Whew — it’s been busy at the Benner household! 🏠 🛠 Studio Update The studio makeover is moving slow — but we’re getting there! We’re grinding off 2 coats of Drylok + 5 layers of old paint. We have to get all the way down to concrete so we can patch the lower walls. Goal: fix every single hole so the water problem never comes back. We can only work 2–3 hours in the evenings — the grinder is tough on Jeff’s shoulders. 🎯 We hope to be done by mid-October (my birthday!). Thank you for being so...

Here’s your weekly recap! Starting this week, I’ll send recaps on Mondays instead of Saturdays. Why? Saturdays are super busy here—family, home stuff, life chaos. You know how it goes. 😉 🚨 Quick Update: Basement Trouble If I haven’t said it yet (or maybe I did?), two weeks ago I went with my husband on his work trip to Ohio. While we were gone, our area had flash flooding. 😩 And yes—our basement flooded. That’s where my studio is. Some of you know I had some 8x10 rugs down there, plus lots of...
