Cruciferous Vegetable Salad With Carrot Hearts
Have you heard the news about cruciferous vegetables and their wonderful health benefits? They have properties that enable one to greatly fight the preventive war against cancer, and so everyone should eat them daily. The good news is that the list is quite extensive and varied, and even for those like me that have to worry about not eating bugs in things like the very healthy kale, and who don't have bok choy readily available, there are still lots more veggies on the list! This salad, which I made using white cabbage, kohlrabi and radishes, has three cruciferous vegetables in it, and is fresh and delicious. Dress it with an…

Origami Hearts Wall Hanging Craft
This origami hearts wall hanging which can be an origami craft for kids, was actually a collaboration between myself and my ten year old son, the best kind of partnership I must say! My kids are very busy these days and there really aren't any huge windows of time for crafting, but I'm always trying to sneak little activities in here and there, and origami is truly a winner in this department. Doing origami with kids helps build all kinds of skills, and when you're done you actually have something fun to show for it. Simple origami for kids can be used in so many ways, and this wall hanging…

Origami Fruit
i'm so excited to share with you a super cute and super simple way to make a quick centerpiece, a fun place marker or a sweet mobile: origami fruit! Yes indeed, the same origami balloon shape that can be used to make origami string light covers can also be used to make adorable origami fruit in any color you like. These were made with a square made from letter sized paper, but much larger ones would work too, and if you make just four really large ones you can have a fantastic centerpiece in very little time. I'm planning on hanging these over our dining room table to celebrate…

Origami String Light Covers
Origami balloons or origami cubes folded from your favorite colored and patterned paper are a perfect way to dress up string lights for a special occasion or just because. I remember making these origami balloons in grade school to play with in the classroom on a winter day, so I was so happy to revisit this simple craft after so many years. Not to mention that I've been wanting to do this for ages and only now had a moment (well a lot more than that actually) to give it a try. I love the idea of combining solid paper in happy colors with patterned black and white paper, and…

Printable Fruit Slice Favor Boxes For Tu B’Shevat Now In The Shop!
At long last I have begun to realize my dream of creating fun printables for my Etsy shop, whose name has changed and is now called Creative Kinder, (For the Young And Young At Heart) a more appropriate name than the previous one I do think! After hours and hours of work, I now present to you printable fruit themed favor or cupcake boxes just in time for Tu B'Shevat crafting! Honestly these boxes look so great I'm enjoying looking at them stacked up casually, and I don't think I could part with any at the moment! But maybe by the time Tu B'Shevat rolls around in a few weeks,…

Succulent Party Favor Using Miniature Plastic Trophies
I love the look of antique silver trophies filled with fresh cut flowers from the garden, though no such trophies have appeared in my life, so for the time being I am having fun making little succulent party favors or succulent place holders using small plastic trophies and succulent cuttings from my container garden. It really is sweet isn't it? And of course you can add a nice little tag if you like, or even make up some small labels to commemorate the event. And even if you aren't having a party, so a bunch of these small trophies filled with succulent cuttings or already rooted tiny plants looks great…
