True, I Haven't Been Posting Much

Have you noticed that I haven't posted much? It's ironic that until a couple of years ago I posted daily on both my blogs. Now I can skip a week or two and not even realize it.

What have I been doing?

I've been crocheting as much as I can. I've discovered something fantastic. People will buy my crocheted hats when I offer to donate the money to a charity, tzedakah. I'm going to try that with some of the bags I've crocheted.

I've also crocheted a few "bowls" to use for mishloach manot for Purim. On the Purim holiday we give food gifts, so my bags and bowls are very useful. I've been packing them in my crafts for the past few years.

A friend had suggested hats for tzedakah, and that's another reason I crochet a lot. I've bought some yarn for winter hats on sale recently. You can see me in the picture below wearing one of the hats. I bought more of the same yarn, because a friend wants one just like it.

To be honest I've found it easier to find topics for Shiloh Musings. That's because the politics here is so upsetting, I've had to write about it. Not that post all that frequently there either.

Don't get me wrong. I do stay busy besides crocheting and Facebook etc. I study Tanach/Bible and do mosaics once a week in the program here for senior citizens. 

My Tanach/Bible studies are online, Google Meet and also in Jerusalem. I've been in a study group for about ten years. We used to meet once a week, and now, ever since the COVID lockdown we've been meeting almost every day, though not in person. We used to use Zoom, but now it's Google Meet. I'm also in a monthly Book Club. And I take a short walk at least once a day.

What keeps you busy? Have you missed my blog posts?

B"H, Found a Simple Cure

Very True Story

I had a real fright this morning in shul. Suddenly an awful headache, which I never get. The skin on part of my head felt numb. When I got home I got the veggies for the salad out and asked my husband to cut them and decided to rest. Suddenly I had an idea. I was wearing a new tichel, which stretches. I took it off and replaced it with a light hat, fancy from my son's wedding. Within a short time the headache lessened and disappeared.

B"H a miracle!

Next time I'll be tying the tichel much more loosely.

"Lifesaving" hat on the "guilty" tichel.

Here it is: The "Scrap Hat!"

A few days ago, I mentioned that I was crocheting a "scrap hat" made of yarn leftover from other hats.  Yesterday, when in Jerusalem, one of my daughters said that the scarf she was wearing didn't match the outfit she was going to change into.  Suddenly, it hit me.  The "scrap hat" would match.  I ought to finish  it immediately.

And I did.
