We had a great time at our first Sundowner event with the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce! Marshall Weinreb, the new President and CEO of the Encinitas Chamber gave a heart felt talk and we were thrilled with the response we got, after donating a bag for the monthly raffle! Get your very own today! Better yet sign up for one of our classes and leave with a custom bag that you’ve designed & painted yourself.

Our bags are really getting noticed! Even Maggie Houlihan, Mayor of Encinitas, has one! Nancy painted this awesome 92024 zip code bag and presented it to Maggie on Tuesday. The Mayor said it was the one that caught her eye! We were so thrilled! You too can get a custom 92024 bag, just call us today!

Aw aren’t these pups the cutest! Hand crafted for a 70th birthday celebration. These postcards are just the sweetest way to say hello to a friend or tell someone you love them… and their dog. If you love these cute puppy cards too, you can learn how to make them by taking a screen printing workshop with I Love Making Stuff.
We will adding these to a line of products that we will feature at the Taste and Art Stroll in Del Mar, in October. Stop by and see us there!

Okay, so I start off the weekend with really bad news actually 2 really bad things that would normally make me want to crawl under a rock. But the Renegade Fair in Los Angeles was on this weekend and I had the great good fortune to go! What a treat. I have to say I have never been so inspired. The crafters and artists were so nice and the quality of the work was outstanding. And the pricing really fair. Really! I am in the middle of a redecorating project in the house so I had an excuse to buy several things to hang. I had to control myself. It’s in San Fransisco next weekend. If you can… go! I can’t wait until next year.

Here is just a sampling of some of the great things we made in our screen printing workshop. The students got two colors done in one class, which is pretty awesome. These posters would look great in any room!

As you could probably already tell….WE ARE IN LOVE WITH OUR NEW SCREEN PRINTING TECHNIQUE! Here is something we did in the studio recently. Isn’t it lovely. Wouldn’t you love to have this in your home. We will be selling these and other one of a kind screen prints at Del Mar’s upcoming Taste and Art Stroll in October.

We are so so so excited about our new series of workshops….PRINTING!
The first of this series will focus on Screen Printing, a combo of decorative, painting, pop-art, and graffiti.
The class will be held on July 5th, 11am-3pm. To find out more or to sign up visit ilovemakingstuff.com!

We really love type and we really love circles, so this just came naturally! How awesome is this bag! We have many mesh bags that are still blank so if you are interested in having a letter added, let us know!

These hand painted shoulder bags display universal design elements. The circle’s classical themes of infinity and perfection elevate the re-purposed materials. Made from outdoor advertising banners, which I have up-cycled into utilitarian art. One of these bags can be seen at the Encinitas Library Environment Day Exhibit and they are for sale. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing one and let us know if you would like a custom design for a gift! We’d be happy to create a fabulous one for you!
