May the Road Rise Up to Meet You!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Craftheads!

I hope you're starting your day off right...with an Irish Coffee (or a cup of Barry's, I guess...)!

Here are some of this year's St. Patrick's Day Crafts:

Here's a long overdue birthday present for my boyfriend. I gave him the fram right before our trip to Ireland and told him I'd make a scrapbook page of our adventures when we got back. Ok, so it's been almost 8 months, but what better surprise could he get on St. Patrick's Day?

Here's a banner that I recreated from an inspiring craft on pinterest...Each individual flag sports a variety of materials:

We hope you all have a wonderful Saint Patrick's Day!

Saint Patrick was a gentleman,

Who through strategy and stealth,

Drove all the snakes from Ireland,

Here’s a toasting to his health.

But not too many toastings

Lest you lose yourself and then

Forget the good Saint Patrick

And see all those snakes again.

Slainte!

Winter Thaw

Greeting, Craftheads!

Winter still has its icy grip on us and we're in that awkward holiday in-between where crafting can get kind of hazy. As we turn our thoughts toward warmer weather and the part where March goes "out like a lamb," I thought I'd share a Valentine I made with a sort of St. Patrick's Day theme..

My boyfriend and I went to Ireland over the summer and have hopes of returning in the not too distant future, so I crafted this Irish Valentine as a symbol of our love for each other and the Emerald Isle!

Keep cozy, crafters!
