Four Stranded Braids Made With Plastic Bags
Braiding with plastic bags is a great way to make trim for some of your recycled crafting projects, and a great way to keep those plastic bags out of the trash! At least when you braid them, if they do end up in the trash, they'll do a lot less damage as they're already broken down somewhat. And if you ever find yourself on that island of plastic bottles and bags located somewhere out in the Pacific ocean, well, you'll be able to keep yourself busy. Sadly enough. I am in the middle of making some fun recycled crafts using plastic bottles and plarn (plastic bag yarn) and I needed…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Thanks so much for joining me here for this weekly linky party with contributors from around the world. Spring is here and that means it is time to get working in the container garden and start thinking about preparations for the Jewish holiday of Purim, which is in just another month. So much to do on the crafting front, and on the Spring cleaning front in preparation for Passover, which is in just two months. That used to seem like a long time, but now I realize that two months just flies by, so gotta run! I have high hopes for seriously organizing my crafting…

Moroccan Matbucha Cooked Tomato Salad
Matbucha, said with a gutteral "ch" is a cooked tomato relish, that is cooked for many hours over a low flame, and whose recipe differs greatly depending on whom you ask! Here in Israel it is called a "salad" and is a universal dish eaten with challah at the shabbat table, together with an array of other salads (many other salads if you are Moroccan) that precede the fish course on Friday night. Since matbucha is actually of Moroccan origin, I'm going to go out on a limb and tell you that the recipe I use is the real thing, and truly the most delicious. My recipe didn't actually come…

Almond Trees In Bloom In The Holy City Of Tsfat
The blooming period of our local almond trees is coming to an end, and I was fortunate to get out yesterday on a beautiful spring day, to not only witness some of this seasonal beauty, but also from a part of town that I visit quite infrequently. From this adjacent hilltop in a neighborhood called Canaan, the views of Mount Meron are stunning, I hope you enjoy this little snapshot of the views I enjoyed on my walk home.

Giant Lonestar Quilt Using Fleece
Ta da, here is the first quilt I have ever made, a giant lonestar quilt using fleece. Which really means a quilt made of just two giant lonestar quilt blocks with a deep border to make the blanket twin bed appropriate. I made this fleece quilt using fleece scraps and some fleece throws that were sitting around collecting dust, and I just love the results. Okay, I can't say that actually quilting together the front and back went smoothly, nor is the quilt flat as it should be, but for a first try, I'm going to give myself a break! Ever seen those gorgeous quilting blogs that hang their quilts…
