Happy Hannukah: Day 7 & 8
Here’s the menorah I lit each night. My mom bought it for me when I was in graduate school. I love it. I admit it. I got nothing crafty for these last two days. So I will just have to wish you a Happy Hannukah!

What is Hannukah without Hannukah cookies? Tried out a new recipe for the cookie and the frosting. Both came out exquisite. I will be posting them at some point.
Happy Hannukah: Day 5
During the party, I wanted a bigger more present menorah than my little one. So I stopped by Cost Plus World Market and picked up these little votive holders. At Costco I found a set of 30 LED candles for $15 (including a whole extra set of batteries). So I put the ones with fake…

I couldn’t let Minnie be the only fashionable one at the party, so I had a matching apron. Don’t they look nice together?
Happy Hannukah: Day 3
Try as I might, life gets in the way and I wasn’t able to post every day. But life is good, so here are my catch up posts. 🙂 This is Minnie’s Hannukah outfit. She wore it at the Hannukah party we had (where she was SO well behaved!) and was just the belle of…

Of course for this edition of Food Friday I was going to do latkes. What else on Hannukah? I used the recipe from my Jewish cookbook. This is the cookbook my mom has as well. It’s out of print now but she saw a copy at a garage sale and snatched it up for me.…

For each day of Hannukah I plan to have a different craft to show you. For this first day, I have a simple wreath. There’s actually one on each side of the door, but they’re identical. I chose this one because you can see the mezuzah which hubby and I got for our wedding. Its…
DetailsA little more Thanksgiving
Wanted to share a couple other items I sewed for Thanksgiving. Above is a collar I made for Minnie. I used the same three fabrics you saw in the tablecloth and runner for everything, working with leftovers and scraps. Below is a skirt I made with leftover tablecloth fabric. And finally, since we already had…

Since this was my first year doing Thanksgiving at my house, I went all out with the sewing. In the above picture you can see most of the stuff I made including the tablecloth, the napkins, the table runner and the bread basket liner. All the napkins and the tablecloth had lovely mitered corners and…
DetailsHappy Thanksgiving!
I’m sure I’ll have another post-Thanksgiving post to show all the items I’ve made for Thanksgiving. This is my first Thanksgiving. I’ll be attempting my own turkey, my own stuffing and my own mashed potatoes. All of which I’ve never made. I also made a tablecloth, table runner, napkins and matching outfits for me and…
