Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Chodosh tov to all of my dear readers, wishing you a very joyful new month on this first day of the Jewish month of Adar. This is leap year, so this is actually the second Adar that we are ushering in this year……and it is no accident that Adar was chosen as the month to double up on as it is a happy month filled with only good things! I am writing this on a sunny clear day here in Northern Israel, perfect weather to welcome all the guests we are having from out of town for Shabbat, and perfect for just being thankful for…

Crocheted Flower Basket Made With Plastic Bag Yarn
I just discovered a wonderful way to use my crocheted basket made with plastic bag yarn, as a flower basket centerpiece or placed anywhere you need a little injection of fun spring color! Buy some flowers from the nursery and use them for a few days indoors before planting them outdoors, the best idea for enjoying fresh flowers on a budget! This cute little basket, made from plastic bags from the grocery store, which are certainly something you don't want to put in the garbage looks great with the scalloped top, and you could also use this same technique to made a sleeve for a plastic pot to be used…

Crocheted Bath Scrubbie Using Potato Sacks
Crocheting scrubbies using upcycled potato sacks is one of my favorite ways to go green. It is a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn, and to make something useful out of something you'd ordinarily throw in the garbage. I started out crocheting very simple kitchen scrubbies, and then i realized that this idea could certainly be used to make scrubbies for the bath and shower as well. And why not use this project to try out some simple trim patterns as well? So I now introduce to you the crocheted bath scrubbie with picot trim, give it a try!

Milk Carton Flower Pot Craft
Crafting with recycled milk cartons is so much fun, so after we made a bunny and bear milk carton characters desk organizer, we just couldn't stop, and thus the cutest little milk carton frog was born, to join the others. Milk carton frogs could be great for Purim, for Passover, and of course for birthday parties of all kinds. A princess birthday party with milk carton frog party favors would be so adorable, and of course you could add a little crown somewhere, maybe attached to the back panel, you'll have to see what works. I love the idea of using these milk carton characters to make flower pots, either…

Spring Container Gardening
Spring is in the air here in Northern Israel and now is the time to put a little bit of effort into my generally very patient container garden! I really needed some new top soil for my bed of roses, and as you can see I just couldn't resist treating myself to some flowers from my local nursery. Don't they look amazing all packed together? I'll be using these flowers to add color here and there, at the base of my lemon tree, and in some window boxes that line a little public walkway. My container garden is something that I do not just for myself, but for the general…
