Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Colleen Weikel and my husband, Roger, and I have the WhatsInGrampasShack shop at Etsy. I paint on canvas, claybord, slate and wood and occasionally a vintage item. Roger cuts, sands, routers and stains the wooden anchors and boat paddles for me to paint. He also gets the slate ready for me to paint on.
I'm also starting to do some leather tooling. I have a lot to learn, but I'm having fun with it. I don't have any leather in GrampasShack as I'm thinking about putting it in my other shop, WhatsInGramasDrawers, but haven't decided yet. That shop was for jewlery, but the competition is so great that I've given up on jewlery. At least for now.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Have to get back to work. Nice meeting you all.

Thanks! We do love making things. I'm hoping our new items bring in some business!

I've been MIA a little, too. I'm getting ready for a craft show on the 10th and hubby has had 2 torn rotator cuffs and back problems. We just got back from the pain specialist. He got shots in his back to find out whether burning off the nerve endings will eliminate some of the pain. I guess we'll see.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks, I'm painting like crazy right now. I have some leather ready to go, but need to get some slate, wood and gourds painted asap!
Hubby's been hesitating to do anything about it, but now it's gotten so bad that he has no choice. So now he's scheduling surgery (orthoscopic) for his right shoulder and we'll find out soon about the back. The shots, which were just novacaine or something like it, really worked. So I imagine that in a few months he's going to feel like a new person. Hope so anyway.
