DIY T-Shirt Yarn From Boy’s Striped Shirts
Passover is in exactly three weeks, and at this point we should be in the middle of turning the house inside out……and so of course at this point the procrastination monster takes charge and says why not make some t-shirt yarn? After all lovely balls of homemade t-shirt yarn just waiting to be used is much more orderly than a pile of old striped shirts that have seen better days, right? Ha, ha ha, but what can I say i just love seeing the balls of yarn from old garments and linens piling up! Thinking of making some DIY t-shirt yarn yourself? You really should, just keep reading for a…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, and thanks so much for joining me here! So as it happens it appears that the grill on my oven is not working, which is quite a calamity on a Thursday night when I need it to make my healthier version of the Moroccan salads my family loves and counts on for Shabbat. You know, like grilled eggplant in cubes and slices (normally fried) and roasted red peppers and roasted hot peppers (normally fried), hmmm, which means I'm gonna have to actually fry at least the eggplant cubes and the hot peppers, which means I'll need to be watching the stove, not…

DIY T-Shirt And Sheet Yarn Is A Spring Cleaning Tradition!
Yes, dear readers, when you see photos of DIY sheet and t-shirt yarn, you can surely guess that the Pesach house cleaning and organizing has begun! And of course, since I'd rather craft than clean, one of the first things I always do is look for old sheets that are no longer presentable, and clothing whose condition is too poor to pass along to those in need. (We happen to have many neighbors with large families who always appreciate out hand me downs, so I only cut up really ragged t-shirts and night gowns and such.) Lucky for me, one of the things that was begging to be made into…

Simple Gift Tags From Paper Scraps
With Purim still fresh in my memory, one of the things that always stresses me out on the very festive and busy holiday is making gift tags at the last minute, as well as wrapping up gifts in celophane, yuck. This year I de-stressed myself by personally delivering homebaked and prepared foods on a sweet cake stand I'd made……no need for wrapping or a gfit card, and it was so much fun! That said, i could have used a few ready to use gift tags, and so I am now committing to spending this year using all my little scraps of paper for making fun gift tags, which I'm am…

A Quick Crocheted Spring Basket
Spring is here which means it is time to get started with the Spring/Pesach organizing and cleaning……but first of course as I was recovering from a very festive Purim I spied a cute little basket with holes in it, that could be much more useful if one could not see what is inside, for me the hoarder that is! So I present to you a quick crocheted spring basket using an existing plastic basket with holes, an idea that can be used on many types of plastic baskets! And yes, to make this project "quick" one does need the proper supplies, namely yarn and hook sizes that are large, so…

Hedenbergia Vine In Bloom, On The Late Side…..
If you follow my blog, you may already know that I just love sharing with you signs of the changing seasons. Migrating birds, blooming trees, ripening pomegranates and grapes are just a few of the things that make us excited around here, and I now share with you my yearly photos of my hedenbergia vine in bloom…..something that usually happens during the winter as opposed to early Spring, but so be it! Right about now, when some of you may be thinking about your garden, whether in containers or in actually earth, I'd like to recommend this lovely vine to you…….it blooms in the winter when all else in the…
