I have a confession to make, are you ready? I introduced my kids to soft boiled eggs so that I could buy egg cups and crochet egg cozies. And it turns out that they actually like soft boiled eggs, now and again, and it's an especially convenient little meal, with a good salad and some hearty b...

I am one proud and happy mama, on account of my eleven year old daughter's desire to make a birthday cake for her father, and the confidence that allowed her to do it without any supervision from mom, infact I wasn't even home for most of the production! My husband's birthday is on the first n...

Fun crafts for Chanukah are a perfect way to get kids excited about the upcoming holiday, just one week away! A great chanukah kid's craft is making these dancing chanukah figures using very simple supplies together with just a bit of creativity. The figure you see here (which looks like a fla...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! It has been a very busy week for me, which means there weren't a whole lot of posts between this week's party and last week's party, but with Chanukah quickly approaching, I'll just have to find time to share with you our holiday preparations! Last week's party...

It snowed today, and that means that my beloved honey crisp apples will soon be out of season, so in an attempt to consume even more apples, I made pull apart bread stuffed with a fresh apple and walnut filling. This cake is basically a version of the ever popular monkey bread - balls of ye...

Wow, look what showed up at our back door, a crocheted flower medallion stool cover, that's quite simple to crochet, and turns a simple stool into a fabulous decorative (and useful) item in your home! Of course, the stool didn't really just show up, I had to do a little research to come up wit...

I don't know about you, but just because a creative mom like me doesn't have time for fancy desserts, (and tries to keep food for my family on the healthy side) doesn't mean that I don't want to finish a festive (Shabbos) meal with something a little special! I am always looking for quick way...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, the linky party that spans the globe! Last week there were contributors from The United States, Guatemala, Australia, Jakarta, South Africa, Pakistan, Israel, Slovakia, Macedonia, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain and The United Kingdom...

Isn't this festive piece of kid printed wrapping paper just too fun to actually use? And it even looks like a geometric tree, don't you think? A perfect fall craft with some rich earthy colors, or not! After making doodle wrapping paper, we decided to re-visit an old favorite, namely potato pr...

At long last I have whipped up a crocheted stool cover for one of our simple wooden stools, and it turns out to actually be a crocheted doily stool cover! Truthfully I bought this stool last spring because I just had to crochet a stool cover, really. And then we realized how handly these stoo...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week we had contributors from so many interesting places literally around the world: The United States, Canada, Australia, Jakarta, Germany, South Africa, Pakistan, Israel, Macedonia, Italy, Portugal, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, The United Kingdom an...

It's time to start thinking about holiday season, with Chanukah just one month away, yikes! So why not start with some simple DIY wrapping paper that is all about doodling.....a great way to relax before you start stressing out about all the holiday preparations (in my case, not yours of cours...

Yes, you really can make your own hula hoop, and a hula hoop that works oh so much better than those you might buy in the store. And you can make giant ones for adults, which are so much fun! As it turns out, most inexpensive hoola hoops that one can buy are much too light which makes it ver...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week's party was filled with great crafts from around the world, specifically Australia, Jakarta, Guatemala, ARGENTINA (a new one!) Brazil, The United States, The United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy and Israe...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Hard to believe another week has flown by, but indeed it has. And I had great crafting plans for last week, oh well, better luck this week! As always last week's party was wonderful on account of all the amazing contributions from around the world. Thanks to al...

A view of the top of the Kinneret (Lake Tiberius) from Moshav Ramot, Western Golan Heights Who would have thought that a visit to the orthodontist would mean getting acquainted with a gorgeous moshav on the western border of the Golan Heights? Not me. Don't orthodontists see patients in city o...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday. Fall is in the air here in Northern Israel, and for some readers, such as one in Hungary, temperatures have begun to drop enough warranting the necessity to crochet lovely cowls. Oh how I do love the season change and how it gets my crafty gears turning! Speaki...

It's fall, and that means that my Sennicio oribe gorge succulent is in bloom once again, and looking I must say, stunning! One of the wonderful things about container gardening is nurturing and tending to plants over a number of years and enjoying the rewards in the form of blooming flowers....

I've been wanting to try the technique of connecting granny squares or hexigons as you go for quite some time, so a huge batch of yarn that I purchased in the United States this summer certainly left me with no exucuses, except of course for lack of time! I shared with you a while back my te...

Introducing some super fun recycled packaging robots that you can make for birthday party decor or anytime, just because. These robots can be made by kids with some adult assistance for the assembly, or by parents who just might want to surprise a little one on their birthday, which is what ...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Phew, after days and days of guests and great family time, the sukkah has been taken down and carefully packed up for next year, and it's time to get back to our usual life, which also means a bit more time for sharing some more crafts, hopefully! Last week's ...

I love Sukkah decorations that one can save from year to year, and for years to come. And one of the most precious ways to do that is to insert kid's sukkah art into some frames that you very likely have collecting dust somewhere! My young sons did these drawings last year, and it was so much...

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, the Sukkot get together! One of my favorite Jewish holidays, Sukkot lasts 7 days, so all the preparations are enjoyed for a solid week! I spent three days preparing the Sukkah, and am thrilled with the results, fortunately! In most homes the mother says to the ...
