This past Wednesday was the Design*Sponge Craft Event and Book Signing in Charleston. I started following Design*Sponge when we lived in Savannah (thanks to Daniel), and it’s been so inspiring to see Grace Bonney take this blog from a hobby to a full-time career (and I have such admiration for the amount of original content produced). Needless to say, I had such a great time. The craft event was limited to 30 people, which kept a nice intimate setting. We made stamps using cardboard and self-adhesive craft foam (a project from the book). I opted for a fall-themed tote and made acorn and leaf stamps. I’ve primarily worked with freezer paper stencils for fabric printing, so the stamps were a nice change (and i definitely think I’ll make stamps for future projects). I also picked up a copy of Design*Sponge at Home. While I haven’t had time to really sit down and read, the parts I’ve read have been impressive. From sneak peeks to DIYs, this book covers it all.
