Hi, my name is Janice and I live in St Louis, Mo. I have been working with wood probably for the past 18 years. I wanted a sewing machine for X-mas, so I got one from my husband. But after seeing what my dad was doing with his scroll saw, I borrowed my father in law's and never really learned to sew. It was pretty much like using a sewing machine. So I started out with small crafts and then learned how to paint. Before I knew it I was making small furniture, then I built my bedroom set. We have a cabin on the river that I've been going to since I was a baby. My dad gave me the cabin a few years back and now my husband is building a room addition. A bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a greatroom. I told my husband I wanted to build the kitchen cabinets and after alot of arguing I won. It was the most fun I've had working with wood. They turned out good enough for the river. It ends up sometimes costing alittle more, but I learn from my mistakes. Hey, it's a hobby. Still working full time. I am so much an ameature, alittle afraid to put pictures up after discovering this site and seeing what everyone else is doing. Going to the river, woodworking and painting is what I love to do!

-- Janice

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Nice to meet you and thanks alot. I really like the primitve country look too. To bad I don’t really have the house for it. I kind of have a hodge pode of things going on. I like to garden too, but sometimes I just don’t have time to really take good care of them. I have alot of perenialls, not sure how to spell that, but you know what I mean. I work for a school so I’m off 6 weeks during the summer and spend alot of time at the cabin. Therefore, I have to rely on my husband watering my flowers. I usually come home and find something dead. I will have to check out GardenTenders and see your flowers. Thanks for writing.

Well if you get a chance to check out “my” flowers on GT … be sure to say HI …

I have seen some of my friends create really primative country looks in homes you wouldn’t think could handle the look. From the little I see, I think you definitely have the feel going on in your home. Anyway, nice to meet you as well and I look forward to seeing what else you create! :-)
