SO i was so excited about my bucket that I decided to make anothe one, with a fleece lining. did you know that fleece is not a very good fabric for making things stiff? you knew? of course you did… i shoulda known as well… so that project was cast aside in favour of this gorgeous box tutorial…
cube...
the fabric came from my friend Samantha in Japan. A fat quarter of gorgeous hedgehogs. I so love them! thanks Sam!
up close
that’s all for now!
have a great day!

or at least an attempt. I used this tutorial on sew mama sew and winged it. That probably explains why it didnt come out exactly as it should have. I dont have ink for my printer, so I traced the circle from the screen and hoped for the best in terms of circumference… What do you think?
bucket...
I think its cute.. I didnt have any iron on fleece, so I used an old fleece blanket and quilted the outside. But, I forgot to do that with the inside piece… I was rushing cuz I wanted results… oof…
up close...

my sewing machine has lost all connection to reality. The tension is not what it says, it’s ruffling everything and I am so unhappy! It needs a doctor NOW!!! NOw all I need is to find one… So, skirt 4 is on hold. Such a bummer…. here’s some pics of other stuff…
and a matching apron…
apron
and they were all put into a bag, going to a very special birthday girl… I really hope it gets there in time…
the bag
The apron is the Montessori apron, which is absolutely brilliant! I love love love that the kids can put them n themselves! and the oven mitt is from this tutorial. so cute and super easy!

This is so fun! I love look at everyone’s skirts, at the variety of fabrics that are out there… serious eye-candy!

I just joined a sew-along! How cool is that? I found Melissa’s blog recently (don’t ask me how, i have lost track) and she is having a lovely lazy days skirt sew-along. I am too excited! I already started cutting fabric for the first skirt… the first 5 of this gorgeous yummy too beautiful fabric… too me a long time to get up the courage to cut into it. It’s so great to just look at…. but that’s what fabric is for, right? to make something… what better thing than a pretty skirt….
My kids have been on vacation from school all week because it is Sukkot. We have been having a lot of fun together. Here are a few pics of our sukkah. I built it myself… ok, the pergola was there (my hubby built that),,,
our sukka
we also went up North and put our feet into the Jordan river.
ZIv
and…
Yagel
and next to us was a Druze family. The men came to fish and the women sat with their feet in the water…

and let’s not forget the cows we saw at one of the Kibbutzim in the area…
