12 Days of Crafting coming soon

River Park Square is lighting its Christmas tree tonight and Santa’s making a visit. Every day, I see another house in the neighborhood decorated with lights. Inside my home, the holiday decorations are out of storage and “John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together” has been playing on the stereo for weeks. (“Piggy pudding?!!”)

It’s official, folks. The holidays are here.

Since so many of us are trying to slow down and simplify, I thought it’d be fun to share with all of you some holiday crafts you can either make for your own decorating purposes or create as gifts for others.

If money is tight, don’t fret. Some of these projects will be dirt cheap (or twig cheap, as you can see in the ornaments above).

Starting Dec. 6, I’ll be celebrating The 12 Days of Crafting here on Dwell Well. Each day, there will be a new craft project with instructions on how to make it yourself.

This is just a heads up for now. There’ll be other new content posted on Dwell Well between now and then, but I wanted you to be able to mark your calendar and see a sneak peek of what’s to come.
