365 Project: Day 92 & 93 + שנה טובה
מתחילים עם מרק עוף לערב. בסירים האחרים יש פירה, אורז וצימעס. את כל זה, הכין בעלי בזמן שאני התעלפתי על הספה אתמול בערב.
היום היה תורי לבשל. התחלתי מלזניה אלפרדו - כי כמה בשר אפשר לאכול, צריך גם ארוחה קלילה.

365 Project: Day 85, shopping fun!
I’m getting over a bout of the flu, so today I was planning to take it easy. Go get a few supplies from the yarn store, and come straight back. I ended up walking around for about 4 and a half hours, with plenty of loot to show for it.
I started out by taking advantage of the end of season sales, and bought a comfortable pair of simple black pumps. I mean, that kind of shoe is good for all seasons and extremely useful, so why pay more? I discovered that you really must be a professional photographer to take a good picture of shoes. So, no pictures (also, they’re nice, but actually quite boring, so I don’t think you’re missing anything).Then, I went to the fabric store and bought some fabric to cover my son’s bicycle, about to be left outside for the winter. I was planning to actually make the cover today, but 4 and half hours later, I still wasn’t home. So, no.
For some reason, after this, my camera decided it wasn’t going to focus any more, so this got to be the picture of the day.
It’s been getting cold at night, and I realized that winter is actually going to happen at some point (not really soon, but sometime), and it’s time to start thinking about hats for the kids. Since my stash is practically empty, after the fabric store, I went and bought some yarn. I love going to those stores, they’re so much fun. They’re all colorful and full of stuff you want to buy (but I don’t. I make a real effort to always buy only what’s on my list).
These are the yarns I chose: The dark pink yarn is for Hodaya (I haven’t picked a design yet), and the “poison green” and very dark green yarn in the back are for a dragon hat, which is what Noam requested (I promise a tutorial, when it’s ready).

365 Project: Day 81
This shadow was cast by one of those wooden human art mannequins you can set to whatever position you want. We don’t get a lot of sun in the afternoon (our apartment faces mostly east), but in the little bit of light we do get, I managed to catch this cool image.

365 Project: Day 80
I came back from the wedding two nights ago, took off my shoes and have been sick ever since. But it could almost look as if I’m a free spirit coming back from clubs in the middle of the night and leaving my shoes nonchalantly around the house.
Stuffed Toy Snake Tutorial
When I made hers, I still had a small amount of Etsuko Furuya Glasses fabric in pink (from our local fabric shop budulina), so I decided to incorporate that in the design – her snake got glasses. When I made the manly version (also with fabrics from budulina) I didn’t have any left, so I drew on plain eyes.
All the sizes given in this tutorial are appropriate for fitting a pair of glasses on the snake’s
head, but of course – you can make it any size you want!

יישוב קהילתי? לא תודה!
| נראה פסטורלי, לא? (תמונה מויקיפדיה) |
לפני שנים שמעתי סיפור על יישוב קהילתי שלא אנקוב בשמו, שבו היו מתנכלים לאחד מחברי היישוב. כעבור זמן מה, החליט אחד מהחברים האחרים להגן על אותו מסכן. בתגובה, החלו להתנכל גם אליו. כאשר הגיעו מים עד נפש, והוא החליט לעזוב את היישוב, ועדת הקבלה המשיכה להתנכל לו, ולא אישרה אף קונה פוטנציאלי לביתו. אינני יודעת כיצד הסיפור הסתיים בסופו של דבר (והיום אנחנו יותר מ-15 שנים אחרי), אבל בוודאי שהוא היה כרוך בהפסד כספי גדול ועוגמת נפש מרובה.
365 Project: Day 79
If I must wait outside the doctor’s office, at least I get a nice view of the early morning full moon.

365 Project: Day 75
It’s a long story. Let’s just say this is the fabric of the dress I wore today and leave it at that.

365 Project: Day 71
A really big pile of ginormous pancakes for dinner today.
I like the fact that the spell checker has no problem with the word ginormous.
Planner/Journal Cover Tutorial
The problem was that the planner didn’t have a pocket for documents or a place for a pen. Now, that’s just not good enough! But wait – why don’t I make a cover with both features? This simple project takes less than an hour to make, and a very small amount of fabric (depending on the size of your planner).

365 Project: Day 68
View from the 6th floor pool. The water was freezing, so we went inside soon after this picture was taken.
