Starting again after a long pause

We have been working on so many things that we didn't have time to post in our blog.

One of the difficulties for us is that English is not our mother tongue.

At least it's a good excuse Ha! Ha!


I really don't understand how all the bloggers have so much time to do everything.

They are probably much younger and were born with a computer on

their laps like my children. For me everything in the computer seems

so difficult but… I'm not going to give up; if my 91 year old father in

law can do it maybe I could too.

We have been making many new things.

Fabric bags and went on to vinyl - oilcloth fabric bags.










The bags were a hit we had lots of orders

as they are the latest fashion.

We would love to add a tutorials and tips on how to work with vynal fabric or oilcloth, we will do this in the near future.


We worked for some time looking for a solution for our book reading.

A book cover that would hold that book, turn the pages give light and if it could read for us out loud it would be perfect

We will introduce our new project in the near future!!!

The Old City of Jerusalem- Colors & Scents

Walking around the small alleys of the old city in Jerusalem you
see beautiful colors and smell the so many different scents.

We present only a few so that you'll catch the idea.








veils & scarfs













beads & gem stones


incense & spices


Things we love...

Hope you can feel the atmosphere!!!


Halloween,Dressing up & all the fun

So your kids want to dress up for Halloween.
This is what we did;
We asked our girls what they want to dress up to,
It is a consequence to take, as you don't know what the answer would be.
Their answer .......Stabilo Boss Markers!!!

They were four and each wanted a different color.

We worked the entire week and this is the result.









I know we posted this earlier but since the holiday is coming up we wanted to remind everyone of the idea.

Show off flowers in my garden- The apple of Soddom

School started so we wish all the kids good luck and a wonderful year.
We are full of energy and are ready to start working on lots of new ideas with fabric .



Thing we love






We wanted to share with you all the beautiful plant that grows
in my garden it is called :
The apple of Soddom


After the flowers of the Soddom Apple open – the bees
visit for nectar. Later the fruits start to develop.
The fruits grow very fast, as there's almost nothing in them,
only seeds, that have silk parachutes to help them
fly in the light wind to new places where they can start a new
life cycle. In the picture you can see that
some of the seeds disconnect themselves from the fruit to start
their journey.
Flowering Distrebution:Dead Sea & Judah desert, Central Negev (Desert), Eilat Region

The story that is told for the origin of the plant is that God was so angry after he saw the sins of the inhabitants of Sodom, Gomorrah that he cursed and changed the apple trees in that area. Apple trees that gave sweet and juicy fruit turned into fruit that is hollow and poisonous.
