China + Jess = Dynamic Crafting Duo

One of the perks of working right next to the largest Chinatown on the west coast is that I have access to lots of weird cheap stuff, like dollies and dominoes and farting pig keychains. I found these napkins in the basement of a Chinatown store, and since the difficult lacy part was already done (thank you, machine in China), I decided to add my own embroidery flair (thank you, Mom who was alive in the 60's to learn this kind of thing.)

Delicious Domestic Bliss

Two of my good friends are getting married (to each other--yay!) soon. They're a great match: the guy really loves to bake, and the girl really loves to eat, so I made them some aprons as a wedding gift.
