Welcome to craft schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! The very festive and very crafty Jewish holiday of Purim is on Wednesday night/Thursday (and on Thursday night/Friday in Jerusalem) which means the coming week will be very busy indeed. I am in the middle of finishing up a Queen Esther costume and a mitzvah dragon costume, needed for the school costume day on Monday or Tuesday, and hope to share that with you, and then it is time to think about the mischloach manot, the gifts of food for neighbors and those we want to honor....In previous years I always used a recycled container, but now I'm more concerned with giving something that will add to the recipient's holiday in some way, or at the very least make them smile. For the neighbors I often give a small healthy meal, as the morning of Purim tends to be a bit hectic and everyone forgets to eat something before getting into all the junk floating around. Since everything is still undecided I"ll just go with the flow. And if the husband actually goes to a lemon tree or ours across town full of organic lemons waiting to be picked, then I may just make quick pickled Moroccan lemons for everyone and do a lemon themed package. So many options and it all just depends on how much time there is, as I also have to prepare a feast for Thursday.......so now lets just take a breather and enjoy the features from last week's party:
