My biography and some quick notes are posted over at One Month To Win It. Here’s a bit about me! 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 {…Continue Reading}
I made my first pair of shoes today! I used a pattern from Amy at Naptime Crafter’s Etsy store; Peekaboo Pattern Shop. I won a giveway on Fingerprints on the Fridge a while ago and I had chosen as one of my prizes the Pleated Mary Jane shoe pattern. Amy and I were both participants on Project {…Continue Reading}
I did it! I finally finished the second fair isle sweater for big sister Arden. Here it is with the smaller version I made for Hadley. I made this one size larger than the pattern was written, which involved a lot of figuring, so I’m really happy with how it turned out. Don’tcha just love the {…Continue Reading}
We crate our dogs, Laser and Sophie, at night and Sophie’s bed has gone from bad to horrible. In my opinion, dog beds for large breeds usually fall into one of two categories – 1. cheaply made, or 2. incredibly expensive, So when Dave said he was going to get a new bed for Sophie, {…Continue Reading}
While waiting for more yarn to arrive to finish the last three rows on the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, I finished up a cute little flower hat for Hadley. It’s the same pattern to coordinate with the one I made in purple for Arden last fall. It’s from Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. {…Continue Reading}

Aaagh! I’m literally within 3 rows of completing the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, and I’ve run out of yarn! All the pieces are there and ready to go as soon as I finish the button band, but I need like 4 feet of the main color yarn. What a pain! Luckily, I {…Continue Reading}
This was a BB (Before Blogging) project that I’ve been meaning to post about for some time, because I think it truly is a too cool t-shirt quilt. Most t-shirt quilts I’ve seen are 1. cut a uniform size, regardless of the design on the shirt, 2. backed with stiff interfacing, and 3. have sashing {…Continue Reading}
So, if you’ve read any of my posts lately, you know I’ve got a new cutie in my life. I thought I’d give you a little glimpse into what my world looks like on a daily basis right now… I spend 80% of my time on the living room sofa. It’s littered with the paraphanalia of {…Continue Reading}
Just couldn’t resist posting this picture of my littlest cutie snoozing this afternoon. I’m making good progress on the fair isle sweater, so hopefully will have a finished sweater to share soon! I’m working on the fair isle part, which is the most fun.
