For me, music has a way of highlighting certain memories in
my mind. I can hear a song and instantly tie it to some moment in my life. So
many artists are like that for me, so I want to do a series where I look at how
Celtic music and musicians have influenced my life, and how they show up in
even the smallest ways.
Irish musician Enya is one of those artists who is there,
but she has a bit of a quiet yet strong presence to her. She is there in subtle ways, but she
is not trying to outdo anyone or take away from what everyone else is doing.
She is doing her own thing and rocking it.
The puns in this book are glorious. I am someone who is
obsessed with making silly puns and jokes, so I really appreciated this book for
that reason alone. They were natural and creative without feeling too forced.
More than 12 million crayons are manufactured each day. When these crayons break, people tend to throw them away. However, they end up in landfills, and crayons take several years to biodegrade. Luckily (pun not intended), there are ways to make melted crayons. While this method works with any kind of mold or even a muffin tin, I am using a shamrock silicone mold.
Making your own mugs is a creative way to make something fun, festive, and practical. You can make it Celtic-themed. I decided to go with Ireland because I have ancestors from Ireland, but if you are super talented at drawing (unlike me), you can do anything from a country to Celtic knotwork. The possibilities are as endless as your creativity! Be careful- many plastic ones are unable to be used in the microwave or dishwasher.
-Mug that you can design yourself
-Paper
-Drawing supplies
-Stickers (optional)
-Clear ornament (any size)
-Filler (I used scrap fabric)
-Stickers
While St. Patrick’s Day is not typically a gift-giving holiday, if someone in your life is especially in love with this day, you may opt to give them a gift. However, St. Patrick’s Day bags, or bags that have Celtic designs on them in general, can be difficult to find. Luckily, it is not difficult to make your own bag!
