Welcome to the Everyday Holidays Craftalong for Spring 2024!

Runs April 1st through June 30th

Thank you for your patience with my disappearance for the month of March. I hope to create an Everyday Holidays craftalong modeled after the Nerd Games, more or less, going forward. So it’ll be one “games” round for every 3 months going forward.

I hope you join me in finding inspiration to craft, celebrate, and learn something new each day.

What is the Everyday Holidays Craftalong?

The Everyday Holidays craftalong is a place to be inspired to create anything you want, using "everyday holidays’ for inspiration.

How to Join

Simply create any craft inspired by any holiday listed and post pictures in this craftalong. You are encouraged to also post on the main forum and/or in other craftalongs. Please post using the header below:

Holiday Inspiration: [write the name of the holiday that inspired your craft]
Project Name: [Title your project anyway you would like]
Project Link: [If you posted on the main forum, feel free to enter the link here]
Project Description: [Tell us anything about your project, like how it’s related to the holiday inspiration, and/or how you made it.]
Project Photos: [Post photos of your craft below, so we can cheer you on!]

Please note that you do not have to create/post your craft on the actual day of any holiday. As long as the holiday happens within the 3-month period, you can post it.

The Points

I’m keeping things simple for now. You get 1 point for each project you post here and 1 point of reach comment you make on someone else’s project. You don’t have to make individual posts to get points. Each project and comment counts as a point even if it’s posted all together.

I may at some point adapt the point system of the nerd games, but I think we’ll need to grow our participant base first. Let me know your thoughts; I’m open to ideas!

The Rules

There are very few rules in this craftalong.

• All Lettuce Craft Community Guidelines apply.
• You can post any project based on any holiday listed for the 3-month period any time during that period. Projects do not have to be posted on the day of the holiday.
• “Everyday Holidays” can seem like an overwhelming concept, because there are so many of them. The point is to inspire you to create, celebrate, and learn something new each day. Please don’t feel like you need to create something for every holiday. Create based on what speaks to you.
• Projects created for any other craftalong or contest can be double-posted here, please just make sure to connect it to one of the holidays for the 3-month period.
• Please contact me anytime with questions, concerns, or suggestions.
• I’m very new to hosting a craftalong, so I would appreciate any suggestions or a heads up if anything I’m doing here doesn’t work within Lettuce Craft.

Happy celebrating, learning, and creating!

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

Participant Tracking

For now, we’re not going to have teams. As we gather more participants, this may change. I’ll keep track of participants here. As soon as you’ve posted your first project, you’re entered as a participant, and you’ll be listed here, along with your points, so you can see them in real time. Comments also give you points, but you must post a project before being listed as a participant. Your comment points will be added from your first comment once you’ve posted a project.

Participant List & Points Tracking

Participant: @LindyBlues Points: 1

Project Photos: [Post photos of your craft below, so we can cheer you on!]

Prizes

I’ll be crafting a few things to send to the winner of the games.
Because I’m in Canada and shipping can be quite costly, the prize items will be paper-based.
I’ll post a picture once I’m finished creating them. Please stay tuned.

Resources & Ideas for April Holidays & Observations

Please note:

I compiled these links many years ago for a different site. As such, some links may be outdated or broken. If you find any such links, please let me know, and I’ll remove them.

Other than some occasional links to my own blogs, which I’ll make an effort to identify, I’m not associated with any links, companies, blogs, etc. I’m just offering them here because I think they’re useful for learning about the given holiday or observation.

I don’t have links for every single holiday, but I’ll try to add more as the years go by.

		Good rule of thumb: if your pee is clear to light yellow you’re well hydrated. If your pee is very dark yellow, you need to hydrate more. The actual amount of liquids you need to drink varies greatly depending on how much you’re exercising, the temperature and humidity of your environment, whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, and the types of food you’re eating. So better than any guidelines on how much do drink is checking your urine and adjusting your intake accordingly.

Holiday Inspiration: Chocolate Mousse Day
Project Name: Tofu Chocolate Mousse
Project Link:
Project Photos:

Happy Chocolate Mousse Day!

I made tofu chocolate mousse with my 9-year-old tonight. I only had extra-firm tofu, so the texture is grainy, but it still tastes good. I recommend making it with silken tofu if you try it out. Having said that, I don’t have a recipe, because I always eyeball this. But it took a whole block of tofu, probably about 2/3 of a cup of maple syrup, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, and probably about 1/3 cup chocolate soy milk. I usually use plain soy milk for this, but I happened to have chocolate-flavoured one, so why not

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

For this craftalong, you’re also welcome to simply post about how you’re celebrating things, even if they don’t involve a craft. Those posts and replies don’t count for points, but will make this thread more lively .

Also, please feel free to post about birthdays, anniversaries, and other events not mentioned here.

Holiday Inspiration: Garden Month
Project Name: Flower Envelopes
Project Link: Envelopes from cool book pages
Project Description:

It’s still not past last frost here, so true gardening is not yet possible outdoors. In the meantime, here are some flower/garden-inspired envelopes:

[endymion (Pam 🇺🇸 (she/her))]

Those are gorgeous! I hope to participate more in this thread next month when my life calms down a bit.

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

I’ve been really neglecting this craftalong… but I really do want to do it. I’m going to try to add the June holidays later on today, and hopefully add some of my crafts also. We shall see…

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

I finally added the May & June Holidays, and I’m working on a template for all 4 quarters. I’ll post some projects soon!

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

Happy Leon Day!

Leon is Noel spelled backwards. Leon day is the day all of us crafters should start working on any handmade gifts we plan on giving people for Christmas. I intend on getting started on the hardcover notebooks I’ll make for my husband and kiddos.

What gifts will you start making this week?

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

I’m slowly adding the resources for the month of June and hope to do the same for all of the months this season. I’ll then use this as a template for the next years.

I’ll also attempt to add more ideas for crafts. I hope you join me in using Everyday Holidays to learn something new each day and/or as inspiration for your creativity

[PrincessP (Lauren 🇦🇺)]

Hi @LindyBlues I’m just discovering your craftalong and it sounds like fun! You’ve gathered so many ideas

To clarify, can I post anything that I have made here so long as it can link to one of the things you’ve posted for April - June? Or does it have to be made closer to the actual date? I realise that we’re nearly at the end of June

[LindyBlues (Mariana [she/hers] 🇨🇦)]

Hello @PrincessP! You can post anything that is even remotely related to any of the holidays in the season posted (in this thread’s case, April-June)!

The idea is to learn something new, have fun, and be inspired

And you’re encouraged to re-post things you’ve already posted in other craftalongs, too!

I’m still updating links and such, but I hope to post some projects soon, too!

I used to run “Everyday Holidays” challenge on a different site, so I already had the links compiled. The work has just been to format it properly for here
