Christmas Card Extravaganza
I haven’t been posting lately because my parents are in town visiting and I’ve been busy spending time with them. One of the activities my Mom and I did was to attend a Christmas Card Extravaganza at a local stamp and craft store. We made 16 cards, and got caught up on the current cardmaking {…Continue Reading}
Garage Progress – Concrete
Framing is all finished and the cement has been poured. We were home during the pour on one of my LTFT days and Arden was fascinated. We watched until one of the guys’ pants went waaaaay beyond plumber’s crack. I have to say in my experience, that plumber’s crack is an entirely earned title. Along with brickeys and siding guys… One {…Continue Reading}
A Jennuine Life has been Spotlighted!
It’s a Blog Party did a blog spotlight of A Jennuine Life: Blog Party Spotlight!~A Jennuine Life Daylight Savings Time, ugh!!! I hate changing our clocks, it is the final sign that winter is coming. It almost always follows the leaves changing colors and the first frost. And yes we have had these occur already {…Continue Reading}
Upside-down Daisy Knitted Hat
I finished my knitting project – “Upside-down Daisy” pattern found in Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson. It’s probably been about a year since I last knitted anything, so I was a little bit rusty. I’m not sure if I did something wonky or if it’s just that I was knitting in the round that {…Continue Reading}
Pumpkin Bread
 Nope, I didn’t mis-title the post - the cans are for the pumpkin bread! This recipe bakes right in metal coffee cans. My husband saved a bunch of the cans from all-nighters during early grad school thinking he’d hammer them flat and put them on a table for a “coffee table”. He’s got his own creative {…Continue Reading}
Felted Wool Bag
Crafter’s Anonymous Club is hosting a  Week of Felt Link Party, so here’s my little felted bag that I want to link up. I made this before I started blogging, and not terribly long after I began knitting. I had knitted an insanely complicated green wool sweater with seed stitch, ribbing, and cables. I turned out really {…Continue Reading}
Garage Progress – Framing
Day two of framing, and I think I’m in love! Okay, it’s a tad on the obnoxiously tall side, but we got the wall height variance and the neighbors had the opportunity to contest it at that point. C’est la vie, or so they say… Now I think we might need to do some exterior upgrades on {…Continue Reading}
Roadside Rescue
Garbage Picking, Dumpster Diving, D-Mart, Skip-raiding, Trashing, Curbside Salvage… Whatever you call it, I just did it! Thanks to your brave confessions I just mustered the courage to pull my car into some stranger’s driveway, inspect a find and then load it into my car. I feel a little bit of a shopper’s high, but without {…Continue Reading}
Halloween
Arden thoroughly enjoyed her first foray into the world of trick-or-treating. Aside from a mini-meltdown while donning her costume, she got right into the groove of things. We only went to a couple of neighbors and nearby friends houses, but she quickly figured out how to hold out her little pumpkin bag and then check {…Continue Reading}
