Do you love Crafts and other things DIY?
Good. Then you’ve come to the right place. Kim & Ink started this website because crafting is part of our DNA.
The first DIYing I did was papering my room in blue and white when I was in high school. A few years later I purchased a beautiful voile print and matching solid polyester, then designed and sewed a bed skirt and curtains and quilted the bedspread and pillow shams. It was beautiful, although I have no idea if it was the latest style. We only had the department store’s catalog for our style guide in those days!
But this isn’t a blog post. So, read the posts in this category to discover the evolution of Kim & Ink and the Crafts and DIYs we can’t help but share.
