Ah the holidays, it seems to bring out the crafty in all of us. So break out the glue sticks, the glitter and the yarn.
Better yet, attend some of the many local craft shoes. You can admire the work of others without getting glitter and glue all on your hands.
The season of local craft shows starts this weekend with two craft shows locally and one in Durango.
On Dec. 6, Dolores will be the place to be for local arts and crafts.
