Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here. With Passover in less than a week (starts Friday night) the pressure is on to get the house and most importantly, the kitchen, truly clean! The fridge is scoured as are any cabinets and counters that will be used for Passover and all food items not “kosher for Passover” are locked up or eaten before the holiday, and if that food is crackers or bread or anything containing flour, that item most likely will be eaten outside starting on Sunday in order to avoid pieces or crumbs in the house. While Jewish law requires considerably less cleaning than…

Crocheted Newborn Quick Baby Booties
Crocheted booties are the perfect little gift to show your love when a new baby graces your family, circle of friends, or community. (This would be a great charity pattern as well!) And once you’ve got the pattern down, you can surely crochet these in the car on the way to visit the newborn, or in my case, on the way to the brit! Well not these exact booties, but I have been know to crochet an entire sweater in the car, mind you I had a few hours. Crocheted booties are a fun little gift, a great way to add a homemade touch to a large gift, and something…

Crocheted Newborn Baby Bear Hat
Sometimes crocheting a gift for a newborn baby just seems like the best way to show your love, and this newborn baby bear hat is the perfect little baby hat as it is quick and adorable! I fortunately had a project in progress that I unraveled in order to make this hat in the perfect blush pink color, and I just love the results.

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday and wishing everyone a chodesh tov, a happy new month, as it is now the Jewish month of Nissan! Nissan means Spring, and it also means the pressure is on, with Passover in just two short weeks and soooooo much to do. Not one but TWO close neighbors are marrying daughters this week, and we have to go to both weddings which are several hours away, so my daughter and I are going to take a mini vacation and just stay overnight in the Tel Aviv/Ramat Gan area, meaning the pressure is on even more to finish all of our huge tasks. At the moment…

How To Make Origami Pinwheels While Spring Cleaning
Origami pinwheels, also referred to as origami windmills, are simple to make and a great way to make some spring decorations while also using up bits of scrapbooking or other paper you have hanging around collecting dust! I love making origami from wrapping paper, so that is game as well, as are recycled magazine pages and just about anything thin enough to fold. I came across this two sheets of A4 sized bubble wrap printed paper that I made a good twelve years ago, and instead of tossing it I decided to make some origami pinwheels, and I just love how cheerful they are. You can use these pinwheels to…
