Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With Hanukkah approaching in about 3 weeks, it is time to get crafting, and I hope to share some of the fun I’ve been up to, just still not up and running with the old computer which now looks like it may have seen its final days, sigh. Sooooo, in the mean time I’ve been using a little laptop but avoiding uploading my photos to that until now by reposting old material, which by the way is very abundant in my archives, so do check that out! As is the custom here at the party each year I…

A DIY Dreidel Shaped Pillow For Hanukkah!
I made this dreidel shaped pillow a few year back, but thought I’d share it with you again as it is truly a fun item to bring out for the holiday or give as a gift. Enjoy! It is true, you don’t see a whole lot of sewing projects from me, as I’m quite a rookie, but I just couldn’t resist trying my hand at this idea that i’ve had running around my head for a few years now: a dreidel shaped pillow with a little pocket to hold Hanukkah prizes! It is a perfect project for those new to sewing (or not) and uses a pillow insert so that you…

Easy Sewing Projects You Can Do At Home With Your Kids
Above: Felt gift pouches are a great project for a beginner, see the original post here. Spending time with your kids is essential for their intellectual and emotional growth. You can spend quality time together by playing your kid’s favorite sport or any activity that allows engagement between parent and child. Bonding time can and should include teaching your children something that you love to do such as painting, gardening, crafting or sewing, just to name a few. Stargazing could also be on that list! I love creative activities that all build small motor coordination as well as skills that are useful in life in general, and one of those…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With winter approaching now is a perfect time to get out those knitting needles and crochet hooks, and why not make some handmade gifts to warm up loved ones or even better, strangers without homes or newborns in need of hats. There are so many ways to spread joy with our handmade creations, so do give that some thought. I can’t say I’ve been crocheting much as instead I’ve been making a truckload of Chanukah decorations, some of which I’ll be happy to share with you just as soon as my computer arrives safely back home, hopefully very…

Cutest Swedish Cafe Ever In Falun
One on the jaw dropping design surprises on our trip to Sweden was entering the cutest cafe on earth, in Falun, at the site of the historic copper mine. Honestly, my pictures do not do justice to the place and I was embarrassed to take photos of the actual bakery section, so just take my word for it. Visit the mine in order to visit the cafe! Of course we couldn’t eat any of the food, but black coffee and other drinks are generally kosher, so we could still sit and enjoy! Basically the cafe consists of many rooms and outdoor areas, decorated with a really effortless looking mix of…

Historic Falun Copper Mine In Dalarna, Sweden
On our travels in Sweden this past summer we had many amazing experiences that were muo ostly unplanned, and while I enjoyed anything having to do with water, either ocean or lake the most, there were also other destinations that made our trip very well rounded indeed, including a stop at the historic copper mine in Falun, which is in the Dalarna region. As it turns out, this is a World Unesco Heritage Site, so certainly worth a visit if you are in the area, and if you are traveling with kids it looks like the underground tour might be something to consider. We chose to walk around the grounds,…
