Reviewing the Wonderful World of Crafting!
It is exhilarating to look out the windows at the beautiful days. It fills us all with the desire and energy to do something. However, March weather is not often cooperative, or conducive to outdoor activity.
In my region, you never know what weather you will wake up to on any given day. Some days we have beautiful spring weather bursting with new life in our flower beds. Then the following day we can find ourselves thrown back into winter with ice and snow.
The spring days make you want to go outside, breathe in the fresh air, and have fun "running with the wind". Unfortunately, when those days are followed by freezing weather, you find yourself stuck in the house still feeling that desire to do something. I turn to my crafts and harness that energy while I wait for the warm weather to return.
Fun Crafts - There's Something for Everyone
The wonderful thing about crafts is that there is a craft project for everyone. For those of us who love needlework, there are a variety of options. Sewing, quilting, cross-stitch, or embroidery fall under the category of needlework. The beauty of many needlework kits is that they are often small and portable.
Several of my fellow contributors enjoy crochet and working with yarn instead of thread. That is also a craft that is portable. Both Wednesday Elf and Dawn Rae have Etsy stores where they sell their beautiful creations.
Avid crafters, like myself, tend to skip from one craft project to another. Not only do we enjoy needlework, crochet or knitting, but we also explore the world of stenciling, painting, decoupage, flower arranging, latch hook, mosaics, beaded crafts, and many more.
Regardless of the craft, it is always a creation made by our own hands. Hours of love are often poured into whichever craft we choose and many finished projects turn into treasures for a lifetime and passed down for generations. For such a worthy endeavor, a month is not really enough time to celebrate, but it is a great beginning.
Here are a few websites you might enjoy visiting when you are ready to select a craft, kit, or pattern. The tutorials on Crafter's Kingdom will make it easier to learn a new craft too.
The Business of Crafts
Because of my own love for a variety of crafts, like Wednesday Elf and Dawn Rae, I also opened an online store 19 years ago. My craft supplies store is on eBay, which predated Etsy. I love both sites and highly recommend either for selling or buying.
All of the craft kits, patterns, or books featured in the introduction photo, are available in The House of Sylvestermouse eBay store.
