Look What I Found

Last week we received a shipment of magazines from Somerset Studios. They are always a treat and great reading and inspiration for a chilly winter day. You never know what you will find in the magazines.

This pillow on the cover of Home is made from French General fabric. When Kaari was here last fall you told us how she created her fabric lines and then let use it to create our projects. Kaari will be back this year with more classes and more fabulous fabric.

 

 

 On the inside of Home was a lovely article on this sweet drop cloth created by another Paper Crown favorite, Colette Copeland. It was such a fun surprise to see this.

 

I love that we are inspired and able to create with those both near and far!

 

 

This Week at Paper Crown- 1/18/16

I think I will make this a weekly Monday morning post so you either won't miss out on a class or event that week or will be reminded of what you have already committed to for the week.

We are working on a Documented Faith/ Planner night and hope to have that date for you next week so stay tuned. Stephanie drew a lot of ladies from out of town last summer and if any of you would like us to ship products, we are happy to do so just give us a ring.  Stephanie's stitching projects should be here soon so watch the blog.
