Why March 1st? Bartholomew Roberts was a famous Welsh Pirate, so starting on Gwyl Dewi Sant seems appropriate. He was also known as Barti Ddu (Black Bart), although not until after he died. He was born on 17th May meaning that the last part will be released on his birthday.

Crochet: Clutch
A fun little stash busting project for the essential oil lover. It also fits lip balm tubes, small perfume dispensers and more. Depends on what you usually keep in your handbag, now you can keep things more organised.
