Miss Jennifer, you have a way to relax anyone! Your voice is so calming and makes a person relax as you talk. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with everyone and making our dreams happen! You ARE truly a special person! Thank you!!!
What a nice way to start a Sunday morning by watching Jennifer in her new kitchen and making lovely, yummy bread and butter. I could almost taste it. Thank you!
I love your hoosier cabinet!!!! I have an active sourdough starter named Doughphelia and I make some awesome sourdough loaves and homemade cheezits with it! I also just started making my own dog treats and dog food. Now my pups won't eat anything else! Thanks for sharing your new kitchen with us, it looks amazing. So happy for you and your family and can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2025!
Jennifer, you are so calming and encouraging. Both you and Greg deserve all that you have. My heart was so full for you both while watching this beautiful video. Thank you.
Jennifer I so love all your videos and what you ask and tell us. I used to do book folding turning old books into beautiful pieces of art and NOW I am into doing so many things with the cricut. I still love book folding and decorating them as well. Thank you for a beautiful video.
Beautiful cabnet!!! What a find. It is so nice to have something old in a new space. It adds character and warmth. Nothing says home like the smell of fresh baked bread. My hubby loves it with Butter and homemade jellies. It always takes him back to his childhood weekend mornings in grandmothers' dairy farm kitchen. I'm gonna need to follow your lead and make some bread for him this week. Thank you for the peak inside your warm winter wonderland.
Baking is my 1st love but hard on the body. I LOVE my walk with you Jennifer to learn crafts. I love being able to create something new & challenging! Great Video!!!
You look amazing, Jennifer! What a beautiful cabinet! I've been baking my own bread for awhile. Not only is it healthier and cheaper but the satisfaction I have making it is indescribable. My mom loved to bake. Since she died 1½ years ago, I feel a connection to her when I pull out one of her handwritten recipe cards and attempt to make it just like her. It never comes out quite the same. Something is usually missing; probably her presence with all that love mixed with patience is missing. I miss her so much but baking some of her favorite recipes keeps her close to me. Thank you for sharing this video. It certainly brought back fond memories of spending so many days in the kitchen cooking and baking with my beautiful mother. ❤🥖🍞
I absolutely loved this video! That cabinet is so awesome and works great for your new kitchen! Watching the video was so relaxing! I think it’s fabulous that you found your joy again in cooking and baking. My hobby is reading and crafting. Thank you for sharing this video. I always enjoy seeing Maker Farm and all you and Greg have accomplished!
I’ve always loved the Hoosier. It was very popular to get these antiques in the 1980’s among my friends. Unfortunately, I was a young mother at that time and we just couldn’t afford it. Yours is gorgeous and I love how you are using it in your beautiful farm kitchen ❤
I love this! Crafting and baking are actually my hobbies. I am a nurse by trade. I started making sugar cookies before I began crafting and I loved it. But people actually wanted to purchase cookies from me and after a while it became more of a chore. I stopped baking sugar cookies for almost a year! That is when I began crafting. Now I bake sugar cookies again, but only for fun and for special occasions.
I love your new furniture. I am originally from Indiana and love that your cabinet is called a Hoosier cabinet. I'd heard of them but never owned one myself. It makes your kitchen area look fantastic.
I love your Hoosier Cabinet. I like that you've shared your love of baking. Like you, I love to bake. Baking always reminds me of baking with my grandma and great-aunt, especially when I use the recipes passed down. Please keep sharing as I love your stories.
I love your cabinet! Lol... Greg pulling out the drill was priceless! My hobbies are crafting (I learned my cricut, because of you), baking sourdough bread, making homemade ice cream, camping, hunting/fishing, photography, riding our mules, gardening, making jewelry and canning. I have a lot of hobbies.
Absolutely love that cabinet! My grandma had the metal top over her bread drawer and a built in flour box with sifter. That brings back so many memories of my grandma!!
I love your video. I have been waiting for an updated one. Sorry to hear you were under the weather, and that you are on the mend. I do have a few hobbies. I have always crafted, making things for the home, scrapbooking, making cards, knitting, crocheting, needlepoint just to name a few. lol. I took up sewing when I retired from my job. Then Cricut came into my life. Need I say more. Thank you for your uplifting encouragement.
Good for you for finding a new hobby. It's good to take time away from our work, no matter how great we are at it or how much we enjoy our work. I've turned to sewing and improv quilting recently. Your hoosier cabinet is wonderful! Maybe when it warms up, you will consider antiquing as a hobby to see if you can find other treasures for your new home.
Watching your house and property become a "home" has been quite enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this part of your life. I always thought I would just read constantly after I retired so I bought tons of books to be ready. Well, yes, I do still read but I don't read much during the day because I want to keep my hands and mind busy. I still love to sew, which I've been doing since I was about 8 years old. A few years ago I began to embroider again. After watching your video last fall, I'm all set to begin embroidering napkins as a gift for next Christmas for my DIL. This past summer I made several pair of faux leather earrings for myself and gifts for others. I'm not very creative but I spend lots of time making scrapbooks for my two adult children so they will always have picture memories from when they were growing up. For that reason, I love my Cricut Explore! I truly enjoy the projects you teach us. Thank you
Jennifer, thank you for such a calm video to watch on a snowy Sunday in Colorado. I just love your calm voice when you explain ideas and teach. And sharing your country kitchen is a long-time dream of mine. It is beautiful. I look forward to seeing your next video.
I am so happy for you and your family. You are so deserving. This video was so calming and lovely. I must say that the bread and butter had me drooling. Best of luck to you and Greg in the future. Thank you!
Love your video, everything is just so calm and beautiful! Crafting is my hobby I just wish I had more space. Everything I’ve learned with my crafting I’ve learned from you, thank you bunches! Your bread looked yummy, and love the cabinet and all the space. Have a great day and stay warm!
Love the video and your new home, enjoy every minute of it. yes, hobbies are important in our life and that's why i do crafting for fun.Thank you for sharing.
Ah Jennifer I craved a white winter this Christmas just gone but alas it was a not too hot summer in Australia. Can't wait to see a tour of The Farm. As someone said your voice is very calming. Don't change.
I love baking too and stay so busy craftimg these days that I don't do it very often anymore. Thank you for the wonderful reminder that we need to Self Care ... personal hobby time being penciled in right now on the weekly ❤ Bread looked amazing! ❤
Jennifer you are a gem to all of us crafters. Love to listen to your adventures. I want to live next door to you (not to close to impose on you😊). I loved Greg’s before dinner hug. We all need hugs before dinner😉
Beautiful bread! Your hubby's face told how wonderful it must have been. And thank you Jennifer for this wonderful reminder, caring for our hearts and minds. 💝Happy Sunday!
I really enjoyed this video Jennifer ❤ I have a hobby, but it had to be placed on the back burner when we moved with our daughter to a whole different state and in with them. Needless to say, it is not working out ,so we will be moving back to where we came from, an I can start all over. I did do a little sewing, some painting, and 1 Cricuit project. I am paint for my shadow box frame so I can do the Northern Light project you taught and then I will be packing up for the move. Thank you, for the wonderful words of encouragement, and yes, I also love baking and cooking of whichnI will be doing again soon. I look forward to more of these videos and your crafting videos.❤
So enjoy seeing the growth of your farm. I love to bake when not crafting. Made some fruitcake cookies with all the left over dried fruit from Christmas fruitcake makes. I’m going to try your bread this week. Thank you for sharing .
Amazing Jennifer! Very enjoyable! This has been one of those weeks I’ve remained inside beside due to cold weather, my health, dogs sick, etc. its good to have an outlet away from things done regularly. Please don’t burn out. It’s not a good place to be in.
I so enjoy your videos! I love to crochet when I am sitting and relaxing. I look forward to hearing more of your recipes. Have never made butter (but hoping to change that!) and that bread recipe sounds simple and delicious. Thank you.
What a wonderful video. Thank you. My hobbies are working in my yard and gardens, crafty, sewing, etc. Now I have a taste for homemade bread, but my house is too cold for it to rise. I never rinsed my homemade butter! I always learn something new from you. 😊 Hi Greg!
I love this! The cabinet is amazing, and I really appreciate antiques. Your video became personal when you started doing crafts for fun. Turning that into a career is certainly a positive step, but I understand how it can feel more like a chore rather than an enjoyable activity. I find that keeping hobbies helps, and changing things up can be refreshing. I hope your new studio brings you joy with all your beautiful crafts and videos. You truly inspire me and many others. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Angie! I am trying to share more of my personal story, for better or worse, in this space. It's not always easy, but I am getting better with practice. I want to inspire and help others, and I know that means I need to share more beyond just tutorials.
Miss Jennifer - I grew up in Central Ohio in a home my parents built. They kitchen design included a double-door cabinet in which my mother installed a flour sifter exactly like in your Hoosier cabinet except the lid came off and the bin pulled out to add flour. She always kept a large pie plate beneath to catch any extra flour. On the other side of the cabinet, was the same type bin minus shift for sugar! I kept both bins; however, never have had a cabinet in which to install them. One day. Watching your video brought back wonderful memories. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I love the cabinet and baking. There is something very homey and cozy about homemade bread and butter. You also can’t beat the smell!!😊
What a wonderful inspiring message ❤️ Loved seeing you put that amazing Hoosier cabinet to use! The kitchen is so beautiful and homey looking. I could've sworn I could smell the bread when it came out of the oven. Of course, Greg would implement a drill to make the butter churning a smarter not harder process 😂 You look so relaxed and peaceful in your country style dress & slippers! It's a great look for you 😊
The amount of flour and yeast and all other ingredients I have gone thru to learn how to make bread, is OTT! I have yet to master it and the loaves I have thrown away! I will try your recipe. My hobbies are gardening, crafting and cooking and baking. Great video as always, Jennifer and Greg!
Thank you Jennifer and Greg, This was great! Please continue to share. I love watching your videos and gaining the encouragement to try, whatever it is.❤
The red house looks so beautiful in the snow. Congratulations! Crafting is still a hobby. I just started laser engraving. But, wildlife photography is another passion of mine.
I loved the video and your gorgeous Hoosier cabinet! I collect antique cooking tools and my favorite hobby is baking! I am learning to work with a Sourdough starter. There is art and science to maintaining a starter
Oh Jennifer I just loved your video. I've had many mishaps trying to make bread -- I'm going to try your recipe. But about hobbies -- before Christmas I thought I'd want to sell my beautiful things I'd made with Cricut. then I thought I didn't really want my creations to go off to places unknown. Id rather give them to friends and family. So I refocused. I decided I'd only make things that had a reason. While I watched your video I finished tieing bows on 50 valentine candy holders I'd made with Cricut. These are for my grandchildren's valentines day part at school. They are so excited to have something made by Grammy. I found your video to be relaxing while I worked. So this IS my hobby and I love it. I'm retired and I don't need to sell so I can just enjoy creating and sharing. Thank you so much for allowing us a glimpse of your life and for teaching me so much. You are great!
This was a very heartwarming video! You and Greg are so cute together. Oh and I love your new hutch!! You made me want to try my hand at homemade bread and butter and that chili recipe sounds amazingly delicious! 🤤 Thank you for everything you do. You are very inspiring! Glad you are feeling better. I hope everything‘s OK. 💜
My hobbies include genealogy, minis, & learning new crafts, very hooked on papercrafts right now- love working with my hands! No plans for a business related to any of these. I enjoy gifting what I make. I also enjoyed baking, but the clean-up makes it less desirable- hmmmm if I had someone to clean up the "mess", I'd be right there! My challenge is finding the time to "play" since I still work full time- goal is to retire in 2 years since I'm 74 yo! The studio kitchen is beautiful- thanks for sharing!
Jennifer, if I may use your first name, you did a great job with this video. I really appreciate your casual calm affect in this video. I like it very much. Your production of the video is lovely. Great job. Thanks for sharing your personal space and thoughts. Bless your home. Our grandmother has a Hoosier but nowhere the quality of yours. Congratulations.
THANKS for sharing, your new kitchen, bread and butter recipes. Love it. My hobbies are: I love to read, bake , try new things (piddle) in the kitchen and try to make new crafts with any of my toys (cricut or laser) I make a lot of mistakaes but have fun trying. I really apprecitate all you share, your story truly inspries me to want to get off the JOB train and try to start up a business again. THANKS again. Stay warm and keeo being you.
I LOVE your Hoosier cabinet. I've had several over the years, looking for the perfect one - yours looks like it would be perfect! I'm also a bread baker - I love homemade sourdough.
Beautiful video! I am definitely going to try baking bread this week. My favorite hobbies are crafting and reading, but this spring I am going to try growing flowers. ❤
Thank you for your videos. They have comforted me through difficult times and given me motivation to keep going. I am slowly finding my way and I thank you for this. Iam also now able to use my Cricut and get inspiration from your resources. Wishing only joy and happiness for you and your family.
Thank you for this video and beautiful message. My hobby is reading. I also enjoy crafting, which is why I follow you. But I usually struggle while making cards. Things don't work like I want, etc. So, reading is my stress-free hobby just for me.
I have soooo many hobbies and I love them all. Loved your video and that cabinet is beautiful. Many years ago when my husband and I moved to a rural area from the city, we built our own home on our farm and had chickens,turkeys and cows, plus a milking cow so we always had fresh milk and yes, I made butter too. I made bread but our favourite was scones with fresh butter,j am and cream, yummy. Thanks for being you Jennifer and for allowing us to be part of your life and you,ours. God Bless.
Have soooo many hobbies, love crafting, love cross stitching, sewing, baking, and gardening. Knowing that all of them can be my favourite, it can be hard to go from one hobby to another, but try to split the time as evenly as possible.. Love your farm like kitchen, and your new cabinet wow. Can’t wait to see where this journey will take you.
Wow!!! Love that Hoosier cabinet. I made sourdough bread and donuts today too. I am ready to make some jelly too. I have also been doing more crafting now from Jennifer Maker Advanced. Your place looks so lovely in the snow
You and Greg have a beautiful kitchen! I love your hoosier cabinet! I have noticed your weight loss, hope all is well with your health. I hope you don't mind me saying that!! I love all your videos. I have watched you since the beginning!
I love how you share your personal story. You truly are a beautiful person. My hobby for fun is crocheting but I have not done it in a while. I think it is time for a new afghan for the sofa. When that is done I will sew a couple of pillow covers with fabric colors to match the afghan. Thank you for being... you!
I love the smell and taste of fresh baked bread! Who doesn't??!! I felt so inspired by your video, I went upstairs, pulled out the bread machine and started making a loaf. 😄 ....really!
This video was the gift I didn't know I needed. Thank you, Jennifer. Your video had more than a wonderful idea for bread. It relaxed my mind and body as I am reorganizing my office/studio to begin a new career. I love you for who you are, what you do and how you bring so much joy to so many people.
Nice hutch. I am looking for a new hobby, too. So far I have tried crocheting amigurumis. That was fun learning how to make one now I want to make more. They are so cute. Your bred looked yummy!!! I want to try some other hobbies, too.
I guess my hobby is trying new things. Over the years I have done scroll saw cutting, tole painting, cross stitching, candle making. I enjoy baking, writing poems, I recently started paper crafting, making my own body lotion and scrubs, but I would love to try making paint pour cutting boards, crocheting, felt needle crafting and wood burning as well. Thank you for the reminder that a hobby is more about the journey than the finished product itself.
I'm sorry to hear you have been poorly. I'm glad you are better now. Your kitchen looks so lovely, and the Hoosier Cabinet, looks amazing. Your bread looks absolutely delicious. I really want to have a go at making it, especially as it's no knead. Look forward to seeing what you create next time. Debs. ❤
Like you as a kid, I used to be the primary cook and loved baking every weekend I would bake something for the family, mainly desserts. My hobbies are still baking, I just don't it as often as I once did. My other hobbies are cooking, canning, gardening, and the past 15 years quilting and machine embroidery. I look forward to watching you rejuvinate your kitchen hobbies. By the way, I am so in love with you new Home Studio it is amazing.
Ah that looks divine! I will try the recipe too 😊 thanks for sharing! I read a lot, and crochet for fun too! Just finished Onyx Storm (3rd in the Forth Wing series, released on Tuesday 😂) and often craft for fun too 🥰
Let me know how you like the bread! I do craft for fun, too, but it's not enough -- and I often feel compelled to share, which as you know, means a different level of polish. But my favorite craft that is just for fun is decorating my dresses for special trips and events. I have a cruise coming up that is going to need some new dresses! I have some ideas already. It's fun that you crochet. I want to, and my mom makes lovely things. It's on my list!
I love all your videos at the farm. Your kitchen is gorgeous, a true farmhouse kitchen! Love that hutch, it is a dream box for the kitchen! I work from home doing financial accounting and crafts is my hobby, but I never seem to have enough time to make everything I want to. I didn’t have a dedicated crafting space, all my supplies are in the spare bedroom and I have to bring my supplies to the kitchen table. We bought a shed, put up insulation, walls, electric, lights, ceiling fan, vinyl flooring, an infrared heater and a mobile AC unit, got some desks and put up shelves , we finally finished and I’ve been moving in my craft supplies in, I will finally have a dedicated craft space! I can actually sit down and start crafting without having to bring everything back and forth to the kitchen table! Yay!
I love your cabinet. It is so well designed, we have lost many of these skills to maximize space with a solid piece of furniture. Some of the features remind me of my grandmother's kitchen, with built in cutting boards built into the cabinets just below the counter. The kitchen was small by today's standards but she cooked for about 10 people each day in it. The kitchen is the heart of the kitchen, your kitchen is welcoming.
Love your kitchen, and your Hooser- I absolutely love these old and very funtional pieces- takes me back (loved those-and still do). I hope your health continues to improve- stay well- my go to is painting, I even have some pieces hanging around the house and have gifted some to Family, friends and fund raisers 😊🥰
Thank you for sharing your new home and hobby with us. I have followed you from the beginning. You're a light I need to remind me to keep moving forward.❤
I so enjoyed the video! I dearly love homemade bread and you inspired me to want to make homemade butter and buttermilk too! I am so happy to see your dreams coming true at the farm!
I love that you are going back to find that hobby you like. Mine is working with my Alpacas. Spinning on my spinning wheel spinning their fiber into yarn is my relax.
Jennifer thank you for this bread recipe. I’m gonna give it a shot maybe tomorrow. Please share more recipes. I love it. I don’t have a lot of recipes so this is great. Thank you and so so glad you’re feeling better. God bless you
The smile
on your hubs face when he pulled out the drill!!! Priceless.
Miss Jennifer, you have a way to relax anyone! Your voice is so calming and makes a person relax as you talk. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with everyone and making our dreams happen! You ARE truly a special person! Thank you!!!

Your hutch is amazing!! 😍 This video is certainly resonating with me, thank you 💖
Your Hoosier cabinet is beautiful! Greg using his drill to churn butter was awesome. Everything looked delicious!
Beautiful cabnet!!!
What a find. It is so nice to have something old in a new space. It adds character and warmth. Nothing says home like the smell of fresh baked bread.
My hubby loves it with Butter and homemade jellies. It always takes him back to his childhood weekend mornings in grandmothers' dairy farm kitchen. I'm gonna need to follow your lead and make some bread for him this week.
Thank you for the peak inside your warm winter wonderland.
She said, “in true Greg fashion” and it was! May you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor with each and every recipe and crafting project!
LOL, Greg is always fun to be around. :)
Baking is my 1st love but hard on the body. I LOVE my walk with you Jennifer to learn crafts. I love being able to create something new & challenging! Great Video!!!
Pray you keep getting better (from your illness). This video just uplifted me...because your wisdom and calming voice does just that 🥰
You look amazing, Jennifer!

Thanks to you i learned how to use my cricut. I now have a craft room i spend many hours in. thank you so much for all that you do.
You’re so precious, Jennifer!! Thanks for being you and sharing with us! Love your new hutch, kitchen, and bread recipe. Love you! 🥰 ❤
My hobbies since I have retired 2 years ago is, learning to quilt, crisstich, embroidery. Now I'm have extra time for all Cricut crafts. Thank you.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video! So heart warming and peaceful. God Bless you and your family.💕💕
I absolutely loved this video! That cabinet is so awesome and works great for your new kitchen! Watching the video was so relaxing!

You have the most beautiful eyes 🥰 I love your new kitchen and especially your antique cabinet. Many blessings to you and your family.
What a great idea for making bread. Love the cabinet. Thanks for sharing.
What a nice calming way to cook. I do agree that one needs a hobby that is not part of a process that is geared to create a number of items.
I’ve always loved the Hoosier. It was very popular to get these antiques in the 1980’s among my friends.
Unfortunately, I was a young mother at that time and we just couldn’t afford it.
Yours is gorgeous and I love how you are using it in your beautiful farm kitchen ❤

I'm a Hoosier and I LOVE those cabinets!! Yours is beautiful!
Absolutely love that cabinet! My grandma had the metal top over her bread drawer and a built in flour box with sifter. That brings back so many memories of my grandma!!

I really enjoyed this video Jennifer ❤ I have a hobby, but it had to be placed on the back burner when we moved with our daughter to a whole different state and in with them. Needless to say, it is not working out ,so we will be moving back to where we came from, an I can start all over. I did do a little sewing, some painting, and 1 Cricuit project.

Hi Greg!
I love this! The cabinet is amazing, and I really appreciate antiques. Your video became personal when you started doing crafts for fun. Turning that into a career is certainly a positive step, but I understand how it can feel more like a chore rather than an enjoyable activity. I find that keeping hobbies helps, and changing things up can be refreshing. I hope your new studio brings you joy with all your beautiful crafts and videos. You truly inspire me and many others. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Angie! I am trying to share more of my personal story, for better or worse, in this space. It's not always easy, but I am getting better with practice. I want to inspire and help others, and I know that means I need to share more beyond just tutorials.
Miss Jennifer - I grew up in Central Ohio in a home my parents built. They kitchen design included a double-door cabinet in which my mother installed a flour sifter exactly like in your Hoosier cabinet except the lid came off and the bin pulled out to add flour. She always kept a large pie plate beneath to catch any extra flour. On the other side of the cabinet, was the same type bin minus shift for sugar! I kept both bins; however, never have had a cabinet in which to install them. One day. Watching your video brought back wonderful memories. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I love the cabinet and baking. There is something very homey and cozy about homemade bread and butter. You also can’t beat the smell!!😊
What a wonderful inspiring message ❤️ Loved seeing you put that amazing Hoosier cabinet to use! The kitchen is so beautiful and homey looking. I could've sworn I could smell the bread when it came out of the oven.
Of course, Greg would implement a drill to make the butter churning a smarter not harder process 😂
You look so relaxed and peaceful in your country style dress & slippers! It's a great look for you 😊
The amount of flour and yeast and all other ingredients I have gone thru to learn how to make bread, is OTT! I have yet to master it and the loaves I have thrown away! I will try your recipe. My hobbies are gardening, crafting and cooking and baking. Great video as always, Jennifer and Greg!
Thank you Jennifer and Greg,
This was great! Please continue to share. I love watching your videos and gaining the encouragement to try, whatever it is.❤
love your beautiful kitchen and the bread looks yummy enjoy your new home
Beautiful Hutch Jennifer. The bread was excellent. TYou ❤
The red house looks so beautiful in the snow. Congratulations! Crafting is still a hobby. I just started laser engraving. But, wildlife photography is another passion of mine.
I loved the video and your gorgeous Hoosier cabinet! I collect antique cooking tools and my favorite hobby is baking! I am learning to work with a Sourdough starter. There is art and science to maintaining a starter
Oh Jennifer I just loved your video. I've had many mishaps trying to make bread -- I'm going to try your recipe. But about hobbies -- before Christmas I thought I'd want to sell my beautiful things I'd made with Cricut. then I thought I didn't really want my creations to go off to places unknown. Id rather give them to friends and family. So I refocused. I decided I'd only make things that had a reason. While I watched your video I finished tieing bows on 50 valentine candy holders I'd made with Cricut. These are for my grandchildren's valentines day part at school. They are so excited to have something made by Grammy.
I found your video to be relaxing while I worked. So this IS my hobby and I love it. I'm retired and I don't need to sell so I can just enjoy creating and sharing. Thank you so much for allowing us a glimpse of your life and for teaching me so much. You are great!
This was a very heartwarming video! You and Greg are so cute together. Oh and I love your new hutch!! You made me want to try my hand at homemade bread and butter and that chili recipe sounds amazingly delicious! 🤤 Thank you for everything you do. You are very inspiring! Glad you are feeling better. I hope everything‘s OK. 💜
My hobbies include genealogy, minis, & learning new crafts, very hooked on papercrafts right now- love working with my hands! No plans for a business related to any of these. I enjoy gifting what I make. I also enjoyed baking, but the clean-up makes it less desirable- hmmmm if I had someone to clean up the "mess", I'd be right there! My challenge is finding the time to "play" since I still work full time- goal is to retire in 2 years since I'm 74 yo! The studio kitchen is beautiful- thanks for sharing!
Jennifer, if I may use your first name, you did a great job with this video. I really appreciate your casual calm affect in this video. I like it very much. Your production of the video is lovely. Great job. Thanks for sharing your personal space and thoughts. Bless your home. Our grandmother has a Hoosier but nowhere the quality of yours. Congratulations.
The cabinet is gorgeous!
THANKS for sharing, your new kitchen, bread and butter recipes. Love it. My hobbies are: I love to read, bake , try new things (piddle) in the kitchen and try to make new crafts with any of my toys (cricut or laser) I make a lot of mistakaes but have fun trying. I really apprecitate all you share, your story truly inspries me to want to get off the JOB train and try to start up a business again. THANKS again. Stay warm and keeo being you.
I LOVE your Hoosier cabinet. I've had several over the years, looking for the perfect one - yours looks like it would be perfect! I'm also a bread baker - I love homemade sourdough.
Beautiful video! I am definitely going to try baking bread this week. My favorite hobbies are crafting and reading, but this spring I am going to try growing flowers. ❤
Thanks Jennifer for sharing your kitchen and baking with us. I really enjoyed the video. This moment can’t be topped!💕
Thank you for your videos. They have comforted me through difficult times and given me motivation to keep going. I am slowly finding my way and I thank you for this. Iam also now able to use my Cricut and get inspiration from your resources. Wishing only joy and happiness for you and your family.
I love it! And you!
Thank you for this video and beautiful message. My hobby is reading. I also enjoy crafting, which is why I follow you. But I usually struggle while making cards. Things don't work like I want, etc. So, reading is my stress-free hobby just for me.
The bread recipe with a clip art of warm bread would look terrific on a sublimated waffle weave kitchen towel. Handy dandy! Beautiful video btw.
I have soooo many hobbies and I love them all. Loved your video and that cabinet is beautiful. Many years ago when my husband and I moved to a rural area from the city, we built our own home on our farm and had chickens,turkeys and cows, plus a milking cow so we always had fresh milk and yes, I made butter too. I made bread but our favourite was scones with fresh butter,j am and cream, yummy. Thanks for being you Jennifer and for allowing us to be part of your life and you,ours. God Bless.
Only Greg, lol, would use a drill. How funny. The bread looks delicious, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing and thanks, silly Greg, for the laugh!
Have soooo many hobbies, love crafting, love cross stitching, sewing, baking, and gardening.
Knowing that all of them can be my favourite, it can be hard to go from one hobby to another, but try to split the time as evenly as possible..
Love your farm like kitchen, and your new cabinet wow.
Can’t wait to see where this journey will take you.
I love you lady for all the gifts you’ve shared with us and all the wonderful things you have taught me. God Bless you .
Wow!!! Love that Hoosier cabinet. I made sourdough bread and donuts today too. I am ready to make some jelly too. I have also been doing more crafting now from Jennifer Maker Advanced. Your place looks so lovely in the snow
You and Greg have a beautiful kitchen! I love your hoosier cabinet! I have noticed your weight loss, hope all is well with your health. I hope you don't mind me saying that!! I love all your videos. I have watched you since the beginning!
I love that hutch-it reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen. Thank you for sharing this.
Love the hutch especially the flour holder/sifter. & really like Greg's idea to make quicker/easier job, to save arm 😅 nice video thank you.
I love how you share your personal story. You truly are a beautiful person. My hobby for fun is crocheting but I have not done it in a while. I think it is time for a new afghan for the sofa. When that is done I will sew a couple of pillow covers with fabric colors to match the afghan. Thank you for being... you!
I love the smell and taste of fresh baked bread! Who doesn't??!!
I felt so inspired by your video, I went upstairs, pulled out the bread machine and started making a loaf. 😄 ....really!
That’s wonderful!
This video was the gift I didn't know I needed. Thank you, Jennifer. Your video had more than a wonderful idea for bread. It relaxed my mind and body as I am reorganizing my office/studio to begin a new career. I love you for who you are, what you do and how you bring so much joy to so many people.
Nice hutch. I am looking for a new hobby, too. So far I have tried crocheting amigurumis. That was fun learning how to make one now I want to make more. They are so cute. Your bred looked yummy!!! I want to try some other hobbies, too.
I guess my hobby is trying new things. Over the years I have done scroll saw cutting, tole painting, cross stitching, candle making. I enjoy baking, writing poems, I recently started paper crafting, making my own body lotion and scrubs, but I would love to try making paint pour cutting boards, crocheting, felt needle crafting and wood burning as well. Thank you for the reminder that a hobby is more about the journey than the finished product itself.
I'm sorry to hear you have been poorly. I'm glad you are better now. Your kitchen looks so lovely, and the Hoosier Cabinet, looks amazing. Your bread looks absolutely delicious. I really want to have a go at making it, especially as it's no knead. Look forward to seeing what you create next time. Debs. ❤
Like you as a kid, I used to be the primary cook and loved baking every weekend I would bake something for the family, mainly desserts. My hobbies are still baking, I just don't it as often as I once did. My other hobbies are cooking, canning, gardening, and the past 15 years quilting and machine embroidery. I look forward to watching you rejuvinate your kitchen hobbies. By the way, I am so in love with you new Home Studio it is amazing.
Ooh the bread looks so amazing!! Yummm
Ah that looks divine! I will try the recipe too 😊 thanks for sharing!
I read a lot, and crochet for fun too! Just finished Onyx Storm (3rd in the Forth Wing series, released on Tuesday 😂) and often craft for fun too 🥰
Let me know how you like the bread! I do craft for fun, too, but it's not enough -- and I often feel compelled to share, which as you know, means a different level of polish. But my favorite craft that is just for fun is decorating my dresses for special trips and events. I have a cruise coming up that is going to need some new dresses! I have some ideas already.
It's fun that you crochet. I want to, and my mom makes lovely things. It's on my list!
I love all your videos at the farm. Your kitchen is gorgeous, a true farmhouse kitchen! Love that hutch, it is a dream box for the kitchen! I work from home doing financial accounting and crafts is my hobby, but I never seem to have enough time to make everything I want to. I didn’t have a dedicated crafting space, all my supplies are in the spare bedroom and I have to bring my supplies to the kitchen table. We bought a shed, put up insulation, walls, electric, lights, ceiling fan, vinyl flooring, an infrared heater and a mobile AC unit, got some desks and put up shelves , we finally finished and I’ve been moving in my craft supplies in, I will finally have a dedicated craft space! I can actually sit down and start crafting without having to bring everything back and forth to the kitchen table! Yay!
Awesome place. Love Pure Michigan!
I love your cabinet. It is so well designed, we have lost many of these skills to maximize space with a solid piece of furniture. Some of the features remind me of my grandmother's kitchen, with built in cutting boards built into the cabinets just below the counter. The kitchen was small by today's standards but she cooked for about 10 people each day in it. The kitchen is the heart of the kitchen, your kitchen is welcoming.
Love your kitchen, and your Hooser- I absolutely love these old and very funtional pieces- takes me back (loved those-and still do). I hope your health continues to improve- stay well- my go to is painting, I even have some pieces hanging around the house and have gifted some to Family, friends and fund raisers 😊🥰
Thank you for sharing your new home and hobby with us. I have followed you from the beginning. You're a light I need to remind me to keep moving forward.❤
I so enjoyed the video! I dearly love homemade bread and you inspired me to want to make homemade butter and buttermilk too! I am so happy to see your dreams coming true at the farm!
I love that you are going back to find that hobby you like. Mine is working with my Alpacas. Spinning on my spinning wheel spinning their fiber into yarn is my relax.
I love your cabinet as well! I have enjoyed making sourdough bread, pancakes, bagels and English muffins.
Jennifer thank you for this bread recipe. I’m gonna give it a shot maybe tomorrow. Please share more recipes. I love it. I don’t have a lot of recipes so this is great. Thank you and so so glad you’re feeling better. God bless you
Thank you for sharing this video. The hutch is beautiful. I love making homemade bread just made some yesterday
