Revealing the Theme - National Hat Month

Hello Readers! Who would have thought that we would have so many things to celebrate in our life time? As I searched these events, I was so shocked at the sheer amount of things to celebrate. Then, I found something that matches the crafting theme so well - National Hat Month!

Yep! National Hat Month seems like the perfect opportunity to make September all about hats. Unfortunately, I found two non-hat weekly themes that prevent this from being a complete hat week. Do not despair! I have tons of hats to share with you this week.

The material list is pretty easy for this week's Make it Monday.

Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn
Size H hook
Scissors
Yarn Needle
Stitch Marker (optional)

See, super easy!.

I did choose to use Caron One Pound Baby in Denim for my hat. I cannot wait to show you the results of my Make it Monday project.

See you tomorrow,
Sarah

Revealing the Theme - Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has become a highly stressful, commercialized holiday where love is treated like an one-day event. Even though I celebrate love throughout the year, I do enjoy having some delicious chocolates. I do not ever expect a gift from my husband or my loved ones. I prefer to just spend time with them. When I do crochet or craft for them, it is usually something that they enjoy.

If you haven't guessed already, this week's theme is Valentine's Day. I have two awesome projects to accomplish and share with you this week. The first project has a material list below.


Materials
Paper cutter
Scissors
Roller tape
Pop dots
Ribbon
Glitter tape
White card stock for card bases
Red and Pink card stock for Layer 1
Pattern paper for layer 2
Small amount of white card stock for stamps
Love themed stamps
Small amount of red and pink card stock for stamp mat
Rhinestones

Revealing the Theme - Barbie

Every Sunday in the year of 2015, I will be releasing a post that shows the theme of the week. The projects presented that week will be following that particular theme. It may follow a particular type of craft. It may be on a particular topic. Or it could end up completely random. What is important is that I will be focusing on a few goals this year to make this blog easier to follow. The 12 Weeks of Christmas format in 2014 was an easy to read, follow, and complete format. That is the general idea.

Goal 1
I want to use all my scraps to make the most of my money and my materials.

Goal 2
I want to finish some of the patterns in my arsenal. Some only need to be typed up!

Goal 3
Have at least three posts every week for my blog.


These are not horrible goals. In fact, they are pretty easy to accomplish. Here's how the blog posts will look like.

Sunday - Release of the Weekly Theme
Monday - Make it Monday, where I will go in-depth on the project
Thursday - Throwback Thursday, where pictures of past projects pop up
Saturday - Another Scrappy Saturday, where I use scraps to do a project
Other days - Releases of patterns or deals

Some of these days may have free patterns. Some may be projects seen on other sites. There will be no set project choice for any week.

The first week of the year actually begins today. The theme is one that I have always enjoyed having.

Barbie

Stay tuned to the following week to see what projects come up. I can provide just one small detail. There will be a free pattern this week.
