Quick Cartoon Character Bundt Cake Is Perfect For Birthdays!
Introducing my ten minute cartoon character bundt cake for a guitar themed party. Of course you can use my simple formula to make a cute cake that works perfectly for you, and best of all less stress and more time to focus on other equally important aspects of the party, like decorations, which after all really make the party. Quick birthday cakes are the best kind really, in my opinion, after all it does get eaten……okay it is true you have the photos to remember your efforts, but in my book going for a larger scale wow factor with decorations is time more well spent. It may be that is…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Hi there, welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday and thanks for joining me here! We have another really important Jewish holiday coming up in less than two weeks, namely the holiday of Shavuot, where we celebrate the giving of the Torah. You can find projects for that holiday in the little image carousel just under the blog title! It is all about greenery and flowers, gotta love it! Last week's party was full of great ideas to help us enjoy outdoor living and summer entertaining, and while I certainly have been filling pots with flowers and tending to my container garden, the project that really has me interested is…

The Ancient Cemetary Of Safed Covered In Yellow Wild Flowers
The fields of Northern Israel are indeed a world unto their own, and I just love to watch the progressive show as wildflowers and maidenhair fern and thistle, to name a few, each bloom during their own special time slot, only to dry up and be replaced by the next species in line. It really is truly magnificent, and while of course this show has a general theme that is the same year to year, this year I noticed that a particular yellow dasy-like wild flower seems to have really taken over, and the hills are golden and lovely, well at least they were two weeks ago when I took…

Fleece Scraps Pouch For Kids Is Perfect For Holding Magnifying Glasses!
Last week just before my favorite little four year old was to arrive for a visit, I quickly whipped up a pouch to hold the magnifying glass I had promised him on his last visit. And of course since I love giving the kind of gifts that are truly exciting and will be used, I made a pouch with a strap so that it could be worn across the body, and added straps to the magnifying glasses so they could be worn around the neck, for convenience and because the largest magnifying glass is actually glass, and keeping it safely around the neck does seem like the best way to…

Exotic Hostess Gift Idea — Go Moroccan With North African Delicacies And More
Growing up I witnessed first hand that the lovely tradition of gift giving varies greatly from culture to culture. My father had many visitors from around the world, and as I recall the visitors that always, always arrived with interesting gifts were first and foremost from Japan. Our Japanese visitors just wouldn't have dreamed of coming to our home without a gift in hand, and consequently our living room cabinets seemed to be full of interesting curios from Japan and around the world! Fast forward to my life now, and I can tell you that the Moroccan gift giving tradition is alive and well, and I am more than happy…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to craft schooling sunday, the Lag B'Omer Edition! Whoops forgot to post the link up until now, Sunday evening as I was a bit distracted with all the holiday preparations, apparently, sorry about that! Lag B'Omer is the 33rd day of the 49 day period referred to as the Omer, and this is actually a mourning period on the jewish calander, BUT, because the 33rd (the number 33 is lamed gimmel in hebrew which spell Lag) day is the anniversery of the death of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, it is a huge day for spiritual partying, and especially in my neck of the woods which is where the burial…
