Ceramic Kid’s Craft: A Red Poppy Ring Dish
Spring is here, and the fields of Israel are covered with wild flowers, a truly lovely sight, In Northern Israel, the red poppies are an indigenous species that we look forward to seeing every year, and this year we were inspired by our love of this special flower to recreate it in the ceramics studio. With my guidance (I have to admit) my son made this sweet red poppy ring dish, that I think we will use on our passover table this year to hold salt.I only wish we had made a bunch of them so that the table would look like a field of wild flowers! Ah, yes, that…

Recycling Yarn By Simply Unraveling Old And Tired Knits!
About ten or so years ago I knit a chunky afghan using four strands of yarn to match our couch. I was happy with the results and it was a present for my husband's birthday, the only problem was that after around a $40 dollar investment using cheap acrylic yarn and a lack of time to make the blanket bigger, I stopped knitting and called it a day. My husband always made jokes about the fact that the blanket was too short, so for subsequent crocheted blankets, as well as a quilted fleece blanket, I made sure that they were amply sized! To make a not so interesting story shorter,…

Five Minute Cake Decorations In A Pinch!
One of my dear nephews from New York was coming for his last shabbat with us before heading back to the USA after a two year stint in Israel, so I just had to make him a good-bye cake! The only problem was that the house had been turned upside down with Pesach cleaning, we had some construction done which added a layer of ground dust to the upside down state, I had to go to a Bar Mitzvah celebration Thursday night, we were loosing a hour due to turning the clocks ahead………oh, and of course the cake and the cake decorations had to be made before sundown on Friday,…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, a wonderful little get together of crafters from around the world, and very talented ones I must say! There is always so much great inspiration here at the party, that while sometimes I wish it would be a bit bigger, when it has been I could never find the time to look at all the contributions, so be careful what you wish for! At the moment I’m wishing and hoping for the hours to stretch out during the next two weeks as we prepare for Passover, as I still have high hopes for some crafting for the holiday, though don’t hold your breath!…

DIY Loom Potholder Using T-Shirt Yarn And DIY Potholder Loops
After cutting up a bunch of my boy's old striped polo style shirts to make t-shirt yarn, I just couldn't bear to toss the remnants, namely the section above the armpits, so rather than clean for Pesach I embarked on a small research project regarding using a pot holder loom to make potholders from t-shirt yarn and presented you with the post 3 Ways To Use Old T-shirts To Weave Potholders. Of the three potholders that we wove for our research project, there was one that in my eyes was just right, so I now present to you the technique that we used, and hoping that this craft will not…

3 Ways To Use Old T-Shirts To Weave Potholders (Revisiting A Classic Kid’s Craft)
After cutting up a bunch of my boy's old striped polo style shirts to make t-shirt yarn, I just couldn't bear to toss the remnants, namely the section above the armpits, so rather than clean for Pesach I embarked on a small research project regarding using a pot holder loom to make potholders from t-shirt yarn and other remnants! When others embark on research say of rare insects or you name it, that is esteemed work, right? In our crafty world, certainly exploring pot holders is just as important, or is that my alter ego talking who just doesn't want to get on with the cleaning? Regardless, I do hope…
