This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2015 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here on FaveCrafts. Each blogger was then sent a box filled with new craft products from the company sponsors. They set out to make projects from these new products and we were blown away by the results. We’re featuring these fantastic projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.

I love to bite off more than I can chew. Right now, I almost have a 5″ hoop filled on a complicated nativity I’m doing on 28 count fabric, stitching over 2 threads. Had to get stronger reading glasses for this one. It came as a kit so I took some time out to organize my supplies better after I started and just couldn’t find the incentive to go back to it. I’ve used those glasses to do some tatting instead. But I will complete it! Some day.
