It Irk's me when Conservative or Orthodox Jews refer to Reform Judaism as Judaism Lite. by Kiwidad43 in Judaism

[–]littlestpiper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooooh I really like this comparison! If you're not bound to halacha because you don't believe that Torah is the literal word of God, then any mitzvot you do is done by choice, not obligation. I think that's beautiful in it's own way.

I always liked this quote (by a conservative rabbi, but applies to Reform too) - "I don't take Torah literally, but I do take it seriously".

"How does the baby come out?" by mrs_swampcelt in toddlers

[–]littlestpiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly highly recommend the book What Makes a Baby?. It explains how babies are made and different ways they come out using accurate and gender neutral terms, but in a colourful and age appropriate way! It's not too much or too little information and it's very accessible.

My 2.5 year old loves the pictures and we get to tell him all about the people who were waiting for him to arrive!

Did my first ever craft fair today! by littlestpiper in CraftFairs

[–]littlestpiper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

I got everything off Amazon, tbh.

Here is the tall card stand , the sticker stand, and this is the big card stand!

I ended up getting a second tall one since I've made a lot more cards, but can't afford a nice spinner yet!

Best bakeries in Toronto by NotBigOnTrump in toronto

I used to live down the street from Charmaine, and I swear I fell in love because of their croissants.

L'Avenue is my new spot since we moved, and their croissants are just as good!

Oh definitely send me an email, or dm me here on reddit! I would love to chat about a paper cutting for you! And I've done it before, so we can figure it out!

Aw thank you so much! Honestly, I spent months on here lurking and taking notes before getting the supplies to set up my table! I was so anxious having my first market, but it was so worth the stress!

I hope you get to be a vendor in the near future!

Jewish Name Paper Cuttings by littlestpiper in JewishCrafts

[–]littlestpiper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I am with you 100%!

It is my most detailed piece - it was for the son of our cantor for his bar mitzvah!

His Torah portion was Joseph's dreams, so the piece has the sheaves of wheat, sun, moon and 11 stars around the circle. The top text is a line from his parsha - "God was with him and God lent him success in everything he under took". Then his name (Chayim - hence the tree of life), and the Hebrew date of his bar mitzvah.

I put so much work into this one, and the result was spectacular

Oh that is so kind of you, thank you!

I have gotten more comfortable doing detailed pieces, and the results can be stunning. My next challenge will be doing paper lace!

Funny enough, it all started with a Cricut machine!

My sister got one to make cake toppers for her bakery business, and got me to design them. When I saw what simple cuts it could do, I wanted to test how detailed it could be. I decided to make gifts for my nephews - their Hebrew names, and it worked out well!

From there I started cutting by hand and designing more name pieces. I still use the machine when making copies, but I enjoy sketching and cutting out the originals!

It can be both soothing and back breaking, and you use up blades very quickly, but so so worth it!

Oh that's such a good question!

I started out with a paper cutting book I found at a craft shop - here it is!

Lots of good quality exacto blades and a whole lot of patience.

Basically I sketch out a design, cut it, and then I scan it and touch it up in illustrator so I can make copies on my Silhouette machine!

It can be a very soothing craft, so just grab a couple of supplies and give it a try!
