Sound familiar? If you or someone you love has uttered these words, we have just the solution.
Join us on a creative adventure with a monthly craft box delivered straight to your door!
Here's how it works ...
2. Your box will arrive at the start of the following month
Your box will contain materials, equipment, instructions and everything you need to make something beautiful.
3. Unbox, get online and get crafting together!
Follow along with live online, step-by-step instructions. Connect with other Curious Octopuses* for an evening of creativity!
Each box contains everything you need to create something beautiful; materials, equipment and instructions. But not only that, we believe creativity should be shared. We love bringing people together who may not be able to join an in-person craft session. Hence, our live, online craft sessions. Once a month we host an online craft evening and welcome you to join a consortium of Octopuses (Yes, that IS the collective noun for Octopus/Octopi)
Do something together even when you're not together!
*The Octopus/Octopi debate
What IS the plural of octopus?
Octopi ❌
While “octopi” has become popular in modern usage, it’s wrong. Octopi is the oldest plural form of octopus, coming from the belief that Latin origins should have Latin endings. However, octopus is not a simple Latin word, but a Latinized form of the Greek word októpus. Consequently, its “correct” plural form would logically be octopodes.
Octopodes ❌
“Octopodes” stems from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending. This term might be technically correct, but it is the least-used incorrect form of the word for more than one octopus. Using “octopodes” might cause more confusion than it’s worth.
Octopuses ✅
“Octopuses” gives the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Generally, when a noun enters into English, it is pluralized as an English word rather than in its original form. Octopuses may sound peculiar to some, but this is the preferred plural.
It’s also peculiar to debate octopuses when the octopus is a solitary creature. So, they would very much prefer we didn’t have this discussion in the first place!
