This week is my 4th Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. Each day this week I will be sharing a favorite book and pairing it with a craft project inspired by the book. A lot of the books I have shared in this series are books from my childhood, books that I remember reading and loving. Others are favorites of my kids, books that have helped them gain a love of reading. The book that I chose for the first project this year is one that I read as a kid- The Secret Garden.

Today is March 1st, and that means it is time for another bear. This is the 3rd bear in the Bear of the Month Crochet Along and the March Bear was actually inspired by a bear I made a few years ago. I didn't want to repeat that bear exactly, just in a smaller size so I changed it up a little bit.  But without further ado, this month's bear is...

Friday Five: 5 Projects to Make for St. Patrick's Day

  


With Valentine's Day over it is time to start thinking about Spring, Easter, and St. Patrick's Day, and since St. Patrick's Day is the next of those to come I decided that for today's Friday Five I would share 5 projects that you can make for St. Patrick's Day.

A few years ago I made a little Christmas Gnome with long striped legs and when I made it I thought it would be fun to make in different colors for different holidays. Like I said, that was a few years ago and I never did anything more with it, but this year I decided to make a little St. Patrick's Day gnome.

Valentine's Day is only a few days away so I am going to squeeze in one last printable card set with just enough time to print them out and get some little toys or treats to go along with them if you want.

Every year before Valentine's Day I like to share some printable valentine cards that can be paired with inexpensive little gifts. I always choose some small, non-food items, and try to keep them pretty cheap so that it is something affordable to get for an entire class. My goal is to keep it under $1 per item, but many times it is way cheaper than that.

A couple days ago was Groundhog's Day and apparently Punxsutawney Phil says we will have 6 more weeks of winter, but here in Utah it feels like winter hasn't even started yet so it doesn't feel very likely here. Since it hasn't felt like winter I feel like I have had a hard time getting excited about making winter stuff. But I have made some hats that I want to share, starting with this pattern that I am posting today.
