Everyday Holidays Craftalong February 2024

Dannnnng! You should get a point just for assembling these lists! Ooof!

Every Sunday, I get an email with a list of these kinds of holidays for the upcoming week and sometimes one will inspire TheMisterT to make a meal based on one of them or me a dessert. I’ll post when/if we do!

Thank you :heart:

I had pre-assembled these lists for a different site that I no longer participate in for various reasons.

It does take some work to adapt the spreadsheets for posting here, but I enjoy the process :heart:

Happy Groundhog Day!

For groundhog day, my husband and I are having a movie date night at home and watching… Groundhog Day!

I may or may not try to draw a groundhog later. We shall see :slight_smile:

My husband and I also plan to watch that movie this evening. It’s one of my favorites.

:tada: Happy Periodic Table Day! :test_tube:

As I will be doing periodically, (pun completely intended), I have added more resources and ideas for our celebrations.

I’ve added these until February 10th. I’ll return soon to add more.

Today is also send a card to a friend day… the perfect day to finish off those ATCs for January’s swap or to start working on February ones :slight_smile:

:pizza: Happy Pizza Day!

Today’s a great day to indulge in cheesy goodness. You could just order some pizza and take a break from all the cooking, or you could try to make your own and use a pasta sauce recipe that’s been shared on Lettuce Craft before, like this pizza sauce from @geekgirl, or this one shared by @lovelymiss.

You could try a pizza craft, inspired by this felt “pizza party” shared by @AIMR, or admire this adorable short order pizza cook by @Harlan.

And if you love pizza but can’t have cheese, this thread has some great discussion about potential substitutions.


What do you think of sharing previous links like this as suggestions for celebrations? Is it OK to share them?

Thank you for any input!

SO nice that Pizza Day is Friday, because TheMisterT makes pizza every Friday. Not sure exactly what he has going to tonight’s dinner, but I know I bought fresh okra for it at the store yesterday.

I love the idea that you shared links to other posts on the site!

Thank you for including my short order pizza cook!! He will be pleased!!
I think it is fun to share pervious projects! We’re a pretty prolific group so it is easy to sort of forget about what’s gone before. This is a great way to refresh people’s memory and enjoyment! :smiley:

Yay! I’m so glad you like the inclusion of links for previous projects! It’s a great way for me to explore the site more, too :two_hearts:

Happy Pulses Day!

How about making some delicious food to celebrate? Here are just some recipes for inspiration:

Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit…

Tarragon and bean stew (vegan) by @Annchen

Refried Beans by @geekgirl

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burgers by @megwell

Lemon and Herb White Bean Spread by @MistressJennie


Lentils, Lentils, Lentils

Not feeling the beans? How about trying some lentil recipes instead?

This delicious red lentil soup by yours truly is always a success at our house. It also happens to be vegan.

Here’s another vegan recipe—Mediterranean Red Lentil Soup by @MistressJennie

Need more meat than just pulses in your life? Try this Lentil Chicken Curry Soup by @LaughingCat.

Here are the feeding tube pads I made for Feeding Tube Awareness week.

Those are great!! Very cheerful!!

My husband had a feeding tube for some while when he was in the hospital that I eventually designed and made harness (for lack of a better word) to hold it in place and with less discomfort to his nose. Nurses thought I should have patented it.
Eventually my husband got fed up with the whole thing and asked to just let him drink the stuff (which he could manage).

Beautiful, useful, and thoughtful. These are great :heart:.


For creative romance month, I’ve decided to have a living room picnic with my husband. I’m going to surprise him with a bottle of wine and these:

If they turn out, I’ll share the recipe on the main site later :heart: :strawberry: :chocolate_bar: :heart:
