Nature in the Winter
In Israel we have no snow, almost, but we have rains, lot of them some times. After those rains, nature that was sleeping through all summer is waking up. Just a couple of month ago, it was all yellow and dry, and now it's succulent, green, vivacious, it's alive! So we went to Jerusalem's forests to be witness of that miracle.
Trying to blow of the dandelion, I guess it was the wrong type of a dandelion, because it didn't worked.
Kids found this stick that was eaten bu worms I think, and they left some interesting paths, looks like artistic wood carving.
So beautiful and so gentle Narcissus.
Absolutely stunning Autumn crocus
Kids looking for more interesting sticks, they all left in the care on our way back home, it was a pile of little sticks. have to think what to do with them now.
Don't know why, but I love this pick.
I loved that walk in the woods, kids loved it too, it was great Saturday morning activity, after that it was a dinner and a homework...

Fashionable Scarf From Scratch
My cousin birthday was so unexpected, and with no present in my hands I started to look around for some ideas for handmade gifts.
Some time ago I sow a great tutorial in YouTube, about scarf making from scratch, I had a few yards of cotton jersey in ocean blue and olive green shades, I love those colors. I had to try that, it wasn't very hard, in fact it wasn't hard at all!
So I cut my fabric to thin stripes added some knitting yarn in matching colors... and voila!!!
My cousin now have very cool scarf

Today was 1st day of school, but before that we made some crafts...
There is no pictures of the "event", I c\got hem new t shirts in red and turquoise, new books and new notebooks and that is it.
Color the bottles with white acrylic and let it dry
Decoupage bottles with some images of your choice, we went to the nature theme and picked some napkins from my craft collection.
Then fill the gaps with more acrylic paint and that's it! Now we have some green and frugal gifts for the holidays.
But we made that "all over Pinterest" project of bottle coloring, it took us about 3 days (waiting for every level to be dry) Kids loved to color the bottles and decoupage them, it was very easy frugal and very green craft.
