Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Today is the 17th of Tammuz a minor fast day and the very sad day on the Jewish calendar that marks the beginning of a three week period of mourning the destruction of the Jewish Holy Temple not once but twice! Not really the kind of day that one would have a party, but since this party is more about filling the world with creativity than having fun to distract ourselves from the woes of the world, I say, the “party” must go on. Creativity and crafting are wonderful ways to give back to the world, and to spread joy and peace and try our very hardest to erase persecution. Enough already, right? Just as the Jewish people has never given up hope of a perfect world with peace for all, so too, those of us who are makers need to move forward by making, and creating and encouraging others to do so as well. Each creative act adds goodness to the world, really! And now when you find yourself crafting rather than possibly doing other things you might need to be doing, you can say, “hey, creative jewish mom told me I’m contributing to the world, certainly more important than……” So with that in mind, I now present to you the very inspiring features from last week’s party:
This unicorn cactus party centerpiece or gift idea from busy being Jennifer is beyond adorable and a great way to use those grafted cacti! Okay i just realized these are likely artificial, but either way.
Love these fun pom pom ice cream cup decorations from white house crafts, just make some pom poms and the rest is simple!
Another amazing star quilt from flamingo toes, love the blue and white theme, gorgeous!
A fun beaded jar lantern from sum of their stories, and jeans scraps covered frames from pillar box blue are a great way to use up denim scraps after you’ve made one of her other amazing upcycled jeans projects!
An adorable little felt rabbit stuffy from handmade by amalia.
An embroidered watercolor on canvas from flamingo toes, using a new line of paint from Martha Stewart that acts like acrylic but looks like watercolor, hmmmm, gotta try that!
A fun crocheted frog in a bathing suit from Anne Marie Haak blog, and fun crocheted star coasters from eye love knots.
Ginx craft is at it again with her amazing knit fairies, and I just love these!
Speaking of knitting this knit Moroccan style stars hat is gorgeous, from
These lovely gallery shelves are a clever way to hide thermostats, alarm boxes and any unsightly electronics that just should not be seen, from clean and scentsible.
That is it for the features, what have you been up to?
