Ride or Die
We Craft at Dawn: A Christmas Ornament for the Battle-Ready Crafter.
There are people who craft peacefully—and then there are those of us who approach a new project as if we have been summoned into battle.
We gather our yarn, fabric, thread, needles, hooks, scissors and other necessary supplies. We survey the pattern. We choose our colors. We prepare ourselves for whatever tangled yarn, missed stitches, uneven seams and late-night decisions may come.
And at dawn, we ride…eh..we craft.
That wonderfully dramatic spirit inspired the We Craft at Dawn ornament, the centerpiece of a new Christmas ornament collection from Stitch, Pray, Repeat.
The design features a richly colored craft box filled with yarn, embroidery, fabric, scissors, brushes and other creative treasures. Behind it, the sun rises over the mountains—as if an epic day of making is about to begin.
Because for a crafter, every day we get to use the blessing and the skill, is an epic day.
A Christmas Ornament for Every Kind of Crafter
“We Craft at Dawn” was created for the makers whose creativity cannot be contained within one particular craft.
Maybe you knit in the winter, crochet whenever the right yarn calls your name and pull out the sewing machine when inspiration strikes. Perhaps you quilt, embroider, paint, weave or spin—and have the supplies to prove it.
If your answer to “What kind of crafting do you do?” is simply “Yes,” this ornament belongs on your tree.
The round ceramic ornament measures approximately 2.8 inches and hangs from a gold cord. It is available with the design on the front only or with a message on the back:
Have a wonderful, crafty season! or whatever message you want to put there. You have 100 characters to say what’s on your heart. It makes a cheerful addition to your own Christmas decorations and a fun gift for a craft-loving friend, guild member, teacher or creative family member.

The Rally Cry Began with Crochet
The first ornament released in the collection was We Crochet at Dawn, created especially for the crocheters who know that yarn and a hook can be serious business.
It has the same bold, playful rally-cry spirit, but celebrates the particular joy—and occasional chaos—of crochet. It is perfect for the crocheter who always has another project planned, another skein waiting and at least one work in progress nearby.

More Makers Are Joining the Charge
“We Craft at Dawn” and “We Crochet at Dawn” are only the beginning.
The collection will also celebrate knitters, quilters, seamstresses, cross-stitchers, spinners and weavers. Each ornament is being designed as a small tribute to the skill, creativity and determination that makers bring to their work.
These are not quiet little ornaments for people who occasionally dabble.
They are rally cries for the devoted makers—the ones who plan projects during dinner, carry supplies everywhere and understand that buying materials and finishing projects are two entirely different hobbies.
Whether you make gifts for everyone you love, sell your work, donate it, decorate your home or create simply because your hands and imagination need something to do, there is a place for you in this crafty little army.
Gather your supplies. Choose your project. Pour the coffee.
We craft at dawn!
