Apples & Bees & Blossoms Cross Stitch Pattern
Every year, and for every Jewish holiday I do try to make something new, whether lately with my boy’s crafting club, or not, and this Rosh HaShana the new decorations to honor the holiday are all about, very surprisingly to me, cross stitch!

Classic cross stitch embroidery is simple and satisfying (and addicting!) and a wonderful way to fill a canvas as you don’t have to fill in the entire thing by any means, like needlepoint. I’ll admit with the exception of one sampler that I made once upon a time, I was never a fan of cross…

Cross-Stitch Mountain Scene Hoop Art
This past summer we stayed in a vacation rental on Kibbutz Harduf that was packed with crafts and creativity.

Embroidered Pomegranite On Cardboard Ornament Craft
There is something just so very fun about embroidery on recycled materials, whether it be embroidery on styro-foam trays, or in this case on recycled cereal box cardboard! And while I did use traditional embroidery floss here, meaning whatever I had on hand, one can use yarn, string, plastic bag yarn (note to self) or…
