Sweet Signs Of Creativity!

What makes a creative mom like me smile? A sweet little sign of a creative soul on behalf of my eight year old son, who rather than just writing some important phone numbers on a slip of paper, made some small works of art to put on the fridge. Even better, this was a complete surprise, which I found on the fridge one morning, quite by surprise. I guess my creative ways are rubbing off, phew!

And what are these numbers (for those of you who don't read Hebrew), that would be the weather report and a recorded broadcast from his school. Cute right?

So glad to have this blog to keep track of all these special moments, and so happy to share them with you!

Tiny Crocheted Baskets For Centerpieces And Party Favors

Tiny crocheted baskets are the perfect little accessory for decorating tables or giving little gifts this winter, or for getting a jump start on your spring crafting! They'd be adorable little party favors filled with something special, or one could make centerpieces with branches and tiny baskets holding bird's eggs. With the Jewish holiday of Tu B'Shevat coming up these are perfect for holding dried fruits or nuts, which we eat on the holiday to celebrate the new year for the fruit bearing trees.
