Retro Hannukah Apron (aka Simplicity 2592)
I finally got around to writing a review of my apron from Hannukah (see the original post along with Minnie’s matching outfit). The gist of it is that this is a pretty good pattern, but next time I’d do all the layers out of the same fabric. The changes I made were: 1. Do a…

Food Friday: Latke Recipe
It was pointed out to me that I never posted my latke recipe. So here it is for those of you that are interested! My recipe makes 2 large servings of latkes since it’s just me and hubb. Let’s be honest, when you’re making latkes a large serving is never bad 🙂 This recipe was…

Happy Hannukah: Day 7 & 8

Food Friday: Happy Hannukah Day 2
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.…

Happy Hannukah: Day 1
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…
