Stella was the Shabbat child at nursery school on Firday. She took her duties very seriously, passing out cups and challah to everyone. And she picked the first Shabbat song to sing with the class. And she got to be line leader going out to the playground AND back in again. Charlie and I can't…
what’s going on
Okay, I am officially in the black hole of craft book writing. I sew and sew, draw and create, and sew some more and in the end have no pictures to post here. This is a bit frustrating, but that's okay. I think this is a common experience among craft bloggers who write books. So…
the Sukkah is up
The Sukkah is up! We put the walls up on Friday afternoon in about 45 minutes. This is our Sukkah's fourth anniversary and we're old pros now. It rained all day Saturday and threatened rain for Sunday morning so our annual Sukkah party didn't happen, but we managed to put the roof on and the…
i couldn’t resist
When Kim at Three Graces emailed me asking for six more tiny bird collages for her Teeny Tiny Art Vending Machine I couldn't resist. I love making these and this time the vending machine will be traveling to the DeCordova Museum for their annual art auction. We are huge fans of the DeCordova's sculpture park…

little fish with a shiny tail
This little fish with a shiny tail is up in my shop now. She can either hang from a length of clear fishing wire or sit on a shelf with her tail draped around her.

(photo of chicken with za'atar baked by Marion from my recipe and appearing in today's Globe online) Rosh Hashanah begins on Friday evening. I am hosting the Friday night meal. Here is the menu: Before Dinner: Round Challah (Charlie bakes the bread from this fascinating book) Apples (from Dowse Orchard in Sherborn) and Honey (from…
yes, I am working
Since Roxanne started Kindergarten a week ago I have been working every morning for three hours at a time. I really like the mixture of sewing and writing and I like switching between the two. I've made over 20 birds and have written the entire front section of the book – the section with all…
first day
Today is Roxanne's first day of Kindergarten. I feel like this is the beginning of such a long and complex journey through what we hope will be at least a decade and a half of formal schooling. Teachers and homework, gossip and friendships, successes and heartaches, and everything else that comes with being in school….
