Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge - Finished

     This is a beautiful purse on our site made by my mom. I chose this as a finished creation because it's one of my favorite things she has made for Jenny Lin Creations.

Day 15

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Rest.

With stitching, having a business, homeschooling 2 kids, and running a household, there is not a lot of rest. However when I do get the chance, I love to read. My current book is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's a big book, 850 pages, so it will take me awhile.

Day 14

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Vignette. 

Here is a vignette of what I'm working on at the moment, snowflakes. Yes, I know it's still summer, but I've been thinking of snowflakes, snowmen, stockings, and all things winter holidays.

Day 12

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Favorite.

     My most favorite creation is the first creation I designed. I had always cross stitched from patterns. My Halloween Trick-or-Treat bag is the first time I sketched out my own designs. I loved choosing the floss colors and stitching techniques. From there I was hooked. I still stitch from patterns or kits, but most things I stitch are designed by me.

Day 10

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Inspiration. 

Inspiration can come from anywhere, spending time with family, spending time out doors, going for a walk, or a quiet moment. For me, my inspiration comes from several places.....

Color. It's everywhere and you see it in everything. You can even put colors together to make new colors. Fabric. You can make almost anything. Floss. You can stitch with any color, on any fabric, anywhere.

 My family. My husband works full time and is a college student. His hard work and dedication inspire me. My kids dreamy ideas and their fresh look on the world inspire me. My mom is not only my business partner, but also my teacher. She inspires me to create, craft, and to make anything and everything.

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Branding.

 I love this image. You can find it on all of our sites and our business card. It's so colorful, fun, and elegant. It fits exactly what we do, sewing, needlecrafts, and knitting.

Create & Thrive's Month in the Life challenge, Packaging. 

Each of our creations are carefully packaged in tissue paper and wrapped like a present. They are then placed in a bubble wrap envelope or box depending on the creation. We want our customers to receive their order in a nice little package safe and secure.
