Welcome !

Hi! My name is Jen. Thank you so very much for stopping by :)

I am a stay at home mom to two gorgeous girls (2010 and 2012).

I started this blog long ago as a way to motivate myself in my sewing adventures, and this blog is still mainly about sewing.

However as time has gone on I have discovered a major dairy allergy (and added some recipes on here), rekindled my 1st love of sketching, and lost a lot of craft time due to the previously mentioned daughters.

So this blog might look a bit scattered in interests and I may not post as often as I like. But I hope you feel comfortable here in my little space on the interweb. Please feel welcome to interact with me on here (I try and respond to every comment unless you are a no reply commenter).

I also am starting to get into selling my work! which I admit is a bit scary for me - but if you see something you like feel free to shoot me an email at thecraftingfiend@gmail.com or check out my facebook page and leave a message there.
