Gina is just such a person. As well as an active supporter of handmade, Gina plays piano, scrapbooking, reading, playing games as well as volunteering at her church.

TrueJune, tell us a bit about yourself. My name is Jenny Knuth and I live in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, with my husband, two “tween” sons, and two cats. After remodeling our house five years ago, I was lucky enough to have a room all to myself for my projects. I painted it red because life […]

Submitted by CalcedoniaDesign. Knitting is not my specialty-my mom can knit up a storm-I would rather crochet.

My name is Dora and I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself, my new company and how I started this business. Calcedonia is my 85 year old mom’s “real” name. I say “real” because when she was in school everyone thought her name was too long and it was shortened to Dora. She kept […]
