Cookie tin divider prototype

Like everyone, I use cookie boxes to organize my supplies. One of the boxes is for WIP projects I travel with; it contains all the tools and threads of the current project and is very messy 😅😆 My SO designed and printed a 3D model for a cookie box divider based on a photo we found online. It's functional and has components for all of my tools. This is the prototype. What do you think? We will make some final changes to the model and print it again. Once finished, the 3D model will be published free to use! :)

Mirabel handmade costume

To hold my personal record of making a Purim costume for every curly Disney princess, this year, I had no choice but to craft my own Mirabel (Encanto Disney movie) costume.

My mom took a significant part in making this costume by sewing the skirt out of scratch and making the Mirabel look-like shirt from an old white t-shirt and lace.

"All" that was left for me to do was add the iconic embroidery elements to the costume, make the pompom earrings, and pick the right shoes and crossbody bag for the costume. Luckily, I already wear green eyeglasses.

To make ends meet, I ordered lots (and lots) of butterfly and flower iron patches from Amazon and used only a little free-hand embroidery to give it the Mirabel's crafty look.

The easiest part was to make the earrings - I used leftover purple yarn and a small pompom maker.

The final result was lovely, and I was so excited to be one of the first girls in Israel to be Mirabel only 4 months after the movie aired!

Weaving in a loom kit by Aluma Meshulami

First time weaving in a loom

I had no choice but to try Aluma Meshulami's new weaving kits.

I met Aluma on Facebook in high school when she joined a Facebook group for young women interested in software programming. It was so funny to meet another girl my age who shares hobbies and a rare biblical Hebrew name with me.

Nowadays, Aluma Meshulami is a professional photographer and an artist of many crafts, including ancient local crafts like weaving, wicker, and pottery.

Her weaving kit color selection is made to make you feel in awe of the beautiful landscape pictures of Judea and Samaria. I chose the "Timna" kit, with the stunning copper and desert colors of the Timna Valley.

My fabulous in-laws presented me for my 21 birthday with the best birthday gift a knitter can receive!!

The birthday kit was created by Sharon from the knitting store "Hotim Mekashrim" (HaNadiv St 9, Herzliya). The kit comes with a very simple and newbie friendly crochet pattern, and if it wasn't enough - Sharon offers her private phone number for technical support.

I crocheted this pink crossbody bag. It was super fun and easy, and I'm very pleased with the finished item.
