This past weekend I organized and hosted a DIY share day. The idea was to gather a few of my creative and industrious friends to share their amazing skills and cool project ideas (crafting, building, cooking, fixing things etc.) or, just try out something new. It's an idea I'd been mulling over all winter, and was waiting for the weather to finally accomodate a day of outdoor activities. Well, we got our warm weather at temps near 100! Friends Gab, Barrett, Scott and Elizabeth came over with various craft and cooking supplies and the fun ensued! Barrett and I lead batik and tiedying, Gab made grilled pizzas, Wilson demonstrated some quick and dirty bread baking and Elizabeth invented the cutest twig and paper floral arrangement. It was a blast! Hopefully this will be the first of many more DIY days! Check out our photos from DIY day as documented by Scott.
L to R: For fetching: a cotton produce and bulk dry goods bag with silkscreen by my pal and DIY project queen, Carrie Brown. As an alternative to those plastic bags in the produce aisle, look for any light, breathable fabric bag to throw into your grocery tote, or contact Carrie if you are interested in one of these cute sacks. For storing: Reuse food containers! I covered this oatmeal container with leftover scraps of paper. These containers are great to reuse for storing dry goods, but could use a unique label so you don't confuse your lentils with your popcorn. Plus, it looks great sitting on your counter.
