Happy Thanksgiving! 


We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! 

Bunnies, Puppies, and Bears, Oh My!

Corduroy Bunny

      My mom makes the cutest, most huggable one of a kind stuffed animals. I've been taking pictures of them and it got me and my kids thinking about stuffed animals. My kids have had many stuffed animals over the years, but they have a few favorites that they would never part with.

Corduroy Teddy Bear

       There's something about that memorable stuffed animal or toy that stays with you forever. I had several favorites. The one I remember the most is a puppy dog that looks a little like a Basset Hound. I got him as a gift when I was sick once. I still have have him somewhere, tucked away in a box. Talking to my kids about my favorite stuffed animal reminded me of him. It's so funny the things that make you remember the little things that you forgot.

     What was your favorite stuffed animal? Or did you have a special toy? Share your favorite childhood toy with your kids or that special someone. I'm sure it's a good story!

New Additions to the Shop

   I just wanted to give a little update on some new Halloween hoop art and a trick-or-treat bag just added to the shop. 

  I love the You look lovely hoop art. When I saw this piece of fabric I immediately thought the guy skeleton was telling the girl skeleton, "You look lovely". This is a one of a kind hoop. I won't be making another like it.

      The two little owls are so cute! They look ready to trick-or-treat. I can hear them saying Happy Hootoween!

     The trick-or-treat bag is a unique, one of a kind bag. All the Halloween decorations on the bag are hand stitched. It may be used year after year and makes a memorable keepsake.

      That's just a few of the new additions. I've been working on Christmas ideas. Right now I'm stitching 2, Let It Snow, snowman Christmas ornaments. These are restock items and will be in the shop next week! So back to stitching! 

     Until next time! Enjoy your weekend!

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!

     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.
