Tape the rose pests away from your garden

I was walking around the garden when I saw that of my roses buds and leaves are filled with pests.

I immediately went to check on the web what to do and how to get rid of the pests in a natural way.


Aphids appear on the underside of leaves, young shoots and on buds during spring and summer.  
I found very helpful advice on how to get rid of different pests and diseases in the garden

I decided to adopt one method I leant and this is how it works….

Take a wide adhesive tape




Wrap it around your fingers , with sticky side out.



Bring the tape close to the pests…stick them to them and see the results



Good Luck & enjoy your roses!

Stabilo boss highlighting marker costume-DIY Tutorial

Starting to write again after so long….

I was asked a question today, following a clip I uploaded to YouTube a few years ago;

How we made the Stabilo boss costumes for our girls.

The most difficult thing about costume is what to make because the idea is the hardest part .

We were lucky the girls came up with the idea and we were

"only left with the making of..."

Another thing to remember is... the effect of a costume is much stronger when it come in multiples of the same kind!!!!

After this information the last tip is......

Get a friend to work with or even two.....everything looks & becomes easier that way!!!!!

Well…

The best way to explain is with photos....

For the hats- marker cover

*Sol foamed plastic surfaces of 2 mm thickness. Easy to cut, mufti-purpose, can be pasted on it and decorate with ease .

*cardboard to keep the shape

*everything glued with hot glue gun

*for the comfortably of the shoulders the inner part is lined with foam.

The body- Marker

Stretch fabric in various colors according to marker (each girl told us what color she wants)

Measure according to size of child or adult (I don't have the exact measurements) we made the size of our children they were 12 years old, but was also used adults ,since the fabric was stretch and elastic

We attached the foam to the cloth with glue

Foam mattress

Enlarge the pattern on to paper and make holes along the pattern

Mark on fabric according the holes

Fill in the color

costumes ready to ware

it even fits me..... I'm inside!

Don"t forget use your imagination .... everything is possible to make :-))

Have a Happy Purim .... Halloween

My daughter asked for a new bag...

My Daughter really deserves a bag!!!

It is not the first time my daughter asked me to make her a bag,
at least a hundred times or more,
I finally agreed...
So, this afternoon we sat together, my daughter and I, in the studio,
picked the colors she wanted,
drew the design, decided what fabric, which handles and selected the buttons...

This is the outcome of this adventure...

Reversible cotton bag








magnetic closure ,two pockets,two webbing handles
15"-w, 14"-h,4"-d

Cruise on the Celebrety Equinox

First time cruiser

We just returned this week after a 8 day cruise to Norway Fjords on the new ship Celebrity Equinox.

The trip was just a wonderful experience and left a great impression on us.

Visiting different countries and ports, staying in a deluxe hotel on the water without having to pack over and over again, meeting people from all over the world ,shows,sport, hot glass show, grass on upper deck great food and much more.

Great for all ages our kids loved the cruise.

We are sure to make future cruises.

A few posts ago I was so happy to tell everyone how I managed to make a Treasury on Etsy.
Well----------------

I was so happy then...

Since then, I have been addicted to making treasuries.;-)

My family does not understand why I'm addicted and what I get out of it , I continue anyway.

I try to explain that;

I ENJOY MAKING TREASURIES :-) :-) :-) but that doesn't count

1.Lots more people go into my shop-

I check it on Google Analytics and see the the graph going up.

2.when I feature a shop, many times that same shop would feature us as gesture,
if they make a treasury themselves.


Today we are featured in two treasuries by Gailai

and one treasury by dafnadagan































3.Since I started making treasuries, the amount of hearts for our shop has grown.

4.many people go into my blog -also according to analitics.

5. we are posted in different blogs like: Gailai -first apperarance on Etsy FP
