Gone Fishing, CJM and Craft Schooling Sunday Will Resume September 1.
For many years I worked really really hard to create content ahead of time to fill this blog for up to five weeks, while I was traveling and visiting family. This year I just didn't have the time, so if you are looking for inspiration do have a peek in the archives, which are busting with tons of projects! I will be back here on the blog on Sept. 1, looking forward to reconnecting and sharing our adventures with you then. Have a happy, productive and creative summer!

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, the last party of the summer, whoo hoo! I don’t know about you, but I’m really ready for a month plus of zero blogging! Of course I do hope to get the creative gears running on full speed, or maybe on lazy summer speed, but either way my summer vacation plans always include lots of crafting, at least in my head! Vacations are not taken alone, so one does have to go with the flow a bit, and if that means kayaking and beach combing, all the better! Last week’s party was full of great projects to keep you inspired, so enjoy, and I’ll be…

Top Kiev Spot: Zamkova Hora, Castle Hill With An Amazing View
Isn’t this view wonderful? I just loved Kiev and since we were only there on an introductory visit I can’t wait to go back and explore! Fortunately as we walked up Andrew’s Descent in Podil I remembered something about some stairs, so when I saw them I knew we just had to make the climb, and boy was it worth it. The view from Zamkova Hora, Castle Hill is not to be missed! Come, lets take a look!

Top Kiev Spot: The Colorful Architecture Of Podil
If you ever decide to visit Kiev, and I hope to go again in the not too distant future, do spend some time exploring the Podil neighborhood, as it is truly delightful! I just love the colorful stucco buildings, the street cars, the street art and a feeling that didn’t remind me of anywhere else in the world! Kiev has some truly amazing sights and you can do it really inexpensively, a studio apartment vacation rental in the Podil neighborhood can be rented for around $20 a night, really truly! In the mean time, come with me for a little walk around the neighborhood, won’t you?

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! We are now in the period on the Jewish calendar called “The Nine Days”, during which many activities are prohibited, such as swimming , and joyful activities such as listening to music and throwing parties of any kind. Fortunately one can certainly craft, so lets keep busy while not forgetting the essence of this important period, shall we? Last week’s features were fantastic, wish I had time to do some crafting myself, though not complaining a big summer vacation is coming up, and hoping to do everything I’ve been dreaming of! Okay, lets get inspired!

Kiev’s Khreshchatyk Street Is The Fifth Avenue Of The Ukraine!
After spending Passover in the Ukraine, in relatively economically depressed areas, arriving in Kiev and seeing one of the top 20 most expensive shopping streets in Europe was truly a shock. Kiev’s Khreshchatyk Street is said to be the Ukraine’s answer to London’s Oxford Street and New York’s Fifth Avenue, so don’t be surprised to row upon row of high end stores like Tiffany, Bulgari, Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc. And I must say, the grandeur of the architecture and the street itself is much more impressive than Fifth Avenue, so maybe do your shopping or rather window shopping here? Ah yes, and no beeping horns and traffic as the street…
