Happy New Year!

I hope you're ready to make some positive changes this year to keep you happy and motivated to keep crafting!  Here is something I found to help you out with that.

15+ Ways to Enhance Your Day:
Get up early.
Look around outside before going to work.
Relax and enjoy your meals.
Spend time with friends (at Saturday Crafters).
Pace yourself.
Find a quiet place to go to.
Praise yourself and others.
Develop positive relationships.
See your mistakes as stepping stones.
Keep track of your own moods so you can watch out for them.
Say "No" without feeling guilty.
Learn effective time management.
Pay attention to health, diet and sleep.
Exercise regularly.
Keep from comparing yourself to others.
And most importantly, spend time daily in the Lords's Word and prayer.

Here is a January Kindness Calendar from the Action for Happiness people. Check out www.actionforhappiness.org 

Here is what was going on in December at Saturday Crafters - I forgot to take pictures of our pot luck, but there was lots of good food and tasty treats!

Paper pieced Christmas trees by Marie and Jodie

Too cute!

Saturday Crafters - December 16th 10am -3pm

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

And that means it's time for a pot luck lunch at Saturday Crafters this month!  Bring your favourite dish or dessert and share in the spirit of the holiday season.

Did you take a look at the Kindness Calendar I sent out last week?  Did you notice that on December 16th it says to "make a card or decoration for someone special" - I've got you covered!  I have a pattern for a small paper pieced Christmas tree that could be used as a post card, decoration or a mug rug.  I have not made this before, but if you'd like to join me in trying, let me know and I'll send you the instructions to print off.  You will only need small amounts of green and white fabric - it only measures 6" x 6".

Check out what was being created last month at Saturday Crafters:

Saturday Crafters - November 18th 10am-3pm

There is a definite chill in the air and that can only mean one thing - CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!

If you plan on making a handmade gift, you better get started and we have a spot saved for you at Saturday Crafters this month to do just that!

Come join us and take a look at what we were creating last month!

Ruth working on a tree skirt and Jodie didn't know whether to quilt or knit!
