About

Hi, my name is Sara Rivka. Thanks for joining me here.

Born and raised in California, educated in New York and now living in the gorgeous rolling hills of Northern Israel with my Israeli husband and five children. I am an Interior and Graphic Designer by profession but have also worked in the clothing industry on 7th Avenue and in advertising in Soho.

I left a high profile designer life in Manhattan for spiritual pursuits and ended up meeting my husband in Israel. We have chosen to live in the North of the country to give our children a quiet upbringing close to nature and away from the distractions of commercialization.

I’m always thinking about how to even start tackling that list of dreams, though since a craft blog was on that list, at least I can cross one thing off!

In case you are wondering, yes, life in Israel is certainly very different from how I grew up, and the everyday can be scary and worrisome indeed, though I would not choose to live anywhere else, and the challenges and the rewards are what give life meaning!

Today in 2025, I have returned to giving complimentary crafting lessons to grade school boys as a way of giving back to my community, and the opportunity to help direct these sweet young lives in a direction that includes lots of creativity and resourcefulness is truly precious and fulfilling.
