Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Wow, July is already half way through, and no return to school in sight, just hoping that there will be come Sept.1st (for my daughter) and Rosh Chodesh Elul (for my sons, whose schools are according to the Jewish calendar) though nothing is certain. We are in the Jewish mourning period known as the “three weeks” which until next Wednesday means no haircuts, no music and no parties, with the rules becoming much stricter for the last nine days, as we approach the saddest day of the year, T’isha B’Av, which is also a major fast day.  I am hoping to get some more Jerusalem themed crafts out into the world in the coming week, so now that I’ve said it, I hope it will happen. As you can see from the previous posts this week, most of my creative time has been going into filling my new twice the size sketchbook, which I am loving! I’m realizing that drawing flowers over and over is going to help when I get pack to painting them, since if you want to abstract something it sure helps to know what that something really looks like! Okay, I’ve got two sinks full of dishes and a bit of cooking to do, so hope everyone is well, and enjoy the features from last week’s party!
