Well it is August 25th, in seven days it will be September. We all know what Semptember means, don't we? It means back to school or for some of you back to work with no more sunny holidays. Winter well soon be were so ther will be no more playing outside in the sun.
Even though the hot sun well be gone we crafters can have a up side. When you are knitting it warms you up. You may not be able to do it out side like you did in these last four months, but you can be in your house on a comfy arm chair, wrapped in a warm blanket, with a stiming cup of coco, and doing your favorite craft.
Even though Summer is coming to an end you can still look forward to all that and Christmas will come soon too. So you will have even more of a reason to craft. Because I always find that the best reason to craft is that you are making it for someone.

Great Craft Sites
As you already now I loving almost every kind of craft. And with loving crafts so much you got to know the right sites to go to. I myself have four sites that are great for craft people a great for meeting other crafters.
First off if you want to find knitting patterns I think you should go to www.KnittingPatternCentral.com for it has everything on knitting and 100's of knitting patterns. From Bags, Totes and Purses to Barbie Fashion. If you don't knit though, but have a pasion for crochet then you would love www.CrochetPatternCentral.com . You can find all kinds of patterns, just as many as you would find in Knitting Pattern Central.
My two last sites are mostly for talking. The first one is www.craftbubble.com which is just a wonderful site. You can meet so many people all over the world that like crafts just as much as you do. So if you want to meet new friends then sing up. If you already are then hay look up youngcrafter and add me to your friends list.
My next one is www.ravelry.com where you can put down your projects your working on and say how far you are. You basicly take about and do things that involve your projects, but it is still fun to go on sometimes.

Mother's Day
The day that mothers wait all year around for is coming up in two days. Oh no you say, we'll then you must be that one kid in your family that always forgets. No, you say. Well you must be the other one that wants to get your mother something that she will treasure, keep, and use forever. Well all mothers love nothing more then something that was made by none other then by your hands and love. Thats why knowing how to crochet, knit, cross stitch, or even card making comes in hand when mothers day comes around the corner.
Me I am making my mom a card with a cross stitch picture on the front. It's Fizzy Moon Mothers Day kit people!
