Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
We are enjoying the wonderful holiday of Succot, and the weather has been amazing, not too hot and not too cold! Succot is one of my very favorite holidays and so I am just popping in here as briefly as possible to get this party going! There is nothing quite like a week when we do not create anything new, like crafts, or crochet or painting etc. to get those gears turning! I can’t wait to get back to my art, after a little studio clean up, but for now, there are holidays to be enjoyed with family and friends! Thanks so much for joining me here, and enjoy the…

How to Convince Kids to Try New Foods
Creative moms are always coming up with new and exciting ideas when it comes to lunch and dinner for their kids. We might want to whip up those amazing looking lunches that we’d love to try ourselves, however, when your children are very specific about what they’re going to eat your time might be best spent with their tastes in mind? As a parent, you can’t force your kids to be into the same flavors and experiences as you are, but you can help them to step outside of their comfort zone every once in a while. Getting your kids to try new food can be a wonderful way to…

A Pomegranate Orchard In Meron, Israel
Just before Rosh HaShana, my husband and I took a mini vacation and enjoyed two very peaceful nights on the Moshav of Meron, just a 20 minute drive from our home, and actually part of the view we enjoy everyday! I just shared photos of vines laden with grapes in Meron, here, and now, a peek at trees laden with pomegranates, equally if not more stunning! Fall in Northern Israel is one of my favorites times of year, and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of watching the pomegranates mature and ripen, so lovely! The interesting thing is that the week prior to our mini vacation I was painting pomgranates…

Grape Orchards In The Shadow Of Mount Meron, Israel
We are now in the middle of the Succot holiday, and while there is no creativity happening, I can pop in to the blog to share with you some wonderful aspects of living where we live! The week before Rosh HaShana, my husband and I spent a few nights in Meron, a small moshav at the base of Mount Meron, and home to the burial site of Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai. Meron is home to a thousand residents, but becomes a hot spot for visitors at week’s end and especially on the anniversary of Rebbi Shimon’s death, when hundreds of thousands embark upon this spot. The two nights we spent…

Watercolor Pomegranates Card Craft
We are ushering in the wonderful holiday of Sukkot tomorrow night, and I am still crafting (of course) so you may also be in need of a sweet way to make some holiday cards or placecards? My daughter made this for me as a Rosh HaShana card, and it is just so sweet I had to share it with you! A branch of apples and pomegranates could work for Succot, or even Tu B’Shevat, the new year for fruit bearing trees, so if you don’t have time for it now, keep it in mind! I love the little touch of gold leaf, right? Okay, lets get started on this, time…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! With an amazing Yom Kippur now under out belts, building and decorating the succah is the next task at hand as well as cooking for shabbat with guests, and cooking for 7 days of Succot and 1 day of Simchat Torah, phew! Fortunately, I already cooked most of the main dishes for many meals and there are a bunch of Moroccan salads, also frozen, and ready to go, because Sunday will be Succah decoration day, something that is really really near and dear to my heart, so I don’t want to miss out on that! I am recycling…
