A Tzimmer Near The Sea! (A Quaint Cabin North Of Nahariya)
Tzimmer means room in Yiddish, but in vernacular Hebrew it's more like a bed and breakfast, often without the breakfast. Northern Israel is ideal for those seeking to "get away" and there are many many tzimmers dotting the gorgeous rolling hills. On our trip to Nahariya (here) which I told you about last week,…

A Creative And Inspiring Container Garden
Does this appeal to you? I've been keeping my eye on this tiny oasis for some time now and finally had a chance to take a few photos.

My Daughter’s Sweet Matchbox Dresser.
I have wanted to do this project myself for years! How many exactly I really don’t know, but I’m now happy to say that I can live vicariously through my almost-eight year old daughter. (I think it’s okay in this case, don’t you?) She was looking for a project to do today but kept picking…

A Visit To Nahariya, A Beach Town In the Far North of Israel!
Where in the world is this? It could be so many places, Florida? Los Angeles? Nice? Wrong, it's Nahariya, a clean beachy town on the Northern coast of Israel. My husband and I took an overnight trip to visit some friends and see some water! Ahhhh! Nahariya is just down the coast from Rosh HaNikra,…

Crocheting With Yarn And Jute: Make A Fun Portable Vase (Cover) Or A Water Bottle Holder
There is something about my latest little crochet project that just makes me so happy! You may or may not feel the same way, but let me tell you why I think it's so wonderful. First of all, I actually set out to make a water bottle holder, not a vase cover, so this metamorphosis…

Chag Sameach! Have A Wonderful Shavuos!
Gorgeous Spring wildflowers and weeds from the Galil, an arrangement for our Shavuos table last year! I generally send the kids out to cut some flowers (non-endangered ones, that is) in the afternoon prior to Shavuos, so you’ll jsut have to wait until next year to see this year’s arrangement! Starting on Tuesday night at…

Sculpting With Pipe Cleaners: Fun and Practically Mess Free!
I’m sure you realize that I don’t generally worry about mess when crafting with the kids, as that would be very limiting! I try to protect work surfaces and the kids as best as I can, and the rest is part of the deal! That being said, this is the perfect project to keep little…

Cheese Cake In All Shapes & Sizes for Shavous!
For those of you who who aren't familiar with Shavuos, it is the holiday in which we eat dairy foods, and especially cheesecake! In our family, we have a dairy breakfast with cheesecake and other treats on the morning of Shavuos and a meat meal in the afternoon, since my husband isn't really a dairy…

An Artful Mount Sinai: A Great Collage Project For Shavuos!
Here we are…..all 600,000 of us adults…..waiting to receive the Torah from Har Sinai! The holiday of Shavuos celebrates this amazing event that happened 3,700 years ago, which in itself is amazing! For Pesach I created a crossing the Red Sea diorama of sorts, here, and fully intended to do something similar for Shavous, but…
