Hello! My name is Jenn and I blog at A Jennuine Life. I’ve been crafting and creating as long as I can remember. My Mom taught me how to sew when I was little and we created a whole bedding ensemble for my cabbage patch doll Krissy Lynn. My Dad is a retired home builder and I used to build things at the job sites with scrap wood when I was young. I was one of the only girls in shop and woodworking class in junior high, but I learned how to use all the tools and I can wire a mean lamp! Now that I’m all grown up, I love to sew and knit for my daughters Arden – almost three, and Hadley – two months; as well as an occasional DIY project for our home.
1. How did you start crafting?
I started crafting as a child – my Mom is very creative and taught me to sew, cross-stitch crochet, and craft. I’m a bit of an indecisive crafter as I enjoy all kinds of mediums – knitting, quilting, sewing, and DIY projects.
2. What’s your favorite style? (steampunk, modern, shabby, etc.)
That’s a tough one – I guess I’d say I’m drawn to timeless styles, but I like to follow trends in an understated fashion.
3. Besides crafting, what are your other hobbies?
My husband has said he was first attracted to me because I was a kickboxing runner that sewed and knitted. Just like different types of crafts, I enjoy all sorts of activities. I do enjoy running and am looking forward to getting back into a routine after the birth of my second daughter. I also like to bike, travel, and backpack; and always have a good book on my bedside table.
I’ve been busy getting things around for Christmas, but have been doing a little knitting and sewing along the way. I’ll share a quick knit earwarmer project as soon as I can get some decent pictures. It’s been very grey around here lately – gotta love Michigan!
