Greetings!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a beautiful summer 🌞.  It's been sunny and warm during the day most of the past couple of weeks here with a bit of rain here and there at night.  Things have been a tad busy lately with the fur children, my container garden on the back porch, graduate school, work, and selling crafts, but I plan to blog a bit more frequently on here or on my other blogs, Solo Culinary Adventures (cooking and eating) and My Best Friend's a Worm (gardening).  Comment below with any topics you'd like to see on any of the blogs!

The latest news from Jennifer's Craftiworks is that you can now find my shop at www.jenniferscraftiworks.com !  Currently the address will redirect you to my shop on Etsy, but one of these days I'll build a stand alone website for your online shopping pleasure.  Until the, just use the new address for a direct route or use the Etsy gadget on this page.

You can also follow me on Instagram (@jenniferscraftiworks) or subscribe to this blog to keep up with the latest goings on. I'll try to keep the blog posts coming as I continue to work on fun new crayon shape packages, greeting cards, and more, but you're more likely to see activity on Instagram.  I decided to post a photo a day for a #366happydaysof2016 collection so you can see a little sample of the finer things in life (family, friends, fur family and fur friends, tasty drinks and foods, new items, my little garden, etc) at least once a day. On particularly nice picture days, you might even see a bonus photo of a new project or hilarious Topper/Nellie moment.

That's all for now, now I'm off to make room for the new sewing machine (a heavy duty Singer 4432) arriving tomorrow. It had good reviews and was on a special price the other day so I went for it. I plan to start sewing again soon so I can make my own curtains, shopping bags, craft packaging, etc. Maybe I'll even share that adventure with you as I figure out how to use the new machine without sewing my fingers together (😱) and start making things. I'm particularly excited to try my hand at curtains because my windows are in great need of something pretty and the ones in the stores just aren't doing it for me.

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to leave a comment! Thanks for visiting.
