FAQs National Crafting Month March 2021

National Crafting Month FAQs

Is there a National Craft Day?

It’s impossible to do all of your crafting in a single day, which is why we celebrate National Crafting Month every March.

What is the National Month of March?

March is home to a large array of springtime holidays, check them out here.

What’s the difference between crafting and fine art?

The way we see it, fine art is more unstructured and open-ended, expressing an abstract idea or a feeling or set of feelings. In basic terms, it deals with intangibles. Crafting, on the other hand, revolves around the creation of a useful object or item through eye-hand coordination and technique.

In March, it’s the end of winter and a great time to blossom outward into National Crafting Month to show what you’ve been making by hand during the short, cold days of the season past.

Admittedly, the word “crafting” covers a whole lot of territory. At one time, the word “craft” was synonymous with “trade,” meaning skilled labor in a particular area, such as weaving, engine repair, carpentry, etc. It was not uncommon for guilds to be founded based upon a shared set of skills in these and other areas of production. But in current times we’ve come to understand that “crafting” refers to those skills practiced more creatively and with a vision unique to each artisan. Some examples are knitting and crocheting, scrapbooking, leatherworking, wood burning, fly tying, jewelry making, anything created by hand that has an artistic aspect to it but is not strictly “fine art.”

So this month, if you’ve been too busy to focus on your favorite craft, set aside some time and energy and see what you can come up with. You may even want to devote a number of hours to dabbling in a craft other than your favorite.

Gryffindor Pride Day 2021

When money is seen as a solution for every problem, money itself becomes the problem.

Richard J. Needham

There are days when the darkness is on us like the sun of hope has eclipsed itself against the moon of adversity, and in those moments it seems like in the end darkness will genuinely triumph. If you are one of those who sees this challenge, pulls together your courage, and charges into the fray to bring the light of hope back to your friends and loved ones, or just because it’s the right thing to do, then Gryffindor Pride Day is for you.

History of Gryffindor Pride Day

Gryffindors are some of the bravest, most heroic, selfless people you’ll ever meet. To them, the whole world is just one great big opportunity to sacrifice themselves in the most glorious way so that they’ll be remembered for all time. Alright, put it that way, maybe they’ve got a bit of an ego problem, but we won’t hold that against them.

In all seriousness, if you’re ever in a bind, whether that’s being hunted by the Dark Lord or broke down on the side of the road, it’s a Gryffindor you’re going to want to call. No matter what they’re doing, they’re going to drop it all to come and help save you from your troubles.

So when Gryffindor Pride Day comes around be sure to honor all your favorite Gryffindor friends, or if you’re a Slytherin trick them into some foolish heroic that will undoubtedly result in their untimely, but completely memorable, demise.

How to celebrate Gryffindor Pride Day

When you’re preparing to celebrate Gryffindor Pride Day you can fall back on that old standby; the House themed cake. From there you may want to get a little more inventive.

Since you’re tanked up on all that sugar, it’s time to make some foam and duct-tape swords and go out back and play in the yard! Following that it’s time for the obligatory Harry Potter marathon, and, of course, when celebrating Gryffindor Pride Day.

Don’t let Gryffindor Pride Day pass by without thanking those amazing people in your life that are always your hero when you need them.

Timeline National Grapefruit Month February 2021

National Grapefruit Month timeline

1940's

Grapefruit origins discovered.

The true origins of the grapefruit are finally uncovered, leading to a revision of its scientific name to Citrus × paradisi.

1823

Grapefruit arrives in Florida.

French nobleman Count Odet Philippe introduces the grapefruit to Florida near Tampa Bay.

1750

Grapefruit first identified.

Originally known as “the forbidden fruit,” grapefruit is first documented by Rev. Griffith Hughes, a Welsh naturalist and writer.

It’s the dog days of winter, so why not brighten up the relentless gray with a splash of color? Maybe ruby red – or perhaps oro blanco (white gold).

We’re talking about grapefruit, of course. And just in time, too. February is National Grapefruit Month, a good reminder for us to consider the health and nutritional benefits of one of the world’s most beloved fruits. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, grapefruits are grown all over the world, with China, the United States and Mexico as the world’s leading producers.

Freethinkers Day 2021

Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.

Hans Selye

Freethinkers Day falls on the birthday of Thomas Paine, a prominent thinker whose work and publications promoting a philosophy of Enlightenment heavily influenced the course of the American and French revolutions.

Embrace Freethinkers Day by challenging arbitrary authority, questioning the status quo, and constructing logical and reasonable arguments against engrained behaviour.

FAQs No-Shave November November 2020

No-Shave November FAQs

Can I get a haircut during No Shave November?

Yes, if you can’t grow a beard then you can get a haircut at the beginning of the month and let it grow all wild throughout No-Shave November to show your support. 

 

Is it no shave November or Movember?

It is both. No-Shave November is a US-based charity supporting the same causes as Movember. The only difference is Movember is about growing out a specific mustache, No-Shave November is about simply not shaving at all. 

 

Can you grow a beard for Movember?

No one will stop you, but Movember is about mustaches. No-Shave November is more appropriate for a beard. 

 

Do I have to shave my beard for Movember?

Yes. You have to start with a clean face on November 1 to participate in Movember. 

 

What is No-Shave November?

No-Shave November seeks to grow awareness — not to mention hair-ness — about cancer. The organizers want people to embrace their hair, which many cancer patients lose, and to let it grow — as the holiday’s originators say — “wild and free.” No-Shave November is a fun and creative way to remind folks that many of our friends and neighbors struggle every day with the disease and with efforts to fight it. Moreover, organizers also encourage participants to donate the money they’d normally spend on hair care to cancer support and educational organizations.

 

History of No-Shave November

No-Shave November was created in 2009, two years after the passing of Matthew Hill who struggled with colorectal cancer during the month of November in 2007. He and his family had already adopted the practice of not shaving during the month of November and donating the expenses typically used on razors and shaving cream to charities that support research into illnesses such as prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer among others. 

 

The idea of using facial hair to create awareness during November started in 2003 in Australia with a group of friends who coined the term, “Movember,” in reference to how they will be growing out their mustaches and collecting money for mens’ health charities during that month. The Movember Foundation and No-Shave November are two separate entities, but they are both supporting and call for the same thing – stop shaving (or grow a mustache) during the month of November to spread awareness and donate to these types of charities. 

 

In the past decade and a half that the two charities have been around they’ve been able to raise millions of dollars in support of charities that research prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer prevention.

Pizza Month 2020

What's interesting about Stephen Baldwin is that me and Dana Gould were originally cast for 'Bio-Dome' - but Pauly Shore and Baldwin ended up doing it. So there's a little movie trivia for ya.

Harland Williams

Truer words have, perhaps, never been spoken. Pizza is a wonderful thing, and there’s really no such thing as bad pizza, even the worst pizza is still pretty good. Pizza has been around for an incredibly long time, the word itself going back as far as 997 AD in southern Italy.

Pizza Month gives you an entire month to celebrate this amazing food, and more than ample time to try it in all its variations and permutations.

History of Pizza Month

The History of Pizza Month is, in part, the history of Pizza. Pizza Month was originally created by Gerry Durnell in October 1984, publisher of Pizza Today, a magazine dedicated to this delicious pie! The Pizza was likely derived from Focaccia bread, a roman flatbread commonly served with toppings. From that time moving forward there have been developments that slowly led to the wonderful comfort food we all know and love as pizza.

Now, this doesn’t mean that it was a straight line, mind you, not at all. Some say that Roman soldiers created the first pizza when they added cheese and olive oil to Matzah bread. But one thing is known for certain, pizza as we know it today came into being as a result of the discovery of the tomato in the Americas, and its return to Europe in the 16th century.

So where did the pizza begin? The pizza as a flatbread with a tomato sauce started in Naples, and quickly became popular. Until the 1830’s it was almost exclusively sold from open-air stands and out of pizza bakeries, a tradition which is largely followed even today.

One other fun piece of trivia is the source of the ‘marinara’ sauce that is the traditional tomato sauce. Have you ever wondered why it’s called marinara? Because it was created by “La Marinara” the mariner’s wife, to serve to her seafaring husband upon return from fishing the Bay of Naples.

How to celebrate Pizza Month

If we have to encourage you to go out and eat all the pizza you can get your hands on this month, we’re not entirely certain that Pizza Month is for you. Who needs encouragement to celebrate this month? Well, if you’re wanting to truly honor the pizza, then it’s time to try some new toppings on your pizza and experience the full range of what the pizza can be! Go out, try something new, and enjoy pizza!

To celebrate Pizza Month, we have special activities and deals!
