I just had to show you this. See more of Silvia’s work here.

Monday: Things crafters have made with Helen’s scrapbooking products.

This one is Jillian’s art with big chunky gems. It is so very fun to sit and glue gems on the art. It’s like paint by numbers. So calming. So satisfying.

Carolyn Gavin’s art with gems, gems, gems. They are flat-backed gems and also some plastic flowers. We happy.
This is Julia’s work station.

Monday: My awesome daughter sewed this bag.

I store fabric scraps in these.

Friday: Carolyn’s new fabric for P&B Textiles and some more sewing projects.

Belize is a gorgeous, low-key, tiny country situated east of Guatemala and the southern part of Mexico. Languages are predominately English with Spanish and Creole. For 2 weeks we rented a small cabana on the beach. We swam, rode our bikes, read, lazed in hammocks and soaked up as much sun as possible. We ate fresh fish just about everyday, played games, went for walks and observed nature in all its glory… green, pink, orange, blue, such bright hues surrounding us. It was a real rest and break from the busyness of our lives… absolute rejuvenation of the mind and creative spirit… to last a long time!

“Hi, Lilla! I’m so excited to announce that my art will be featured in Ty Pennington’s magazine. My eyes nearly popped out when I saw the image with him holding my art! The stylist working on the shoot said that Ty loved my work, but I thought she was just being nice but now I know better, he he.

The magazine will be available on December 8th, and also be sure to check out my Etsy shop.

Thanks,
Jenn”

“Hi Lilla!
Not sure if you remember me, I used to work at weider/shape a long time ago. I stopped working at magazines when I had kids and now squeeze in my designing while making bento lunches for my kids. Anyway, i love your illustrators and am so inspired by them I did a tribute to Suzy Ultman for my kids lunch… just thought I’d share. Love love love the stuff you guys are doing and hope you’re well…”

Friday: Guest Blogger: Sarajo Frieden: 100 € Show, An international exhibition of illustrators’ Drawings

Jillian writes:

“Hi Lilla, just back from a week in my favorite city, Tokyo! It’s always so inspirational for me to be in this fantastic city. You’re surrounded by wonderful illustrations, and the stationary shopping really is out of this world. It all gets a bit intense, so it’s best to break up the day by having a rest in a pretty cafe and getting some great food, or visiting one of the parks (Yoyogi or Ueno). Hope you enjoy the photos! I can’t wait to go back next year.”

Monday: Allison’s new work for Print-on-demand Keds sneakers! Seriously.
