Today I’m over at Growing Up Gabel sharing this quick and easy handmade coloring book I made for Arden. She loves to color the “girlies” I draw for her, and this was an easy way to make a whole bunch at once. I think you could do this to make personalized grocery lists, memo pads, {…Continue Reading}
I’m guest posting today at Life is a Trip Worth Taking sharing my favorite DIY/Crafting tool. And surprise – it’s not my sewing machines!
I am so excited about this project! My husband noticed how much I had to bend over to cut on the dining room cutting table. It really put a kink in my back, especially when I’ve got lots of orders for my shop and I’m working every evening. This table was Dave’s grandparents from their {…Continue Reading}
Did you see the results of the final round of Season 7 of One Month To Win It? I knew as soon as I saw Rhonda from home.made‘s grain sack painted dresser I knew my little project didn’t stand a chance: And Jessica from Sunny Tuesday (who claims to not “do” furniture) made her own ribbon storage station {…Continue Reading}
Whew! It’s been over two weeks since my last post. I guess I’ve been a bit busy with these two cuties… And I’ve been knitting every chance I get to finish the fair isle sweater for Arden that I started to match Hadley’s 3-6 month one that she’s threatening to outgrow any day… Then my {…Continue Reading}

This is still one of the best projects I’ve made. Arden uses it nearly every day and it’s held up really well. She mostly takes the magnets off the front, but she plays with the food on the shelves inside more than the play stove that I made it to go with. If I need {…Continue Reading}
As part of my Blogiversary week, I’m re-posting some of my early blog posts, but trying to go back and fix things up a bit. Here goes: One of the main features of Arden’s nursery is a peg rail going around the room. The idea was a bit of a collaboration between my mother and {…Continue Reading}
Today is the 1st Blogiversary of A Jennuine Life. Where has the time gone? I thought I’d take this week to re-share my first post and some of my early projects, but edit the photos better and update any changes that have occurred. Sort of a best of (or worst – since I was still {…Continue Reading}
The nursery for Baby #2 is pretty small, and on top of that, needs to house the futon as guest accomodation. Due to these constraints, the big apholstered rocker we got for Arden’s room won’t fit. Enter Craig’s list: a quirky rocker with a much smaller profile for $15. It’s got some gouges and one of {…Continue Reading}
