Day 1: Make It Work!

Day 1: Make It Work!

Before we begin a project, we map out our ideas and try to establish a firm route in which we want to take. We say the word “try” because in the world of crafts and design, sometimes it never works out the way you expect it to! And in the end, you just have to “make it work”!

O how we love Tim Gunn!

Okay so let’s make this project work!

Our ideas are as:

1.       Put a little Hmong into our Christmas decorations (for the tree, for the home, etc)

2.       Create Hmong-Inspired gifts

3.       1+2 = DIY tutorials to share with the community!

Since the days to Christmas are decreasing ever so fast – we are limiting this project to 12 days of blog posts (the posts are subject to change!)!
