Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here! It is now motzei shabbat, meaning Saturday night, and I'm running off to meet a bunch of old friends who are gathering to have a little reunion for a friend who hasn't lived in our city for a good seventeen years or so. I'm bringing a mixed salad topped with some carrot roses, made with a tool that looks like a huge pencil sharpener, something I really must share with you all! Speaking of sharing, thanks to all those who link up weekly or even once in a while, for making this party so very very lovely with…

Crocheted Victorian Lattice Tablerunner
Yesterday I shared with you a pattern for this lovely square called the Victorian Lattice square, and today, voila I can't quite believe it, but I am sharing with you the project I whipped up using just three such squares! Considering all the half finished projects I have kicking around, this is truly great news, and one aqua bedside cabinet is now looking pretty spiffy if I do say so myself. There is something really wonderful about a relatively quick crochet project that can infuse your home with that special handmade touch, without the huge effort that say crocheting a blanket requires. So here's to more crocheted table runners to…

Crocheted Victorian Lattice Square Is A New Favorite!
Yippee I finally had a bit of time to indulge in a little crocheting, and found a wonderful square that works up quickly, with lovely results. The pattern is called the Victorian Lattice Square, and you can find it here on Ravelry as a free download. Now the only question is what to do with those squares? One square could make a little wall hanging or one side of a pot holder or hot pad, a few squares could become a small runner for a bedside table (that is what I think I'm going to do) and of course twelve or so could become a baby's blanket, and many could…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, a little crafty get together with contributors from around the world.Yes, really literally around the world! This week I have gone back to that fun tradition of labeling where all the contributors are from, and if I've gotten it wrong, please let me know! Sometimes this requires quite a bit of sleuthing! I am writing this on Friday morning as I contemplate just how much time I'll have today to make extra things for our shabbat table, which is even more special this week as it is also the new year for the trees, Tu B'Shevat! Yes we have purchased all kinds of fresh…

Stand Up Tree Craft Is Perfect For Tu B’Shevat!
Isn't this standing tree just the sweetest? Thanks so much to a reader Orit, who sent this in to share what she did with her four year old, love it! They'll be using their tree as a centerpiece this shabbat when we also celebrate the wonderful holiday of Tu B'Shevat, the new year for the trees. This craft is a combination of two projects from the archives, my winter tree from recycled cardboard, and my cherry blossom tree craft. My kids are now hovering around early teens, so they are busy with school work, piano lessons and for some even more learning after school…….so after a long day they are…
