Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, and thanks so much for joining me here! This week we have had a huge heat wave, which has been a bit exhausting, despite air conditioning! (I did see that in cities in Southern Israel the high was 107F, which is wow, HOT, so I’m grateful for or relative coolness.) I was not able to take my early evening nature walks as it was just too hot for any exercise, and really looking forward to resuming that next week hopefully when the temps cool down. Of course I really can not complain about the super hot weather as it does minimize the spread of Corona virus which is super important now that Israel is basically opening back up again……with rules of course, but school is back on for many, and stores are open. The weekly outdoor market (souk or shuk) in our town resumed this week, so for those who depend on shopping there for lower prices, (and just because it is a way of life) well phew.

I have been spending my creative time art journaling and sketching in my journal both of which are just soooo satisfying! And looking forward to hopefully getting into some painting soon. Would love to paint some flowers for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, coming up on Thursday night, but since that may not be realistic as done previously with acrylics, maybe some watercolor flower paintings is? Hmmm, stay tuned for that, but first my son has a birthday on Friday night, and with daughter taking care of a fancy cake I need to get cracking with the decorations, yikes! Okay, that is all for now, enjoy the features from last week’s party!
