So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Crafting What You Craft Best in Connecticut

By Ellaine Towers

Hobbies are a great way to relax oneself. Some enjoy being in the kitchen and coming up with various ways to improve on dishes and such. Some prefer knitting and sewing as a way to pass the time peacefully. And some, too, enjoy working with wood, creating all sorts of sculptures that can be featured in and around the house. But why not take it a step further and make it profitable by joining a crafts and trade fair or festival? Besides sharing your talents with others, you would be able to earn a bit from it, too.

So, how do you join such an event? You would need to find out how to go about this first by asking questions like what fairs and festivals are open for you to join or when would the next one be held so you could have enough time to prepare. You would need a reliable source of information if you wanted to get questions like these answered. One that is able to understand your query and answer your question in a snap.

One excellent source of that information is people. Networking efficiently with many people who know their way through participating in events such as those would definitely be a must-do to get the information you need. But that requires legwork and much hassle on your part. What if you can't afford to take pains to do that?

Thankfully, there are databases available for you to make use of. There are databases of crafts and trade fairs and festivals available for every state in the country. And for Connecticut, there is even a handy calendar for your use. Joining in crafting fairs and festivals is a wonderful way to share your passion. And it also doubles as a profitable little business. Surely everyone would appreciate good home-grown talent in various crafts, whether it reveals itself in the comfort of a handmade sweater or the beauty of crocheted handiwork. Who knows, maybe because of your work, you could be known at your local community.

Joining a service that helps you keep track of all these events would surely make everything easier. Being able to plan months ahead of time for whatever fair you're planning to participate would be a great asset to you. Your hobby will still stay as relaxing as it always should be when all runs well.
