Crochet A Wonderfully Rustic Basket From Rags!
As you may know, I’ve been really into crocheting and knitting with rags lately. And my desire to make a crocheted basket together with the idea that one such bowl/basket would be a nice gift for my brother’s house in Sonoma led to the question: “Mom, do you have any old sheets that you don’t…

Spring cleaning season has arrived in my home, with Pesach (Passover) just one month away!
