Make a pet bed out of an old Sweater! Life on a Shoestring

This is a project that I have been wanting to do for some time, but I never knew how.  I have a lot of old sweaters from the kids, and how I hate to throw things away that might still have a use!  Yes, I'm a pack rat, and now I am going to make this pet bed for my cat.
She has found my rag pile to sleep in so I'm going to use some of the rags and make her a real bed. 
It doesn't look hard, and since I have lots of rags, it should be quite a good way to use some up.  What do you think?  


Go to this site and get the real instructions!

I'll post my first try and then you can too, in the comments section right below!

Editorial Netanyahu's Opening Cabinet Remarks


First of all, Happy Chanuka, and here is the latest picture of the last night, with all the candles burning.  May the miracles continue to burn bright!


Today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened the Cabinet Meeting with the news that Ouda Tarabin, who was held in an Egyptian prison has returned home. This is meaningful in the context of last week's Torah Portion in which Joseph was released from Egyptian jail.   Ouda is an Israeli citizen, and Israel promises to work to free its citizens from captivity.    On the other hand also Egyptian prisoners who had finished their sentences were released, to go back to Egypt.  (I hope that they stay there and don't come back to Israel ever again!)

Israel is happy to hear about the Climate agreement, but too bad it was signed on Saturday, Shabbat.  Nonetheless we hope that Israel will also work toward lowering the rate of global warming, and although I saw a sign today on the highway saying that there are more bike lanes, I would like to see the map.  Everyplace that I go on my e-bike, I have to be on the street, and people in cars sometimes even yell at me to get off the road!  So, Nu, where are the new bike lanes???

The Cabinet, will also work on raising the payments to the elderly.  This is admirable goal and I hope it really happens.  I will be in close contact with some elderly, including my mother who always have words to say, . . You guess what they are.

So, on this last day of Chanuka, I wish everyone a happy last day of school vacation!

HAPPY HANNUKAH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Happy Chanuka to you and your family on this 8 day festival of light.  We light the candles to commemorate the victory of the Maccabees against the Syrian Greeks, The light symbolizes the might of Hashem, against the assimilationist tendencies of the Hellenist civilization.  We as Jews need to speak up for our culture and our peoplehood no matter what the rest of the world says.  Each Jew should feel proud of our heritage. This is the message of Chanuka.

Potato Salad - Good for anytime Life on a Shoestring

Potato salad is sold in the salad section of the supermarket, it can cost up to 8.00NIS, so it is cheaper to make it at home.

There are many different ways to make, and this website has lots of variations that won't let you get bored with your potato salad.

It can be used year-round as well as for Passover.
It is best to experiment before Passover so you know that you have a winning recipe for the holiday.
