Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With more rain and cooler temps here in Northern Israel, things are finally starting to feel like Fall, phew! The rain means blankets of green shoots covering the fields, which is so lovely, and this week I was really surprised to see some new growth in the meadow where I try to take walks a few plus times a week. Chanukah is on the horizon and this year is all about artful gift wrap, recycling crafts and lots of stars to bring light and joy. I am continuing my personal journey with paint and brush and sketchbook, and it feels so good! I look back at some of my simple crafts and wonder why I didn’t think to add a little sketch here or there! Such is the creative journey and looking back and realizing that your aesthetics have changed a bit is a great thing, as progress or at least a shift means the creative gears aren’t just turning to churn out more of the same, but rather bringing on something new altogether! Speaking of something new, why not challenge yourself with something you’ve never done, like crocheting or sewing or knitting to bring some warmth into the approaching winter! Lets get inspired by the features from last week’s party, shall we?

There is not a fresh cranberry in sight here in Israel, so I’ll let you guys go to town. And while you are at it, make some for the whole neighborhood and leave little gifts on everyones doorstep!

That is it for the features, what have you been up to?
