Judaica
Where the Ginko Grows
At last, a long-time desire to create a ketubah has been fulfilled! When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I so wanted to create so many things: our invitations, our chuppah, my husbands tallis, the wedding programs, and a ketubah. But as my responsibilities, and creativity grew, time began to run out quickly. My ambitions to create a painting that would both illustrate our dedication to each other, as well as the kind of home we wanted to create started to fade. I needed to be realistic. I had soon forgotten my desire when I fell in love with the beautifully designed ketubah my husband and I picked out at our favorite Judaica store in Boston.
A New “Thread”
Today I got a call from our wedding videographer that prompted me to re-publish something I have talked about in the past. I figure since this blog is so new, I may as well post this new thread: wedding crafts! Tom, our videographer, called and mentioned he was working with a bride-to-be who had seen our wedding website (seeing samples of his work) and apparently one of MY pieces struck her eye: our chuppah! She wanted to know where we got it as she was looking for something similar. Unfortunately, you can’t buy it in any store as I made it myself. So for all you newly engaged love-birds who are planning a Jewish wedding, here are a few sewing projects…and then some more for any type of wedding, Jewish or not…

This post starts with a question I asked Ron, my beloved husband, after watching a segment about Steve Jobs and speculation about his health and the future of Apple on the news this evening. Nobody really knows what is going on with his health or how it might affect the state of things at Apple. But, one thing is certain: everyone, be it an individual, family or even a large company, must eventually face the music. No matter if one is destined to live a long life…or if one is destined to live well only to have his or her days cut short by unexpected circumstances such as a car accident, or what was supposed to be an important day gone horribly wrong, we all must face the facts that our time here is limited…
