About Me

My name is Tess, and I have a business called Made by Tess . It's stuff. Made by me. Anyway, enough fooling around, go check it out! I make fabulous bags, bitchin' kitchen aprons, pincushions and much much more! You may also want to add me on Flickr or check out my Blog

My Interests

Crafts: knitting, crocheting, sewing, gluing, screen printing--you name it, I like it!! I enjoy shopping, watching my hummingbirds, going to the beach, futzing over my kitty babies and designing one of a kind hand bags.

Music:

Movies:

My theory is that films have a responsibility to suspend reality for a moment, and suck you into to plot. Any movie that can do that is worth watching in my book. I tend to like dark comedies, and offbeat humor. I very much enjoy stylized violence (Kill Bill, Fight club), and gangster flicks, especially ones with accents (Snatch, etc..). I could go on for hours.

Television:

Sopranos and Big Love.

Books:

Drop City. Does it count if it's on tape??

Heroes:

Mary Quant.
