Stitching Through the Seasons

Craft Kits for the Seasons

There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to slow down, wrap my hands around a warm cup of tea, and pull out a project. The air turns crisp, leaves begin to fall, and that familiar scent of apple cinnamon seems to linger everywhere. This stretch between September and December is my absolute favourite. It’s about Thanksgiving gatherings, golden leaves, Halloween nights, chilly evenings, twinkle lights, and Christmas decor all wrapped into a fun 4 month period.

Then (depending on where you live), winter arrives with a vengeance bringing snowstorms, ice, wind, and rain. Hibernation suddenly feels very real. I mean, who wants to head outside in all of that?

With the wind howling around your home, it’s the perfect time to settle onto the couch and work on a cozy craft project. When you need a break, open a book for a chapter or two, then return to your stitches. Can I just say? This right here is the perfect evening. It’s about slowing life down for a moment and taking the time to create a handmade gift or a blanket for yourself. It’s turning off the noise of the world and focusing on the calming, rhythmic motion of your stitches.

If you’re looking for a craft kit to keep your hands busy during the winter months, follow the link to take a look. It’s also the perfect time to pick up crocheting or knitting if you’ve been thinking about giving it a try.

Happy Stitching!
