SUMMARY:The Forever Afghan 2024
DESCRIPTION:One phrase that resonated in 2020\, was “We’re in this together”.  As the first wave of COVID subsided in 2020\, Mamba’s Creations created The Forever Afghan to help our community honor the loved ones that had passed.  We are now in our fifth year of this beautiful tradition. \nThe November 1st Day of the Dead holiday (in Spanish referred to as Dia de los Muertos)\, originated in Mexico and celebrates the dead\, rather than being afraid. It’s a holiday for people to honor their ancestors and loved ones who have passed away and invite those spirits back into their homes to be part of the family once more. It’s a celebration of family and a show of respect for those who have passed away.  El Día de los Muertos is not\, as is commonly thought\, a Mexican version of Halloween\, though the two holidays do share some traditions\, including costumes and parades. \nSugar skulls represent a departed soul and are placed on the home ofrenda (altar) or gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit. Sugar skull art reflects the folk-art style of big happy smiles\, colorful icing and sparkly tin and glittery adornments.  During the month of October\, Mamba’s Creations creates Crochet Sugar Skull kits which include the following: \n\nWhite Crochet Sugar Skull Granny Square\nBlank Name Card\nColored Thread\nAssorted Embellishments\n\nCrafters are welcome to decorate the Crochet Sugar Skulls and return the completed square with the name of the loved one who is being celebrating.  The artisans at Mamba’s Creations then piece all the squares with name cards onto The Forever Afghan and have the completed Afghan on display on November 1st.  These kits are being presented as a public service to our community free of charge.  To date\, The Forever Afghan has 42 honorees. \nCrafting Event:  Our friends at The Moffat Library have given us space to help reach more villagers.  On Sunday\, October 27\, 2024 from 1pm to 3pm\, Alma from Mamba’s Creations will be leading a Sugar Skull decorating activity.  No fee\, supplies will be provided but you must pre-register. \n
