Chinese New Year occurs January 31, 2014 

 The Year of the Horse

The Chinese Calendar has a cycle of 12 years denoted by animals:

2014 is the year of the Horse.  It is the jiăwŭ (甲午) year (Wooden Horse). 

Calculating 'When is the Chinese New Year in 2014'

The fact that the date of Chinese New Year varies within about a month is a

clue that it's linked to the new moon.  A rough, and almost infallible guide 

is that the Chinese New Year follows the second new moon after the winter 

solstice.  The winter solstice falls on December 21st, the next new 

moon is January 1st 2014, the second new moon is on January 30th 2014.

People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skilful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk allot.

They are wise, talented, good with their hands, and sometimes have a weakness for members of the opposite sex.

They are hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent.   They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep.

Astrologically, the horse is placed directly opposite the rat. The rat is the creator and the horse is the "consumer."

Challenge #13 - Elves

Fall is here, the leaves are changing, Halloween has come and gone, soon winter snows will be here.  Time to cozy up for that long winter ahead and do a little creating! 

 The Little Elf

By John K. Bangs

I met a little Elfman once,

Down where the lilies blow.

I asked him why he was so small,

And why he didn't grow. 

He slightly frowned, and with his eye

He looked me through and through -

"I'm just as big for me," said he,

"As you are big for you!"

Today we present to you our design teams inspiration for our November Challenge, the theme this month is "ELVES."  Be sure to check back next Monday for more inspiration work from our design team.
