Dear Friends, the customary party break for December just was not quite enough for my schedule and all the demands of my life, so I've decided to wait until February to resume the party. And having come down with a not so mild case of COVID last week, I need to take it easy to ensure a speedy recovery.
Wishing everyone all the very best, good health, and looking forward to reconnecting in two weeks!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! We are now celebrating the 7th night of Chanukah! As is customary every year, I take a holiday break with the party for the month of December, so I am sharing features from last week's party, but there is no link up. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season, and looking forward to reconnecting in 2021!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Chanuka is starting Sunday night and while it will be little lower key this year as with my children all teens plus, and young children coming maybe only one night, it seems like a bit too much. Okay, though seriously, my down played version is still way over the top compared to most people,so not to worry, and I could change my mind by tomorrow night, as I have more than enough already made decorations! Right now it is time to take a look at the features from last week's party, and start thinking about what crafts you'll delve into this winter? There are so many many options, though I of course always encourage crochet, because it is just so very versatile! Okay, enjoy the features!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Winter has arrived complete with rain, lower temps and thunder and lightening on shabbat. No need for heat just yet, but with Chanukah in just one week, well it is time for a change of seasons! Yikes Chanukah in one week? Yes my friends, and this year I think I will be mostly relying on my many many many boxes of existing decorations, as crafting and making art, hmmm, just not enough time for that! We have a new deco/modern chandelier over the dining room table that I will fill with vertical strings of white pom poms, ah yes, and then there is the arch that i usually hang pom poms from too, and I even left the thumb tack in from last year, so i guess I'll have to close the sketchbook and at least spend a bit of time adding some festivity to our home, after all Chanukah is a whole week! My customary crocheted pouches are in a box and ready to go, from last year, and so no crocheting possibly, but husband sure would like a painting of a lion, so I may just have to give that a try, for his birthday. Okay, gotta run, just realized there is quite a bit to do! So happy holiday preparations and enjoy the features from last week's party!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! Oh my, Chanukah is in just 2 weeks and that means it is now seriously time to get decorating, if not my family will wonder what has happened to my holiday spirit! Telling them that I'm too focused on drawing and painting will certainly not do it, and fortunately I do have decorations in boxes somewhere, and hoping to bring out the stand up polar bears and huskies from two years ago, and at least paint some clothes pin dolls to ride them! That and white pom poms on the new chandelier over our dining room table will be a good start! Ah yes, and the origami for chanukah hat I made a ton of last year will be perfect as well, just hung differently to make it seem like I've done something new. Gotta do what you gotta do! And here we are in the middle of November, and time to get cozy with the crafting, so crocheting would be my go-to craft (if not for the aforementioned painting etc.) which is especially great for holiday gift giving. As always, this party is full of wonderful crocheters, so the features have lots to inspire, together with a great dream catcher, some fun bobbles and a few things to sew, Okay, lets get to it!

Welcome to Craft schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! So sorry about any inconvenience from last week's mistake of closing the party within hours, big whoops, though eye love knots managed to get some links in there, and consequently much of the party features are her contributions, and so it goes. Not complaining, I love crochet and now is the perfect time to pick up that crochet hook, unless you are filling up your journal with sketches/paintings and obsessed with improving, as I am? Okay great, the main thing is to show up daily for that creative time, whether it be 15 minutes or more, if you are lucky, just make the effort! Okay, lets get to those features, and once again add some creativity to your everyday, you will be so happy you took my advice!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joinine me here! We are finally starting to enjoy some cooler weather here in Northern Israel, and Chanukah is approaching in just over a month, yikes! Last year I was painting doves and llamas, so what will it be this year? Maybe Chanukah cityscapes or dreidels made from ice? Not sure myself, but I am sure that it is time to get planning! So lets get inspired by the features from last week's party, shall we? Enjoy!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! The time is just speeding by, and chanukah is coming in just 5 weeks! We just bought a new light fixture for over the dining room table, and it came in a huge white box with many blocks of styrofoam inside, so it looks like it is going to be a snowy Chanukah theme once again. Now just gotta find those cardboard polar bears, and maybe this year I'll actually make the clothes pin dolls I'm dreaming of to ride those polar bears! Of course I generally do come crocheting for chanukah too, so time to the ball rolling. Speaking of crochet, this blog party is always full of great crochet projects for starters, and so inspiring thanks to all my loyal participants! Okay, lets take a look!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! The weather is starting to cool down here in Northern Israel, and I can't believe that Chanukah is in just 6 weeks, exactly yikes! But before getting into my holiday preparations, i think I need to crochet some acorns, I mean really, who can resist? Or maybe some fall leaves, or both? There is something about a change in the seasons and especially the approach of cooler weather that always has me thinking of crocheting something, as for years I did just that! This year I am still on the mission to build my personal art skills, so not looking for other ways to spend my creative time, but it is always great to have a small project in one's purse for a car trip at the least! Okay, lets get this party started, enjoy!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! The teens are all now back in school after a holiday break, so time to get back to work on all my big plans, hmmm, what were they exactly? It is always hard to get back to "normal" after the holidays, especially succot, but with Chanukah coming up in just 7 weeks, I may as well get started on that, right? As usual, writing this on Friday afternoon, and running to tend to all the cooking and preparations for Shabbat, so enjoy the features from last week's party!
