Christmas is coming, and decorate a Christmas tree is always be the best moment in Christmas season. Every year I always have new idea to decorate my Christmas tree. Last Year I just put some red bows on it.

My Cristmas tree last year

This year I put a lot of butterflies made from goose feathers.

At school I also decorate my classroom with Christmas ornaments that I made myself using paper.
For the glass window I made a snowman that can be seen from two sides, from the outside and the inside. If we look out the window, like being in a snowy place. Indonesia has never had snow, and my friends really liked it, so they took pictures in front of the window.

Fruit Day

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 03:12:00 +0000

Teach toddlers need something interesting, because their ability to focus very short. when I taught them about fruit, I was using real fruits and also flashcards.
I made fruits flashcards of colorful paper, then laminating so not easily torn and dirty. Here they are my cute flashcards

My kids were so excited, when I showed flashcard of fruit, they were scrambling to take real fruit, and mention the fruit's name.
In addition to introducing a variety of fruit, I also asked them to identify the taste of fruits, sweet or sour. And to practice their fine motor skills, I invited them to make orange juice by squeezing oranges. I also taught them about simple pattern, cut out watermelon, pineapple, honeydew, and mango in various shapes. Then gently slide the fruits on bamboo skewers according to the pattern.

Kids Crafts

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 09:47:00 +0000

When I was opening the old files, I found some simple craft of my students. They were 3-4 years, I miss them so much.

Prepare a piece of paper, can be heart-shaped, star, or whatever you like. Color the
shape using crayons, may use multiple colors to a single piece of paper, mixed or interspersed. Prepare a blank white sheet of paper, put the colored pieces of paper. Then rub crayon scratches outwards, let the children rub as far as they can.

Prepare a sheet of white paper, coloring with crayons, it's better if the colors were mixed up, colorful crayon scratches covered the entire paper. Then cover the entire surface of the paper using a black crayon.
Now the most fun of crafting, give each child a toothpick for, and let them draw whatever they like on the black crayon, and they will be very excited when they can draw something in a different way.

At that time we were teaching kids about plants, so we invited the kids undertake activities associated with the plant. We gave them a coloring sheet.
Yes ... they learned to color the picture, but they didn't use crayons or colored pencils. We took the kids to the school yard, picked some flowers and leaves. Then kids started color their pictures using flowers and leaves they have.

TUMPENG

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:27:00 +0000

Tumpeng is a way of presenting a cone-shaped rice, like a mountain, and surrounded by assorted of Indonesian side dishes.
The Tumpeng can be white rice, but more often use yellow rice, which is rice cooked with turmeric water so that yellow.
Rice cone usually presented using Tampah, a rounded woven bamboo tray, and covered with banana leaves.
Side dishes that accompany the yellow rice cone usually consist of: fried tofu, fried tempeh, fried milkfish, egg, shredded, Perkedel (mashed potato fritters), And as ornaments are often added red chili, cucumber slices, celery, and green long beans.
For the white rice cone usually added more vegetables mixed with grated coconut called Urap, grilled chicken, boiled eggs, and fried milkfish.
The tradition of Tumpeng comes from the Javanese. The composition of a traditional Javanese tumpeng is more complex because the elements must balance one another according to the Javanese belief.
At this time the Tumpeng known by all Indonesian people, so that not only Javanese who serve Tumpeng. But Tumpeng has become a tradition of Indonesian society. A ceremony involving tumpeng called 'tumpengan", and the tradition of Tumpengan has been developed.
Tumpeng presented for a celebration feast or when there is an important event, gratitude ceremony, grand opening of a factory, produk launching, even on kid's.
Tumpeng for kid's birthday is no longer a cone-shaped, but modified in cute animal shapes to replace the function of Birthday cake.
A week ago my sister Yenny Maria made this cute Tumpeng for her kid's birthday, and made the cute meal boxes to be given to children invited.

The Big Picture Is Beautiful

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Tue, 01 May 2012 17:47:00 +0000

When it comes to art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you watched an artist as he painted a beautiful picture, you would notice that he has to work on each detail separately - a purposeful brush stroke here and there - before he can consider the picture complete.

Did you know that God is an Artist, too? His way of "painting" is much different from ours. He sees the completed picture first, and then He works out the details.

The human response to our problems and shortcomings is to try to overcome them one at a time - "If I could only start being on time for work, then I wouldn't have anymore trouble." We feel that if we fix certain areas of our lives, then we will be "complete." But God doesn't just work on the problem areas that we see right now; He works on the entire person.

We are all aware of flaws in our character, but we must remember that God is the Artist, not us - He sees the completed picture, while we're still trying to figure out how the details will work out. Understanding this truth will help us be more patient with our own shortcomings, as well as those of others.

We all know difficult people. For some of us, it's the man or woman in the mirror. Remember that God sees the finished picture - He can take the ugly marks we have made and turn them into a beautiful work of art. Every hardship, every failure, every day - is part of His painting process. Only when you realize that God is working in your life will you begin to see the true beauty of the big picture.

Banana is a fruit that is very easy to get, most types of bananas are yellow when ripe, though there are some that are green, red, purple, and orange
Bananas as a food ingredient has excellent nutritional content, such as energy supply is quite high compared to other fruits.

In addition to the delicious fruit and lots of health benefits, all part of the banana plant can be utilized, such as:

We can use banana leaves as food wrappers, Lemper, Pepes, rice wrapped and others. There is a different sensation when we eat rice wrapped in banana leaves. Even in rural areas people often use banana leaves as umbrellas in the rain

The sap of banana is also useful to attach a knife wound from scratch. Just apply the sap of banana which we take from the banana leaf midrib. Will not take long to close the wound and the blood stops flowing.
Banana stem which is still intact is usually to stick puppet shadow, and the deepest part of the banana stem also yummy cooked,

For us He shed His blood,

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:40:00 +0000

And they dressed Him in purple
And condemned Him to die
Mocked, spat upon, and whipped Him
As Pontius Pilate stood by

And with thorns as a crown
He was then led away
To carry His cross
And show us the way

Falling under the burden
Of its heavy weight
But rising up again
Knowing full-well His fate

And meeting His mother
With anguish untold
As God’s plan of Great Love
Proceeds to unfold

Simon helps Jesus
Who seems broken and frail
And Veronica steps forward
To wipe His face with her veil

But He soon falls again
For a second time
Paying a price with His suffering
His love being the crime

Women and children
He meets on His way
Then falls for a third time
This most solemn Friday

Adding further humiliation
To any of His woes
Jesus is then
Stripped of His clothes

And while nailed to the cross
His earthly time here passes
His own life He gave
For the salvation of masses

let's recycle

noreply@blogger.com (I love crafting) — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:43:00 +0000

Newspapers and scrap paper pile up, grocery bags and plastic bottles, or twigs and leaves are scattered in the yard, would be very annoying and makes us stress because don't know what we should do with them.
Do not worry, with a little touch of creativity, you can use it into something useful and marketable.
I love to make art and craft of various materials, fabric, felt, beads, paper, posicle stick, plastic, etc. I often use materials that might be for others considered trash, I try to recycle. Started from a hobby and confusion how to rid of used goods, I tried to turn it into a work of art is exciting and profitable.
Here are a few examples of my craft that I made from old denim, recycled into fashion jewelries.
