I'm all excited about the July 4th holiday this year! My Mom is coming up from Florida to visit with us and stay in our teeny apartment. She hasn't seen our DC place since we moved in last August and then it was just a pile of boxes. But without her it probably would still be a pile of boxes. With her help we unpacked and settled into this place in record time! I'm excited to show her around the neighborhood now that I know it better! I have a long list of things I can't wait to show her. We'll be having some friends over on the 4th and going up to the roof of our building to watch the fireworks. We can see the Capitol and the Monument from our roof so it should be a nice view and we'll miss the crowds! I hope everyone has a super holiday weekend!

Here's a video that is 100% sure to tug at your heartstrings. It's a photo slide show of all the precious lives saved by Bernie Berlin, of A Place to Bark animal rescue. Every-single-one of these animals wouldn't be alive if it weren't for Bernie. Watch this video and feel the impact of what she does! Bernie you're amazing!!! How you can help A Place to Bark Donate just $5 or $10 will help save another life and go toward helping A Place to Bark finish the much needed indoor shelter!Even though Bernie has money in her 6 degrees badge that money is already accounted for in vet bills. I can not stress enough how expensive rehabbing these animals is. I know just from myself with our pets how quickly we can burn through money. Now imagine that times 500 dogs + kitties per year. Just feeding them alone costs a fortune! Every little bit that you can donate will help!!! These animals wouldn't be alive if it weren't for A Place to Bark! Buy a stamp! 100% of select rubber stamp designs go towards A Place to Bark's Cat Shelter! Friend A Place to Bark on Twitter or Facebook to follow along with her adventures! Spread the word about the great work Bernie does! Post to your blogs, Facebook and Twitter! We need to help A Place to Bark finish the shelter! :: posted @ 9:33 PM by claudine hellmuth::  4 comments :: permalink Wednesday, June 24, 2009 linky shout out time!

Tomorrow I am headed over to the amazing Amy Powers' house for a day of embroidery with a bunch of fun gals! artwork/photo by Amy Powers of Inspire Co. I can hardly wait! I keep "saying" that I want to incorporate more needlework/sewing into my work and then I never actually get around to doing it -- maybe this will be just the push I need. We'll be making little sampler's like this one above. This photo is of Amy's work from her amazing blog. Check it out!

I actually have two pieces for this topic. This first one was the first idea that came to me: "they had no plans that day, they would just drift" While I was working on the first piece, I got the idea for this next one! I left the background with just line drawing (I was too tired out to finish the piece) and then I decided that I liked it that way! "Alice noticed that Bob's eyes kept drifting away from her face." It's been forever since I had time to create artwork for illustration friday! yay! glad to be back! Labels: illustration friday :: posted @ 9:02 PM by claudine hellmuth::  48 comments :: permalink
