads) but we're pretty sure we see Jessi, Colleen, Sherry, Kim C., and Kim H. I'm sure there are more of you that we know. Let us know who we left out.

The new Somerset Studio. We can't wait to go through this publication. It looks yummy!

This is a new publication called Stuffed. This has Lisa written all over it! Not that she's stuffed but she creates the cutest stuffed sock monkeys. She really needs to be published in this magazine.

Stop in and pick up your favorite issue and have a great weekend whatever you're doing!

We'll be open this Sunday from 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. We have a very special class going on.
