How about an artful apple collage to celebrate fall, or maybe you need some fun kitchen art? Apple collages could also make great cards for Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year, or even fun place cards or gift tags. Keep it simple, and the results will be great!

While Victorian homes elsewhere in the United States and in England were built from a variety of materials, stone and brick were not widely available in San Francisco, and certainly not in the quantities that were needed, so wood was the predominate building material. Wood elements and features were ordered from catalogs, and every…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks for joining me here!

I already have lots of colorful apples on hand, but maybe it is time to create some fun fish or collage carrots? Time…
