Great site. You should host in other countries - i.e. UK. Get the world involved!

Thanks for your comment Liz. According to Wikipedia, St. Brigid's day is February 1st. And while that's a great day to make a Brigid's cross, so is St. Patrick's Day. She was one of the patron saints of Ireland after all.

Not really seeing how these are eco-crafts....also, most look like an adult would have to do a lot of the work, cutting out pieces of paper, felt, etc.
St. Brigit's Day is February 1 or 2, not March 17. The cross is traditional for St. Brigit's Day, not St. Patrick's Day.
