March is national crafting month. A lot of the craft stores (at least the national chains) are having special sales in celebration. So what are you doing to celebrate? I signed up for a crochet class. I cross-stitch but I don't know how to do any of the yarn crafts so I thought this was a great opportunity to celebrate national craft month by taking a class and learning a new craft. Plus Joann's is having a special on their classes they are 35% off and they give you a coupon for 20% off the supplies you have to purchase for the class. Its a very sweet deal. So tell me, what are you doing for this national craft month?

I've just started needle felting and love it...learning to make all kinds of things...although I don't consider myself very creative I am giving it a great effort. I am making eggs, flowers, mushrooms, lady bugs and balls so far! which chain is having the sale to celebrate?

I'm celebrating by using those coupons!!! We have a small group of people in our church who meet on a monthly basis to share ideas, supplies, and fellowship as we make items to sell during our holiday bazaar in November. It is great fun and I'm getting to make all kinds of things. I just finished crocheting a Christmas stocking, my second, and have enough yarn for a third. Then I have styrofoam balls to cover with sequins and beads for tree decorations. We have folks making jewelry from beads, as well as other folks making tree ornament elves from bells and felt. We meet for two hours and chat and laugh and have a good time. And we hope to make a lot of money for the church from our bazaar.

oh, that sounds like lots of fun. I belong to a knitting circle we meet once a month at the local coffee shop to stitch and chat. Good luck with your sale in November.

I used to do a lot more crafting than I do now, but I still enjoy crafting now and then when I get a chance. I haven't really done much of anything this month though. I probably should get out some of my projects and get busy.

I think crocheting will be fun. I am looking forward to my class. I don't craft enough to sell my work. Its cool that you do though. Good luck with your sales.
