There were a couple of unscathed pockets left in what remained of Dave’s cargo shorts, AND I couldn’t just send my nephew Alex a nifty vest for his rock collecting tendencies – he needed a little bag in case his pockets overflowed! This time, I didn’t bother with picking the pocets off, I just hacked a rectangle {…Continue Reading}
Having two little girls, it’s kinda nice that I have only nephews to be able to satisfy my more masculine crafting ideas. Well, Dave keeps hinting that I never make him anything, so maybe I should tackle that soon! Anyways, my nephew Alex is turning four in a little over a week and I’ve been {…Continue Reading}
I squinted my eyes shut and hit submit – I entered a project for consideration for two open spots in the next season of Project Run & Play. There’s just one or two eensie little concerns: The project needed to be something you’ve created since October. I’ve been working so much on Jennuine Design shop orders that {…Continue Reading}
Don’cha just love a cozy sweater dress? How ’bout a cheap and easy sweater dress? I picked up this perfectly nice Izod cotton argyle sweater at a local thrift store for $2.50. I was hunting wool sweaters to felt and this caught my eye. It was an XL, and it looked just “eh” on me; a little short {…Continue Reading}

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}
Here’s the Party Skirt I made for Arden in place of her version of the Party Dress I made for Hadley. I had grand intentions of trying to make a full dress, but I just couldn’t figure a way to make a bodice with the fabric I had – not even if I lined it {…Continue Reading}
Yay! I made it! I easily completed my daily hour assignment for participating in Kids Clothes Week Challenge. Today I was able to get these pants inspired by the Mini Boden heart patch trousers drafted, cut and almost complete. I still need to insert the elastic and the twill tape into the waistband and hem {…Continue Reading}
I gave a little hint yesterday about what I was planning to work on today. I pulled a couple of pages out of the latest Mini Boden catalog and showed them to Arden. She wholehartedly approved this “fluttery” tee with butterfly appliques all over it. Pardon the grainy and harsh photos – picture taking at 10 pm does not {…Continue Reading}
