St. Patrick’s Day Sewing Ideas
This is a holiday that is near and dear to my heart because my husband is half Irish. His last name, Irby, in fact means “settlement of the Irish”.
So in my household, this is a holiday that never goes without celebrating even if it’s a year in which we don’t decorate, dress up, or throw a party. So what do we do to celebrate in those “I’m too busy to get out the decorations or do anything special” years?
At the very least we wear green and make a traditional Irish dinner like Irish Guinness stew and soda bread, but, I have to admit, decorating is so much more fun!
If you like to decorate, dress up, or throw theme parties then this roundup will definitely give you some great DIY ideas on to how to spread the luck of the Irish throughout your home this St. Patrick’s Day!
And guess what? They are all FREE! What could be luckier than that?

Hi Rebecca,
I have responded to your email already. It appears that the entire Clever Little Mouse website is down. I do not know if this is a temporary glitch or if the website owner has taken down her website. I have sent her an email regarding this issue and I will let you know as soon as I hear back from her.
Thank you so much for alerting me to this issue!
Sincerely,
RaeLynn
