Chinese New Year

A joyous annual celebration of new beginnings, family gatherings, and traditional foods, steeped in symbolism and rich history.

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a holiday that celebrates the beginning of the year on the traditional Chinese calendar. It is the most important holiday in China and is celebrated by millions of people around the world, including countries with large Chinese populations such as Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

The holiday typically falls between late January and mid-February, and is marked by a variety of cultural traditions and activities. It’s also a time for families to come together and celebrate the start of a new year.

History of Chinese New Year

The origins of Chinese New Year can be traced back to ancient China, where the holiday was originally a time to honor ancestors and celebrate the end of the winter season. The holiday was also believed to have spiritual significance, as people believed that their actions during this time could influence their luck and prosperity for the year to come.

Over time, Chinese New Year evolved into a more secular holiday, and many of the traditional religious and spiritual elements were incorporated into a various cultural practices. These traditions, which include the exchange of red envelopes containing money, the display of lanterns and other decorations, and the performance of traditional music and dance, have been passed down through the generations and continue to be an important part of the holiday today.

Chinese New Year is now celebrated worldwide by millions, and has become a symbol of cultural pride and unity for the Chinese community. Despite the many changes that have occurred over the centuries, the holiday continues to be an important and beloved tradition for people of Chinese descent.

Winnie the Dragon - pattern by: Red Mill's Crochet

I absolutely loved making this dragon! I'm so stinking proud of it! It took me about a week (for various distracting reason *cough*other projects*cough*) to make, and now it gets to go to the Festival Saturday!

That's right, I'm doing a festival booth this Saturday! I've been nonstop prepping for 2 weeks and stressing like crazy. This is my first event and I picked a big one. Over 60 other vendors.... some who also crochet.

Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it.

Spring 2023 Outfits Collection

Since I'm new here, I thought I'd clarify: these are not new items coming to LOTRO tomorrow - these are just seasonal outfits I put together for my characters to participate in the festival! I try to give them a seasonal theme and story, too. There's four this year, you can find my previous years in the blog.

Celestial Dew

Based on the Elden Ring item that grants Absolution, a new beginning, just like Spring.

Galateia

Epimelides, white-haired nymph, protector of the apple trees and sheep.

Sprightly Fiddler

A simple but vibrant musician outfit for my Minstrel. The feather is a wink to the Spring pets you can barter for during the fest.

Hopscotch Champion

My hobbit lass has overhead the Gaffer gossiping in the Ivy Bush, and has seen the Brockenboring workers set up weird fences. Now she's determined to investigate this Shrew-stomping & fence-running business.

The outfits breakdown can be found in the blog post linked here, if you're interested in any piece.
