Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here. With Passover quickly approaching, and just 2 1/2 weeks for our yearly top to bottom house cleaning, I need to put aside the craft supplies, or rather organize them, rather than use them, though I am thinking about how I'll count the Omer this year, and do need to prepare for that , ah yes and then there are all the metallic silver pyramids I'm planning on making from the cardboard/metallic covers from aluminum pans that I always set aside as I never use them. So yes I will be cleaning and organizing, but of course I have to honor the holiday with creativity as well! Okay, lets take a look at the features from last week's party!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday thanks so much for joining me here! Whew, what a week it was with Purim preparation and then recovery, and now the gnawing idea that Passover is less than a month a way, and that means a top to bottom house cleaning and organizing! Of course one does not have to do all that, but my house always needs it and without putting in the work i could never feel like I've been delivered from slavery in Egypt! As always, hoping for a nice fresh and organized look for my studio, which means maybe making a plan of working in there an hour or so a day to actually get there, while I also tackle other projects both work, and house organizing. Sure would be nice to have all those art supplies nicely organized so I know where everything is! Okay, enough about that, enjoy the features from last week's party!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With the very festive Jewish holiday of Purim coming Monday night, the pressure is on to prepare, though with no young children around, costumes are on hold, until there will hopefully be grandchildren nearby! This year instead of spending hours preparing Moroccan salads for the friends and neighbors, I've spent hours making large origami horses to decoration their holiday tables.....of course I'll have to give it with just a bit of food, and what that is exactly? Hmmm, maybe challah rolls, some Moroccan pickled lemon, some pickled veggie strips......but I'll need to get some cups with lids so they'll fit in the "bags" I've made from cornflakes boxes, 2 bags per large box! Okay, it is time to see the features from last week's party, and so many wonderful ones, so enjoy!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for stopping by! After a week filled with Purim party decorations, and then cleaning up the mess, I decided that the first few days of this week would be dedicated to cleaning my studio, or at least taking a major stab at it! Tonight I started to drag all the boxes and unorganized things out of the room and into the kitchen, where I will then be forced to go through it all! Feeling hopeful about this head start on the yearly Passover head to toe house cleaning, wish me luck! And now, for the wonderful features from last week's party, and yes I'd rather be crocheting right about now! Enjoy!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday. Thanks so much for joining me here! The almond trees are now in bloom in Northern Israel and I spotted some red anemones as well, so hope to take some photos to share with you soon, and honestly I think I need to do a bit of crocheting, at least a little owl or two, can't resist! Ah yes, but Purim is coming soon so time to get crafting for that friends! Enjoy the features and do take the time to add some creativity to your day and/or your family's day!

Welcome Back To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome back to Craft Schooling Sunday, and so happy to reconnect with everyone! It is true I had only planned on putting the party on hiatus for a month, but a busy life led me down other roads, that finally did lead me back here! Thanks so much for sharing! This party is the Tu B'Shevat party, as Sunday night is the Jewish new year for the trees, and all things fruit are celebrated, so enjoy!

Craft Schooling Sunday Returns Next Week!

Dear Friends, my usual break from Craft Schooling Sunday for the month of December somehow became a two month hiatus, but the party will return next Sunday and I look forward to reconnecting with everyone, and hope to see you then!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! I'm not sure how it happened, but Chanukah starts in just two short weeks, meaning it is time to get crafting! I'm hoping to knit a surprise for my husband from a traditional Jewish pattern, that will require me traveling a few hours from home a few times to learn the pattern from the originator, and I hope it happens, truly, as I've been wanting to do it for years! More on that if it actually happens, and time to start crocheting my traditional gift sacks for the entire family, which will happen, just this time in extra large size with t-shirt yarn, stay tuned for that! In the mean time, take a look at the features from last week's party and get crafting!

As is customary for this party come December, the party will be taking a vacation until January 8, hope to see you then and wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Rain and cooler weather and even a touch of fall color in the neighborhood means winter is coming and so too the desire to craft cozy items. I would love to make this fun crocheted llama, maybe it will happen? With a family wedding in Jerusalem and a shabbat together before the wedding, I'm rushing to get it all done, so lets take a look at the features from last week's party!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With Fall in full swing and cooler weather, I'll admit I've started a new knitting project that requires small needles and is quite tedious, especially since I'm trying to figure out the pattern myself, nonetheless it feels great to have yarn and needles of some kind between my fingers! I hope you try something new this season or return to a cozy craft of some kind! Take a look at the features and get inspired, there is always time for creativity!
