Happy April, dear readers. I’m back from my no-blogging spring break, and I must say, the break did me a world of good. I’m back with creative ideas flowing. Today’s post is one of those fateful things. My daughter gave me a gift, which happened to be part of a Gen Z trend of analog hobbies, and I thought, I’ve been enjoying several analog hobbies forever, I should share them on the blog! I’ll start with five hobbies today.

As much as I’ve wished away some parts of this year, I’m
happy to see fall arrive. I love this time of year! October finds me winding things down outside
in the garden and soon enough, I’ll be turning my attention to indoor evening
activities. I can remember my Mom used to do needlepoint and embroidery almost
exclusively in the fall and winter months. While she did her best to teach me
to embroidery pieces as well as she did, my stiches were always rudimentary,
beginner level. I regretted not learning
this craft so I could teach my daughters, so when Fox Chapel Publishing invited
me to review this book, I happily agreed, so I can better my skills and help my
daughters learn how to embroidery animals too!
Cute Critters!
What will you create in National Crafting Month?
in #AD, #crafts, baking, cooking, embroidery, entertainment, handmade, jewelry, online learning, woodworking, by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, March 02, 2020
It all started innocently enough on Friday evening. I
entered a cool giveaway on Instagram for a wonderful craft prize bundle to
celebrate March National Crafting Month. I entered and naturally shared the
love with a couple of my crafty friends. One of these friends direct messaged
me to ask what I’m going to create this month. Great question I said! Because, it
seriously is a great question. I may make a new spring wreath, or new garden
stakes and plant markers, or I could finally allow myself to set aside the time
to learn a new craft like crewel embroidery like my Mom used to do. Or maybe I’ll
make a simple pastel flower garland to brighten our hearth and welcome spring.
The possibilities are truly endless thanks to all the fun classes available
with Bluprint!
