Welcome to my craft project journal. I tend to mentally reverse-engineer everything I see, and it often manifests itself into ambitious projects.

Hi! I'm Jenn.
I’m a multi-disciplinary maker who loves to learn new ways of making things — taking classes, watching videos, and trying stuff out on my own. Knitting, spinning yarn, sewing clothing, and leather-working are some of the disciplines I work in. Many of my projects use all sorts of reclaimed and recycled items.

Macca is not a fan of stairs. He’s confused and freezes up when we return from a walk.
Handspun yarn sweater is done! So much happier with it this time around. It’s ready for washing and blocking. Love that it’s an addition to my closet I actually want to wear. Bonus points for finishing it while it is still cold enough to wear it.
Meet Macca! We have a different Australian foster greyhound today. Our adoption group did cat and small-dog testing today and decided that our home would be best to set Macca up for success.
Meet Caspian! This handsome fellow is our @gpanorthwest foster dog. He just arrived from Australia and is looking forward to finding his forever home.

About Jenn

Jenn Alvin
My goal is to inspire people to try new things. I’ve been craft-failing forward for years, and I believe that failure isn’t the opposite of success. It is part of it.
