2016 Crafting Goals!

2016 Crafting Goals! 
Do you have any crafting goals for this year? Personally I'd love to try out some Craftsy products, especially their yarns and kits. I also want to start sewing more again, I haven't really sewn in a little over a year which is very saddening for me. I love to sew, but my youngest is just such a heathen I can't relax and sew. If I do sew I can't leave my sewing machine or he messes with it and tangles up all of the thread, usually causing a lot of loss. 

Here are some of the kits that I would like to try from Craftsy. 
  

On the left is the Coveted Cowl Knit, which is $34, but currently 65% OFF so you can score this kit for only $11.87. On the right is the Night Out Knit Top, this one is $36 and currently 50% OFF so you only pay $17.97. For sewing kits Craftsy has dresses, bags & accessories, tops, children's wear, skirts, outer wear, pants & shorts as well as one day projects. Check out all of the sewing kits.



They also offer quilting kits to make beautiful quilts. I've never quilted before, but I would love to give it a shot. Never know if you're good at something or not until you try it. Here are a couple kits that I'd love to try from the quilting kits. The kit on the left is the Robert Kaufman Charming Baby Quilt which is originally $41, but it is on sale for $24.57. And the quilt kit on the right is the Robert Kaufman Urban Zoo Happy Menagerie which is originally $56, but it is also on sale right now for $36.40. I have been a Robert Karufman fabric fan for quite some time now. All of the fabric I've tried of his has been of great quality and would definitely be quilt quality.



While I have not been able to get the hang of knitting, I do greatly enjoy crocheting! They offer so many wonderful crocheting kits (and knitting), I could spend a fortune trying out each one! But here are two that I would really like to try out. The Crocodile Stitch Boots is a pattern that I've wanted to try for quite some time, I just haven't gotten around to purchasing the pattern.This kit is currently $11.83, marked down from $18.20. I recently became an aunt to a beautiful little girl and this Eloise Sweater would be perfect for her! It is offered in sizes 6m through 3T and is currently only $21-24 depending on the size you need, marked down from $30-34.

What else could I possibly want or need? Oh, a WHOLE LOT!! Craftsy also offers supplies, like fabric, yarn, paper crafts, patterns and much more! Here are just a few things I'd love from Craftsy in addition to the kits.



These two fabrics are knits, they would be perfect for cool summer skirts or even maxi dresses. I know my daughter would love them both. She would probably even want capri legging in the blue arrowhead knit. Craftsy fabrics are sold in 2-4 yard cuts, perfect for all of your sewing needs!

As for their yarn, oh the merino wool yarn looks so soft and comfy! I can only begin to imagine all of the wonderful things I could crochet with their yarns!



And I could continue to go on about the craft supplies, kits and patterns (and more) that Craftsy offers, but you're not here to read a novel. Hopefully through out the year you can check back on my blog and I'll have been able to try out some of these amazing products! In the mean time, be sure to check out Craftsy and all of the amazing things they offer!

Guest Post: 7 Holiday Facts You Didn't Know!

Holiday Facts You Didn't Know

 Disclosure: This is a guest post. I have not been compensated for this post nor am I the author of the article.

by Aleksandre McMenamin

There are many different holidays that are celebrated around the world, especially during the Winter. Each of these holidays comes from a wide variety of different cultures with different principles and practices. Due to the cultural diversity of the holiday season, there is a wide variety of interesting information that pertains to these holidays. Here’s some fun holiday facts that you might not have know...

Christmas

 Christmas, as you know, is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in the world. Celebrated on December 25th, the holiday derives from the celebration of the Messiah Jesus of Nazareth, or the Christ, as he is commonly known, according to the Christian religion. However, the holiday today is largely a mix of secular and religious tradition. Here’s some things you may not have known about Christmas.

1. December 25th doesn’t actually refer to the birth of Christ

There is actually no biblical mention December 25th found in any religious text. It’s actually far more likely that Jesus was born sometime closer to April, according to Christian scholars. The date of December 25th was actually chosen by the first Pope of the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Constantine. Many believe that the date was chosen to coincide with Saturnalia, the Pagan celebration of Saturn, so that it would be easier for Pagan communities to convert their traditions to Christianity.

2. Coca Cola gave us Santa Claus

Well, not actually the man himself, but the popular image of him. While Santa Claus is based on the eponymous patron saint, the modern incarnation of Santa Claus was actually created by Coca Cola. The red coat and great white beard, along with the jolly hat, were first seen in a 1930s ad campaign by Coca Cola.

3. Christmas is most popular in America

This one may not be as surprising, but America is, by far, the country with the most Christmas celebrations. In particular, however, this is especially true for small towns throughout America. This make a lot of sense, as the traditional view of Christmas in America is often rooted in the small-town aesthetic throughout the country. For more information about how small towns in America celebrate the holiday, check out this post here.

Hanukkah

Hanukkah is a tradition Jewish holiday that is celebrated in December. Specifically, the holiday starts on the 25th day of Kislev, which isn’t based on the modern calendar. Because of this, the holiday starts on different dates in December every year. Hanukkah lasts eight days.

1. Hanukkah was started by a war

Back in biblical times, there was a great war between the ancient Greeks, who had invaded Jerusalem, and the Maccabees, who were ancient Talmudic worshippers. The Maccabees eventually defeated the Greeks in urban warfare, and recaptures the holy temple in Jerusalem. After the war, the Maccabees lit a menorah to celebrate their victory. While they only had enough oil for one day, the menorah supposedly lasted for eight days, which is why Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days.

2. Cheese is symbolically eaten during Hanukkah

Cheese is eaten, frequently, throughout the time of Hanukkah. This is done in remembrance of a separate event from the war of the Maccabees. However, it is still one that is rooted in the violent defense of worship. The legend goes that a Jewish girl named Judith saved her village from Assyrian invaders. She did this by offering herself to the Assyrian general, Holofernes. She fed him an abundance of cheese and wine, causing him to eventually become heavily inebriated. The girl then took his sword and beheaded the general. After doing so, she took his head away from the scene and back to her village. Upon seeing their headless leader, the Assyrians fled the area.

Kwanzaa

 Kwanzaa is a holiday celebration of African heritage that relates to no specific religion or culture, as Africa contains many unique religious beliefs and languages. It is meant to be a celebration of Pan-African ideology. Kwanzaa is celebrated between December 26th and January 1st.

1. Kwanzaa is not that old

The holiday is actually not even 50 years old, yet. Kwanzaa was originally created in 1966 by a man named Dr. Maulana Karenga. He created the holiday in order to celebrate African culture and Heritage. This is why the official colors of Kwanzaa are Red, Black, and Green, which are also colors of the Pan-African movement. The dates coincide with the African harvest celebrations, as well.

2. Seven is a symbolic number for Kwanzaa

There are seven different principles that are celebrated during Kwanzaa. These include unity, self-determination, collective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Each of these principles is connected with seven corresponding symbols. This is why there are seven days of Kwanzaa.
