In the last post, I discussed how the addition of 2 key tools can make a huge difference in the results you see when making rubbings with Paintstiks. Today, I have two more tips for making rubbings. A little history… When I began working with paintstiks, I always used the end of the paintstik for […]
Better tools, better rubbings (part 1)
I must have seen one of the pizza commercials lately – I hate when that stuff sticks in my head! But, it gave me an idea for discussing a common problem, so I won’t complain. So what does pizza have to do with paintstiks? Well… The most common question I hear is “how can I […]
Get Snap Happy!
We featured a couple of lovely Snap Happy bags in our ad for the Quilting Arts Gifts issue. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the correct e-mail address for Rosemary at Stitchin’ Sisters. Please write to Rosemary Wissink at stitchinsis@aol.com to order Snap Happy patterns for yourself or your shop. These are great little pouches that snap […]
Patterns, Mini Assortments now shipping!
Oh, my! We’re getting tons of inquiries about the new Mini Assortments and the Bosa Nova Bags pattern, so here’s the latest news. The Mini Assortments arrived early last week and have been shipped to our retailers and distributors. The Bosa Nova Bags patterns arrived at the end of the day on Thursday. We started […]
Wrap your gifts in style with Bosa Nova Bags
Looking for a better way to wrap a gift? Read on! I decided to ban wrapping paper from my house a few years ago. Why buy expensive paper only to have it ripped up and thrown away after just one use? And why store the stuff when your family has declared a moratorium on gifts […]
New Mini Medleys
I just love having new products to announce! Our paintstik minis have been so popular that I worked with my paint company to put two special assortments together for you! It always seems like forever when I’m waiting for new products to come in the door, but I’ve been told that these are truly “on […]
A visit to Checker Distributors
I haven’t done much traveling for a while due to health issues (which are much better now, thank you!). And frankly, air travel just isn’t much fun any more. So when I have the opportunity to take care of 2 big events in one trip, I’m a pretty happy camper. The last week of August, […]
Made in Minnesota
I know it’s been ages since I posted anything to the blog. We’ve been totally busy here at the office. Lots of things happening here, including moving the business to a new location in the booming metropolis of Miltona. It’s a tiny town in the middle of Minnesota, but the office is only 5 miles […]
Fun with Felting
Several years ago, I was invited to join a postcard exchange. To my good fortune, the group was the original art2mail exchange group and I have been blessed to be a part of this group for 3 years. This is a fascinating group of women from the around the world. I’ve met most of them […]
Sassy Stripes
I just got a few lovely photos from Mary Brandt, my trusy trade-show companion and special projects go-to gal. Mary loves to play with the paintstiks and try out new things, especially when she has a new pattern to work with. Mary got a copy of the Sassy Bag pattern from Lazy Girl Designs and […]
Just a little bit country…
Hey there, paintstik fans. We had a lot of requests for some warmer colors in the minis, especially Barn Red. We hear you! A new set of colors has just come in from the factory. It’s called American Country and contains Barn Red, Yellow Ochre and Olive Green. Here is a little sample I put […]
It looks good on TV…
Welcome to the CCT Blog. It’s a challenge to keep up with the changes on the internet, but I decided it’s time to stick my toe into blog-land. For my first post, I thought I would take you along for a backstage pass. At the end of January, I made another trip to Cleveland, Ohio […]
