Passover Adventures!

Boy! that was a busy holiday!
Don't get me wrong, i am not complaning at all :) some of them were very positive and fun, but some are less...

My craft fairs were great, although these days people don't hurry and buy, i had good sales, this year it was the popular Keychains & jewelry (last holiday it was Hamsa-mania), every fair i have new suprises, it's ok, the buyers don't want me to get bored...

Then came friends that bought some more, and... i found myself almost stock-less! no more barretes left, no more "disc-chic" necklaces, "disc-chic" rings!
i am parting from my day job these days and becoming a full time artist so i can't tell you how happy i am.

Passover with family was fun as usuall, matzot, kneydalach, i think i gained some weight, oh dear :( i'll have to loose those kg soon! Gym - here i come!

Plus, I had an ASAP custom order of "health" keychains for a local company, they needed it 1st thing on sunday, so i was working to keep the deadline (and finished!!)

We did have some mis-fortunate insident, My 9 yrs son, twisted his ankle when jumping on his skateboard, so now he is resting with his foot up - who said children are easy to raise?

keeping the good spirit, hope every one had good holidays!

I am all over with preperation to the passover craft fairs here in Israel, as you know (or may not) in Passover we do not eat bread, only Matza. Matza (unleavened bread) is the primary symbol of the holiday. My friend Shay Aaron made a cute and yummy looking matza with Chocolate :)
