My husband and I have been blessed to call Snohomish, Washington, home since 1990. We have raised two sons in our wonderful community.
I was introduced to fiber arts at the age of eight by my grandmother with her Kenmore sewing machine and scraps box. It was then that I fell in love with making things that bring joy to others. I have been creating and striving to bring joy ever since in every field of work I enter. I started out as a cosmetologist enjoying hair and nail design for fifteen years. Next, I became a phlebotomist where I created a trusting and a pleasant environment for my patients. Later, I worked in aromatherapy as a production manager making amazing products that made people feel better. In addition, I have enjoyed the privilege of being a guest teacher at local cosmetology schools and homeschool teacher to my boys. Currently, I am teaching wool flower making classes at local businesses.
Jenny Lynn Wool Creations was born from my primitive rug hooking hobby. Primitive rug hooking is a type of fiber art that uses wool strips that are pulled through a foundation material like linen, rug warp, monk’s cloth, or burlap; this is done with a special hook. The finished product may be a rug, wall hanging, pillow, or many other possibilities. These projects often include different mediums, textures, and applique. I began making wool flowers for applique and one thing led to another. Now, I am living a dream making gorgeous wool flowers and sharing that gift with others. Watching a student light up when they have created something beautiful, they previously thought they were incapable of, is simply amazing and I love it!
In addition to teaching classes locally I am excited to be a member of the Snohomish Farmers Market Association where I participate as a vendor during the regular market season that runs from May to September. Being involved in my community is very rewarding. I am privileged to serve as secretary on the Snohomish Farmers Market Board of Directors for the 2024-2025 term. I am also serving as the Washington Member at Large Demo/Advertising Chair on the Region 11, Chapter 77 ATHA Board of Directors for the 2024-2025 term. Both positions have stretched me in beneficial ways and have allowed me to give back to my community. What an enormous blessing that is!
I invite you to connect with me over Facebook & Instagram to keep up with the latest events, classes, and creations. I look forward to creating for you and with you!
