Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! January is almost over and time is speeding by, which means it is time to start prioritizing for those of us who want to get in some serious crafting for Purim this year, which starts on the night of March 23rd. We do have an extra month as it is Jewish leap year, nonetheless, time is of the essence as seven weeks can just fly by!
As you may have noticed I have been working on my blog's design, and there is now a bar of photos just above this, which will display posts pertaining to the next upcoming Jewish holiday, which in this case is Purim, where I get stretched to my crafty limits with DIY costumes and creative gift packaging containing creative food presentation. We have yet to decide on our costumes for this year, but maybe this time there will be no customary all nighter's involved, the night before the kids wear their costumes to school!
Okay, enough about Purim, lets take a look at some of the fantastic features from last week's party, wow! You will notice that I'm not featuring anything directly related to the holiday on Feb 14th as it is not a holiday that we celebrate, but there is certainly no problem with heart shaped crafts to spread the love! Thanks for joining me here, and please step forward and join the party, we'd love to meet you! And for a new twist on the geography topic, since so many are from the US, IF YOU ARE FROM THE USA, PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR STATE IN THE NAME OF THE LINK UP, just for fun, so we can continue our virtual road trip!
DIY heart shaped bath bombs from atta girl says (USA) and an adorable embroidery pattern from flamingo toes (USA.)
An outdoor winter monogram wall art from Kenarry (USA) and retro cute crocheted hex potholders from flamingo toes (USA)
A fun painted rug tutorial from the Logbook (USA) and yarn wrapped hearts from growing up gabel (USA.)
Knit dutch house book ends from Ginx crafts, and love this cross stitch on canvas draught excluder from pillar box blue.
Giant pallet wall art from the logbook, and fun dollar store bandana pillow covers from heathered nest. I see that in this case the classic bandana got revised with a mandala pattern, so I'll definately be on the lookout for these next time I'm in the USA!
A toddler jumper pattern that is so sweet, from nap time creations (USA) and a fun storage bag from tea and a sewing machine (United Kingdom.)
Fun crocheted necklace from homemade at my place (Mozambique) and a fun embroidered crocheted heart from howling at the moon (The Netherlands)
Sweet washi tape decorated peg dolls from we bloom here (California) and a washi tape decorated clock from creative khadija (Pakistan.)
Fun xoxo wall art from living lavida holoka (USA) and a chalkboard banner that you can re-use from the crafty blog stalker (USA.)
Asian turkey wraps from atta girl says (USA) and baked turkey meatballs from home cooking memories (USA) I would have love to include more non-dessert items but many non-dessert contributions included items not in keeping with Jewish dietary law unfortunately, so since making a non kosher dessert is pretty difficult, (meaning if you use kosher certified ingredients) unless there is meat in there somehow, on to the stuff that looks great but isn't so great for you:
Tropical granola clusters from the frugal foodie mama (USA) and a carrot cake swiss roll with pineapple cream cheese from Winnie.
This idea would be great for Purim, sweet cupcakes on a stick from homecooking memories (USA), while this one would be perfect for Lag B'Omer, marshmellow arrows from Lauren McBride (USA.)
Peanut butter overnight oatmeal from embellishments (USA) and peanut butter cookies from summerscraps (USA.)
Strawberry coffee cake donuts from delightful e made, and a fun cake frosted with berry tea colored frosting, (fantastic!) from home cooking memories. That is it for the features, what have you been up to?
