Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Passover is coming to an end, with the last day being Monday here in Israel, with an additional eighth day elsewhere in the world. Can't believe it's over so soon! I'd be happy eating matzo another few weeks! Last week's party welcomed guests from around the world…..places like Guatemala, Turkey,…

I am rushing to finish the cooking for our seder tonight, with five hours left on the clock and laundry to fold and a pair of pants to hem, among other things, so I'm just dropping in for a moment to wish you all a Pesach Kasher V'Sameach and may we all merit to witness…

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! With Passover less than 48 hours away, I'm rushing to finish up so many things before the holiday, not to mention cooking! Nonetheless, no matter how much sleep I'm going to loose over the next two nights, it's a great feeling to arrive at this wonderful seven day (8 outside…

My ten year old daughter made these fun recycled plastic yogurt tub gift baskets all by herself! Of course, I had a large part in the project, namely having the foresight to save these containers, and am so happy that she was receptive to the idea of using them for her Purim mishloach manot for…

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, and wishing you all a very joyful Purim! Purim is from Saturday night until Sunday night in most locations around the world, except in Jerusalem, where the holiday is observed one day later, from Sunday night to Monday night. We have lots of festivities on Sunday, and I still have…

You can make a gorgeous peacock costume for your daughter with just a little effort, but no sewing whatsoever! And if you forget about the fact that most peacock costumes show the feathers raised behind the head, well then your job will be much simpler!   I caught my daughter as she was racing out…

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! With just one week left until Purim, and a very busy week ahead, I'm running off to work on costumes with my kids, so here are my favorites from last week: Love this little amigurumi mushroom from little things blogged, and this heart pillow from mon makes things would be…

I recently finished a knitting project (that I have yet to share with you) and thought I’d add some details to it with duplicate stitch embroidery. (Google it, you’ll find lots of tutorials.)
