Finger Knitting Extravaganza!
As you can see, finger knitting was quite popular around here this summer, especially with my seven year old son, who has no qualms about doing his finger knitting in the car or even while waiting for us to complete our business just about anywhere. We used all kinds of yarn and even some cotton…

A Visit To The Jerusalem Zoo!
A street scene through a Jerusalem neighborhood on the way to the zoo. At long last we were able to visit the Jerusalem Zoo on our "goodbye to summer" overnighter in Jerusalem. I know many of you enjoy seeing photos of our adventures around Israel, so I thought I'd share the zoo with you too,…

Homemade Spelt Tortillas!
Sorry, I don't have a photo for you, at this point the tortillas are history! I made a batch of spelt tortillas right before shabbat, because my oven isn't working and I really didn't have time to bake some pitas using my whole wheat pita recipe, (but with spelt) and my pita pot (which only…

Creativity With Paper And Yarn….An MP4 Player!
When my son was looking for string and scissors yesterday, I assumed he was going to do some finger knitting, or cats in the cradle. So not long after, when he was walking around the house sporting his new MP4 (actually MP5, he informed me) player made from yarn and paper, we all just had…

Watercolor Painting With Pencil Drawing
Isn't this little watercolor painting sweet, and so perfect for summer? Truthfully my daughter painted this over a year ago, and we just came upon it, which is perfect timing, as I really didn't have anything to share with you today! Watercolors are a great medium for all ages, and kids can produce nice works…

A Visit To Jerusalem’s Old City
A familiar site on the streets of Israel…the juxtaposition of our tiny country's need for security with the beauty of it's very rich history, sigh. Last week before my boys started school, we said goodbye to summer with a overnight trip to Jerusalem. I've got some interesting photos to share with you, and today we'll…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week we were scrambling to enjoy the last few days of summer vacation as the boys start school according to the Jewish calender and the month of Elul, which is now! Yikes, that means only one month until Rosh HaShana, so much to do before year’s end! So without…

Crepe Paper Flowers Centerpiece
I recently found some heavy weight crepe paper at a local discount store and so I couldn't resist making some large crepe paper flowers for a community gathering. Grouped together in a simple metal pitcher, they looked great, and while not exactly quick to whip up, they are certainly festive and can be enjoyed for…

Mosaics From Beach Combing Treasures!
Yesterday we returned to one of our favorite little beaches on the Mediterranean Sea, and I while I was expecting to find a bunch of nice shells as I had previously, this time I was pleasantly surprised by a huge collection of sanded (literally) ceramic tile pieces! There I was looking for shells when all…

Mediterranean Sea At Sunset
Yesterday after a very full afternoon of sourcing supplies for a design project my husband and I are working on, with two little boys in tow, we at long last made it to the seashore, the Mediterranean Sea, ahhhhhh. And while the sun was setting as we arrived, we still had a wonderful time, as…

More Dimensional Drawing With Lines!
Yesterday I realized that the technique we used to make the three-dimensional hand drawings, here, could most certainly be used for a variety of shapes, right? This technique is great for satisfying that desire to doodle, since you can draw something just about any size and on any little scrap of paper that happens to…

Drawing Exercise: How To Draw A Hand With Dimension
Here's a fun drawing exercise that's great to have under your hat (or up you sleeve) when the kids are in need of an activity, and you're in need of an activity that doesn't require fancy supplies or make a mess! I saw this idea a while back on Craft Schooling Sunday (will provide the…
