Dear patrons,

Thank you all so, so much for your support! We are incredibly grateful for your encouragement and camaraderie as we continue to develop and create more videos, podcasts, patterns, and more!


Our first goal was to fund a photography class for Jenny, so she can improve on her skills. Thanks to your patronage, we were able to fund her photography class in just a few days of starting our Patreon. Now, once she's completed her class, she will begin working on creating photo content for us to use on our website, facebook, instagram and more.

This short video (for patreons only) is a little behind the scenes of a homework assignment. Jenny was given the task to do a group selfie in the style of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard's "Self Portrait with Two Pupils" held at the Met Museum (metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436840).

Well you KNOW that we just jumped at the chance to actually recreate the portrait a bit more closely than the professor could have ever anticipated. ;)

We had a blast dressing ourselves and Jenny up for the day, and, as an added bonus, she got a perfect score on her assignment - hooray!

Again, thank you so very much for your support. We couldn't have done it without you!

- Lauren, Abby, Jenny and Chris
