Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday thanks so much for joining me here! With Yom Kippur coming up on Tuesday night, that means that Succot is in just a week, yikes, so time indeed to get those creative gears spinning. I of course have more than enough already made from previous years, but I do love to add at least something new each year, hmmm to that! Last week's party was full of crocheted projects, many of which would also be great succah decorations, so is that my cue? Not sure, but it certainly means time to get crafting! First of course, take a look at the features from last weeks party, and then get off the computer!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With Rosh HaShana starting Sunday night, this is the last party of the Jewish year! Then we have just 2 weeks to enjoy the preparations for Succot, and all things succah related which is the time to get crafting! My succah decor is more or less ready, but I always love to add some paper decorations and maybe it is time for a painting or two? For now, the new year is coming, so enjoy the features and give some thought to how you'd like to enhance your life and the lives of others with creativity! Wishing you and yours a happy sweet New Year!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With Rosh HaShana in just one week, now is the time to get busy with all things relevant to ushering the Jewish New Year, which is everything from decor and new year's cards and gifts to of course holiday meals, which feature symbolic foods, round challahs with raisins and all things sweet for a sweet new year! Rushing myself to get a number of things accomplished before the end of the Jewish year, so wishing you an amazing last week of the Jewish year, and enjoy the features!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! With Rosh HaShana coming up quickly now is the time to get crafting while we finish off the year with good things and good intentions! I am very busy with my index card sized daily art, with the goal of finishing 365 of them by Sept. 25th, so do forgive me if there are no new Rosh HaShana crafts this year, and in any case I still have many things to share from our August adventures, yikes! But for now, lets take a look at the features from last week's party, enjoy!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! We have been having record breaking heat in Northern Israel so it does not feel like Fall just yet, but the reality is that Rosh HaShana is in three weeks, yikes and with that a holiday season that is a great opportunity to get those creative gears turning! Hello Jewish new year cards and apple crafts? Hello Succah decorations? So enough said, lets take a look at the features from last week's party, enjoy!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Wishing everyone a chodesh tov, a good new month as today is the first day of the month of Elul, the last month on the Jewish calendar. Which means so many things, but here it means time to get crafting for Rosh HaShana and Succot! It also means that summer vacation is over, with school starting tomorrow for my kids. Of course it also means that more holidays are coming in just a month, so this is a month that is about working hard to end the year on the right foot. I'd say fill this month with creativity and start the year with lots of great crafty displays in your home and in your succah! Lets take a look at the features from last week's party for a bit of inspiration, enjoy!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, and thanks so much for joining me here! With just one more week of official summer vacation left, I am looking forward to another week of sketching and relaxing, this time 3 nights in a yurt with a view, with just the husband, and hopefully some cool enough weather to enjoy the cliffs and trails! But if not, I'll sketch from a perch indoors for my #sketchfrommywindow Instagram challenge, which has me well, sketching views from windows using the materials of my choice, come join me! If not, then pick up that crochet hook and get busy, or delve into something new, which is always exciting. Lets take a look at the features from last week's party, shall we?

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, hope you are having an amazing August. This is the first time in quite a while that I have not "gone fishing" with the party, as this year, unlike most years we are staying put in Israel, and only traveling during the week, meaning I am home and able to present the features. It does feel very strange, but once we get on the road to explore some places we've never visited it will feel like vacation, hopefully! Two weeks ago there were some fabulous projects, something truly for everyone, so make this month a creative one, and enjoy the features!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! We are now in the period on the Jewish calendar called "the 9 days" which is a period of great mourning (no music, no festivities, no eating meat or drinking wine, no haircuts or buying new clothes, no decorating your house......) leading up to the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, the 9th of Av, the day in which both Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. Sooooooo, we can certainly get together for this blog "party" but I'll keep it low key......And now for the features from last week's party, for the first time ever I suddenly would love to make some faux stained glass! Enjoy, well know you, whatever feels appropriate!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Take advantage of all things summer to delve into some crafts, whether old favorites or trying something new! Think of projects to take along on summer trips or outings, things that you can do in the car, at the cabin, or even as guests in someone's home, or a hotel room. Life is so much fuller when you add creativity to the mix! Enjoy the features from last week's party!
