Fall

Festive Fall Hand Knit Socks

     Today is the first full day of Fall. I love this time of year. The leaves change colors, Halloween decorations go up. Color is everywhere before our eyes. Fall signals the beginning of the busy months and cooler weather. Already I can feel a little chill in the air and know it's time to bring out cozy socks and afghans for those chilly nights. It's time to think of Halloween costumes and decorations. There are so many Fall festivities too. Craft fairs, school fairs, harvest festivals, and much more. Fall is a fantastic, busy time of year!

     My mom and I have been busy crafting and creating wonderful creations for Jenny Lin Creations. I have been working on some Halloween theme hoop art and a trick-or-treat bag. I hope to have them up within the next week or so. We have also been thinking about Christmas and have a few ideas that we look forward to sharing with you over the next few months. I can only give you a small hint. If you loved the stuffed teddy bears wait until you see the cute, cuddly creations my mom has made. 

                                      

Work in progress! 

     I am definitely looking forward to the next few months and sharing some fun and exciting new creations with everyone. I'm looking forward to the upcoming seasons and sharing them with family and friends. My two youngest children will be 12 and 14 this Halloween, so most likely the last Halloween they trick-or-treat. I look forward to enjoying it with them and taking in all the sites and sounds of the season!

     Thanks for visiting!

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. 

Upcoming Challenges

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. 

Upcoming Challenges

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.

 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.
