The Farmer’s Market In Uman, Ukraine
On our trip to the Ukraine this past Passover, we were based in Uman, and one of the things I wish I had been able to do more thoroughly was really truly spend time exploring the entire market, which is part farmer’s market and part household goods and clothing market. Ah yes, not to mention that of course you can also purchase small animals as well to stock your backyard! The market is I believe three times a week, and since some of those days fell on holidays there was only one day that we actually had time to go to the market……and we got there on the late side…

A Visit To The Odessa Ferris Wheel And A View Of The Black Sea
If you find yourself in Odessa, with kids in tow, or maybe those who prefer amusement parks to museums, why not pop on over to the little amusement park and take a rid on the ferris wheel? I of course did check it out before allowing my loved ones to consider climbing aboard, and it is relatively new, and so hopefully safe and sound. And for those of you, who like me, really don’t like amusement park rides, this one is bareable, so join your family and squeal just a bit. Ah yes, and with any ferris wheel ride there is a view, so make sure to enjoy the view…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Summer is here, with hot days and breezy nights in our mountaintop city, and that means it is time to start thinking about summer vacation, yippee! This year I’m thinking it is time to get serious with journaling and journal sketching, meaning my daughter and I, so lets see where this train of thought takes me? In the mean time, I’m dreaming of crocheting the cutest little owl, or making some watermelon star skewers, both of which you can find right here, so without further delay, here are the features from last week’s party:

Stunning 19th Century Architecture In Odessa, And Tourist Information!
If you love architecture, and especially historic architecture, a visit to Odessa, Ukraine should certainly be on your bucket list if you are ever in that part of the world! On our Passover trip to the Ukraine we took a day trip to Odessa, and I can’t wait to go back, next time with a guide book and some idea of where to go! This time I did not prepare at all, and did not have internet to do research, so we just sort of improvised and fortunately did see some of the important sites, phew. I have more photos to share of this interesting city on the Black Sea,…

DIY Logo Cupcake Sleeve
If you are making cupcakes, why not make some DIY cupcake sleeves to honor your special occasion or that special someone? Cupcake sleeves basically cover the cupcake paper and make them look really fantastic, even if your icing isn’t all that great. And best of all you can customize your cupcake sleeves to your occasion, which I did here for my son’s bar mitzvah. Or once you get the hang of making cupcake sleeves, you can always make some using that great paper you happen to have on hand, sky is the limit! Okay, let’s get started!

DIY Logo Cupcake Toppers For Every Occasion
If you have been following my blog you may know that my son became Bar Mitzvah last week, and so of course part of the celebration included lots of baking (for my daughter) and lots of graphics and centerpieces for me. The theme for the Bar Mitzvah graphics was a hebrew letter logo that I designed using my son’s initials and the theme of the holiday of Shavuot which occurs just five days after my son’s birthday. For these cupcake toppers I simply removed the central symbol and replaced it with the number 13, since that is the age we are celebrating! If you would like a custome hebrew letter…
