Spring is Nature’s way of saying “Let’s party!” —Robin Williams

Spring in the air and I am very ready for spring to come. I can’t wait for the sun to shine, the flowers to bloom, and to put away my boots and rain coats. It’s a time of rebirth, a time of enjoying the great outdoors and breathe in that clean spring air. And it’s March, which in case you didn’t know, is National Craft Month!

Created by the Craft & Hobby Association in 1994, it was designed to help people learn about and re-discover the joy of crafting and all its many benefits. It’s the perfect excuse to indulge in all things crafty.

What can you do to celebrate?

• One of the best ways is to teach someone to knit or crochet—everyone can benefit from taking up knitting and crocheting.
• Finish one of those knit or crochet projects you have hiding in the closet. You’ll really feel like celebrating when it’s done.
• Wear your handmade creations. Make a gifts for your friends.
• Learn to do a new stitch or try a new yarn and post it on your blog.
• Enjoy seeing and sharing with other knitters and crocheters. Join an on-line group with people who enjoy yarn.
• Throw a National Craft Month Party.
• Share with your crochet and knitting friends My Little CityGirl blog and the deal, I’m offering.
