Crocheted Flower Pillow With Applique
Here is the perfect home decor item to bring spring into your home, introducing the crocheted flower applique pillow. Hmm, or maybe it is called the pillow with crocheted flower applique, not quite sure, but in any case this one is a winner and I’m so happy that I’ve actually managed to complete a project that is going to great use in my home! Oh, and of course there isn’t really a greater stash buster than this as you can mix and match as many colors as your little heart desires! I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit wary of crocheted pillows as far as wear and tear,…

Crocheted Heart Wall Hanging
Phew, I finally figured out what to do with my crocheted cherry blossom heart! Ta da, it makes a really adorable little crocheted wall hanging, or maybe it is really a vertical garland, hmmm, not quite sure what to call it, but nonetheless it is truly sweet and quite simple to make. This is the kind of pattern that will look entirely different depending on your choice of colors, so go pastel or bright or even neutral, and the results will be a great way to spread the love. While you are at it whip up a bunch so you’ll always have a little homemade gift on hand, ah yes,…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Spring is here in Northern Israel and it is time to start seriosly thinking about Purim, which is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks. Without the stress of having to prepare the best costumes ever for my kids (as they have outgrown costumes) things will be just a bit calmer. Okay, I did volunteer to help three new neighbors with costumes, but hoping to recycle some of my daughters costumes from years past….just wish me luck in finding them! I guess I’ll be getting a bit of a head start on our yearly cleaning for Passover, now…

Hardenbergia Vine In Bloom
One of the things I love to celebrate here on creative jewish mom is the change of seasons and all the wonderful that happen in nature and in my container garden, each and every year! This week I have already shared with you the yearly blooming of the almond trees, and I just ran outside wity my 50mm lens in order to share with you the yearly blooming of my hardenbergia vines, so very very lovely indeed! i’ll admit this plant has been looking very scraggly, and is in dire need of some food and attention as well, which is possibly why it has bloomed very nicely this year, meaning…

Crocheted Plush Popcorn Stitch Flower Pattern
Looking for a gorgeous crocheted flower that is fun to make, has lots of plush dimension and looks fantastic? Here it is, the crocheted popcorn stitch flower that could be called a dahlia or even a chrysanthemum. And as you can see from this photo this flower is the perfect partner with the simple 2 row crocheted popcorn stitch flower, and in fact they are siblings! I do have to say, this flower is unlike most crocheted flowers as it is very plush! So I’d say that the wisest thing to do is to use it as an applique of some kind (which is what I have actually done, project…

Simple Crocheted Flower Pattern Using The Popcorn Stitch
The almond trees are now in bloom here in Northern Isreal, so it is a great time to whip up some simple little crocheted flowers that can be used in so many ways for spring crafting. Now let me tell you, this little 2 row flower is no ordinary crocheted flower as it is puffy, on account of the popcorn stitch which is used to form the petals, and since I used chunky yarn, these little guys have a depth of around 1/2″, which means they make perfect appliques for all kinds of decorative accessories such as pillows, wall hangings, garlands, you name it! Looking for a stash buster project,…
