She’s a teen but she still lets me make her costume! And Lumiere 🕯️from Beauty 👑and the Beast 👹 at that! Never too old for @disney !

Additional notes: the head piece is glued to a headband and the top surface of the candle pop off to turn the lights on and off. Also she can take off the wristbands to put the cups over her hands. #lumierecostume #beautyandthebeastcostume #homemadehalloween #halloweencostumediy #diycostume #happyhalloween #beourguest

Whip up a last minute #superhero costume by cutting off the arms and front of a sweatshirt—glue the wrists around cups for arm shields. And for heavens sake, choose a fun color palette!

Cuz baby you’re a firework 🎆 ! You definitely need to carry a speaker blasting this @katyperry song if you make this cool fireworks #halloweencostume! A styrofoam ball + glow sticks! It’ll last the perfect amount of time for a night of trick-or-treating.

And if you go out with your UFO friend…you’ll light the way for everyone else. And don’t forget the city skyline made from cracker and toothpaste boxes!

How are we two weeks away from Halloween already? 🎃

This year I did a costume story for the @betterhomesandgardens dedicated Halloween issue called Tricks and Treats! The story is called Up Up and Away and features costumes on the theme of sky! This serene cloud 🌧️ and vibrant rainbow 🌈 were two of my faves!

Last night I added a high-ranking entry to my mental list of Why I Love Brooklyn ...the #ProspectParkSoiree.

@prospect_park is part of my daily routine with my pup; it’s the last vitamin I swallow in my morning health regimen.

Last night was their annual soiree where people dress up a table...and themselves...in whatever elegant, silly, or ostentatious theme strikes their fancy. I got the lucky ticket of doing our table decor (whom am I kidding—it was ALL I wanted to do!), and when @thewhitelotus Season 3 became the theme, I knew I was going beyond just the Thailand theme.

If you’ve ever dreamed of making pill bottle centerpieces, send me a DM and I’ll hook you up with the links you need!

Such a fun night with 4500 of my closest friends and neighbors, practically right in my backyard.

🌱 Get those green thumbs moving! Plant some seeds, snip some herbs, and top it all off with adorable DIY butterfly plant markers. Bonus: Mother’s Day is creeping up fast... and trust me, a handmade gift > last-minute flowers any day. 😉🦋 #MothersDayWin #DIYGardenVibes

Jewish holidays are pretty remarkable in that they

Jewish holidays are pretty remarkable in that they aren’t just celebrating a god, or the idea of a god, or the belief that we owe everything to that god. Sure, there is a higher power element to Judaism (after all, it is a religion), but each holiday has a more applicable lesson—one that can serve any single person whether you believe in god or Judaism or nothing of the sort. At the root, there is always a story, and there’s always a teachable, life lesson.

Purim begins tonight and honors a woman who took some major risks, told some lies, hid some truths, and in the end, saved her people. Basically, we are celebrating the enormous chutzpah of 👑 Queen Esther (and her predecessor Vashti), and we get to roleplay this by dressing up in costume. While some might misconstrue the idea of costuming as hiding one’s identity, I look at it more like this: Sure I may look like a delicate butterfly, but also I can roar! What you see isn’t always what you get. 🦋🦁

Here’s a photo of me with my mom on Purim, c. 1980...and then a whole bunch of crown crafts I’ve made over the years in celebration of the queens!

To all who celebrate, go out and make some noise! #Purim #happypurim #jewishcrafts #purimcrafts

Today is #TuBishvat, the Jewish New Year for trees

Today is #TuBishvat, the Jewish New Year for trees 🌳. At first, it might seem strange to celebrate nature in the quiet stillness of winter, when most trees appear bare and lifeless. But Tu Bishvat reminds us that growth isn’t always visible.
🌳
In a world that thrives on instant gratification—where success is often measured by immediate results—it’s important to remember that some of the most meaningful things in life take time. Beneath the surface, trees are hard at work, strengthening their roots and preparing to bloom. And when the time is right, they’ll give us fruit, shade, and beauty, but that only happens if we care for them now.
🌳
It’s also a great reminder for us humanfolk. One of my favorite quotes is “Be patient with yourself; nothing in nature blooms all year.”
🌳
I always joke that nature is the ultimate free craft store—offering up sticks, pinecones, leaves, and rocks in endless supply. But nature will only keep giving if we keep protecting it. Planting trees today ensures their gifts for generations to come. 🌱🌍 #PlantForTheFuture #tubshvat #treeoflife #tikkunolam

I’ve always been a big fan of the assembly line ❤️

A photo diorama…the perfect #homemadegift idea! It’s #upcycled and personal! Steps below…

1 cut top and bottom off a 2-liter bottle
2 print a photo sized to fit in the bottle on cardstock and cut out
3 glue a cork coaster to the bottom portion of the bottle
4 glue photo and hand-cut accents onto toothpicks and stick into the cork
5 place rounded the bottle over the scene and glue a piece of ribbon or felt around the base.
6 cover the opening on the top with a large wooden bead, pompom, or even a bouncy ball!

I think most people, including yours truly, associ

I think most people, including yours truly, associate the dove and olive branch symbol with Christianity. While there are references in the New Testament, it first appears in the story of Noah and the flood. Noah sent a dove to determine if the flood waters were receding and the 🕊️ returned with 🫒 leaves, a souvenir from one of the heartiest trees. And while peace, a beautiful and much needed concept is the popular interpretation, you can also read this symbol as “rebuild, repair, and strengthen.” I think we can all agree that this planet can use a whole lot of hope and mending.

Peace, hope, repair….new or Old Testament—who really cares. Let’s just take care of each other 😊 … and make holiday decorations that radiate positivity and warmth!

(To make these, cut simple bird shapes from cardboard and paint them white. Use a needle to poke holes and stitch with yarn—this is a great early embroidery lesson for kids! You can make mini versions to use as ornaments and gift tags)
