Holidays *by Hand*

I’m so excited to be announcing a joint project that I’m collaborating on with five other life bloggers.

Holidays *by hand* is the brainchild of Ann from One Bag Nation and Vintage Mommy. She had the brilliant idea of launching a craft carnival, highlighting handmade crafts for the holidays.

The carnival will be held for six weeks, each week a different theme and hosted by a different blogger. The six themes begin on November 4th at Simple Mom with Sewing, then November 11th is paper crafts at Small Notebook, November 18th is ribbons, thread and embroidery here at Almost Frugal, One of Three is hosting knitting on November 25th, Gidget Goes Home is quilting holiday projects on December 2nd and Ann of the aforementioned inspiration is wrapping it all up with food on December 9th.

The host blogger will present a project in her theme as well as a collection of links to other craft projects. And you! We’d be delighted if you would play along. If you have a craft that you would like to contribute, please contact the appropriate person from the schedule.

I think this project is a perfect example of how networking and building relationships with your peers can really pay off. We’re a motley but talented bunch (I’m motley, they’re talented!). I’ll be posting holiday crafts on Wednesday and Friday as part of my contribution to Holidays *by hand* so stay tuned, or better yet subscribed, so as not to miss a thing!
