Succos is coming, and I thought I'd share with you a very tightly edited glimpse of what has been happening over at our house today. And when I say tightly edited, you know what I mean right?
- The roof of our succah, which is called schach, is in place! We use large bamboo mats which we save from year to year, and have in the past combined them with freshly cut palm fronds, which is very lovely.
- We are making large gold stars using poster-board sized pieces of medium weight gold cardboard, and the instructions from my post here. They look amazing and definitely a nice compliment to my quasi Moroccan style succah.
- Large round 4-braid challahs are going in and coming out of the oven, and filling the freezer (and filling the house with an amazing smell that we know and love) totaling 6 kilos of flour in all. Recipe to come......soon.....
- Metal Bracelet globe ornaments, using my tutorial here, were assembled, totalling 29, based on the supply at hand and at the dollar store!
- And that jar of red stuff? Well you know how the creative mind works right? When you're already so busy that you're going to burst at the seams, add something else to the list! I spied some rubbing alcohol in the cabinet and thought I'd give my friend Rosi from Italy's marker craft dye project here, a try! And who knows, maybe we'll use it tonight to dye some shells that could be used for something or other?
