    Not to make any of you feel guilty, but I’m so happy to say that I do have a following of readers who come to the blog and actually leave me comments now and again. I can’t tell you what a great feeling this is! Very often the readers that leave comments are those with…

  • Make An Etched Glass Platter For Pesach!

    Yesterday I introduced to you a nice glass painting project, so I thought it was perfect to follow that with this  etched glass project from Rivky Koenig's Crafting Jewish. (Which one lucky winner will receive, don't forget to enter the giveaway!) I know some of you are waiting for some more kid's crafts projects to…

  • Fit For Royalty: Use Glass Paint To Create Stunning Wine Glasses For Pesach!

    Wine glasses play an important role in our Pesach Seder, as during the course of the reading of the Haggadah, we drink four glasses of wine (or grapejuice, but this year the wine sounds pretty good to me!) So it sure makes sense to set your table with something festive and royal and at the…

  • Pom Pom Critters For Pesach Or Anytime!

    In case you are wondering what frogs and caterpillars have to do with Pesach, well let me tell you! A caterpillar actually has nothing to do with Pesach unless you decide he's really a locust or a wild beast, but frogs actually have an important role in the Pesach Seder, as the perpetrators in the…

  • Let The Pesach (Passover) Crafting Begin!

    I know, some of you are wondering when I'll start posting crafts for Pesach! With only one month between Purim and Pesach, well it's a bit of a tight schedule when it comes to crafting especially in light of the fact that there's so much work to do in the house. But since I really…

  • A Quick Purim Costume From the Classroom!

    My four year old came home from school the other day looking so cute I just had to share this with you!He is dressed up as Mordechai, the hero of the Purim story, and someone we'd definately like to emulate! His teacher made these for the whole class, and the simplicity is just too sweet!…

  • Recycle Cups & Make A Fun Noise Maker For Purim (Or Your Next Rhythm Project!)

    Here's a fun project to do with the kids today or tomorrow in preparation for Purim which starts Saturday night. (The exception being that Purim is celebrated Sunday night in Jerusalem.) I did this one, but kids can certainly have fun applying stickers and tape themselves. The noise maker or grogger is a classic Purim…

  • Serve A Whole Smoked Salmon for Purim!

      Here's an idea for a delicious appetizer course that your guests will go crazy over. A WHOLE Smoked Salmon! For the past three years we have tested this idea, and now we can't imagine Purim without a giant fish gracing our table! Now a smoked fish with no embellishments, looks well, dead, so be…

  • Embellish It With Round Metallic Stickers!

    Round metallic stickers are a craft staple over at my house! I don't know what it is, but they're just so useful and add a nice shiny touch to so many projects. I use them to make polka dots on colored paper, for joining ribbon on a gift, for adding a small touch to a…

  • Fill The Walls With Fun Masks From Cut Paper!

    Purim is a week from Sunday, so now is a great time to give the kids a fun decorating project. Why not fill a whole wall with paper masks of all kinds? It's so much fun and looks great! When we lived in Jerusalem, we had an small entryway, and I used to fill it…

  • A Crocheted Beanie: For A Costume Or A Cute Baby Gift!

    Suffice it to say, this year I'm going all out on the costumes for my little ones. A working sewing machine and a blog that demands lots of new material are helping motivate me to create lots of fun things for Purim, and in doing so I'm also sharing with my children the joy of…

  • A Happy New Month On The Jewish Calender!

    Some of you may or may not be aware of this, but the Jewish people have their own calender. And we really do live by this calender except for things having to do with business and government operations which are run according to the Gregorian calender in order to be in sync with the rest…
