Needlework

Do you like to crochet? Here is an idea for a crocheted wine glass skirt. You can use different color beads so everyone can keep up with their own glass. These look so pretty on the Sabbath table. The pattern is free at Maggie's Crochet but you have to set up an account.

There are other patterns and versions of what is aptly coined as the Glass Slipper. I made some from fabric to match my Passover linens. They are basically made from a square and two rectangles. The rectangles are sewn so that the glass base slips into the two like an envelope. These make very nice hostess gifts as well.

About Me

Hi – my name is Jackie and this is my little corner of cyber space. I am married (34 years now) with 5 children. Three are currently married. I have 2 grandsons and all three married children are expecting babies this Summer 2010. I am very excited about that. I think my family defines me but so does my faith. I am a Jewish believer and this blog is a way to document who I am, what I strive to be, and how I strive to live my life. My Jewish roots are an important part of my life and keeping G-d’s commandments and the Jewish traditions help flesh out who I am in G-d. My husband always says that G-d’s Holy days are like speed bumps – they make us slow down and reassess our life before G-d. Living a Jewish lifestyle can be challenging at times because our world has become extremely humanistic which is completely opposite to what G-d calls us to. So as I walk this path G-d has laid out for me, I will share what I’ve learned (and am still learning) along the way.
