It’s here! I’m so excited to see what fabulous projects you have to share! This is my most recent upcycle project – Felted Wool Coffee Cozies – a super quick and easy project that hopefully eased the loss of a cherished sweater of my husbands that I shrunk – woops! Plenty of you are taking {…Continue Reading}
This is a quick upcycle project with a sort of long story. Dave has had this fuzzy wool sweater that he’d had since college. It was large to begin with and then got stretched out. Add on Dave’s recent weight loss and it was a big billowy mess on him. You get where this is {…Continue Reading}
Since I had surgery on my foot on the Friday before Christmas, we pretty much stayed home for the holidays. Firstly, I wanted to share the faces I put on Clementine and Rose, the Black Apple dolls I made for the girls. I decided to go with embroidery and to have the eyes closed since Arden is {…Continue Reading}
I love seeing these posts by other bloggers and it’s fun to review what posts were popular at A Jennuine Life for 2012. Ironically, many of these weren’t written in 2012 – I’m not sure if that means I’m off my game this year, or if I should be happy my older posts have such staying {…Continue Reading}
Here’s a quick and easy one I’ve been meaning to add for some time. Well, maybe not as quick and easy as it should’ve been. The directions at LinkWithin are very easy and so I followed along and… nothing. I sent an e-mail for support, but perhaps the folks at LinkWithin are spending the holidays {…Continue Reading}
Hoo! This one was time consuming and a little frustrating, but in the end TOTALLY worth the time investment. My brain is all frazzled with html!! Again, heading to Pinterest where I have a board designated for blog managment, I chose a great tutorial by Laura’s Crafty Life for creating an image gallery. She gives full {…Continue Reading}
Continuing with my theme of trying to make the most of my enforced couch time, I’ve been wanting to add a signature to my posts for a while. It was so super easy! You can use Photoshop or Gimp, but I went with the easiest route for me and used Picmonkey. Edit a picture (just {…Continue Reading}
I’ve been trying to be a good patient and spend lots of time on the sofa with my foot elevated and iced. This lends itself to blog maintenance more than producing things to blog about, so I took the opportunity to continue trying to spiff up the old blog. I searched Pinterest for “free {…Continue Reading}
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I might pop in if I finish any more projects (Clementine and Rose have faces now) before the new year, and don’t forget I’ll be starting Thrifty to Nifty Thursdays on January 3rd.
I shared the Black Apple doll I made for Hadley with you the other day. I decided to call her Clementine because of her orange hair. It seems like a good name for her. We’ll call Arden’s pink haired dollie Rose. Since Arden is nearly four, her doll gets a few additional details like ric {…Continue Reading}
