Recently Katie and I went to the Craft Gym (yes, can you believe this actually exists? Idea #483 that I wish I would have thought of.) Lotta Jandotter was there promoting her new book. Consequently, lots of crafty women, including me and Katie showed up to play with paint.
These are a few of the swatches we made with potato stamps. My mom used to make us potato stamps when I was little, and now they're how I decorate wrapping paper every Christmas.
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.
My name is Jess. You can follow my DIY diary at www.MakeAndDoGirl.com.
I really love creating things—ads, sweaters, quilts, stories, pies, slippers, forts, t-shirts, videos, dresses, web sites, book clubs, pictures, cupcakes, and often in the process of all this, messes. I like to make new friends too.
