pasta and magnets

Posted by sieni on June 24th, 2008 — Posted in Random moments, Tara

This afternoon Tara and I made a pasta necklace:

It broke after she tried to eat it.

And for the longest time I have been cringing at the sight of the countless magnets on our refrigerator that advertise Shlomo’s pizzeria, the Golomb pharmacy, and who knows what else in Hebrew.

And also for some time I’ve been cutting out pictures of patterns and colours I love from magazines and stashing them away with the hope of using them for something creative one day. So today was the day.

I cut out those patterns and stuck them over the ugly magnets. Easy peasy.

You can go further and use family photos, recycled wrapping paper, or your child’s favourite cartoon characters. Anything goes! And the fridge doesn’t look half bad.

One down… and it was harder than I thought!

Posted by sieni on June 17th, 2008 — Posted in Random moments, Tara

I have just completed sewing some summer pants for Tara. I have just completed sewing something for the first time in my life. The last time that I tried to stitch fabric together was when I was in Brownies. And there I managed to sew my skirt onto the material. TWICE. So for this little project, I bought the most gorgeous fabric in the Hadar and decided to just go for it. I have found that buying in small supply for a little person = good deals. I borrowed a sewing machine from a friend and it took four people to try to thread it together.

Sizing up the material:

An afternoon later, with some schooling from Glen, whose mother was a tailor, the pants were done, with many, many rough edges:

But I think she likes ‘em, or at least she hasn’t reached the age where she can complain about what she wears.
