A real post after almost a year? Well, yes actually. And not only am I posting again, I started drawing again! Or rather, doodling. <br />

You may be wondering where the hack I disappeared to. Well, I bought a little apartment and was busy styling it and settling in. I will share some photos of it soon. I was also busy writing my <a href="http://sharonabaaron.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hebrew blog</a> that isn't crafts & arts oriented, which figures since I didn't really make anything new or interesting in about two yours.<br />

I hope to create more as my tiny winy "studio" takes shape and begin to function as such. You can see these drawings are somewhat childish. I guess not working for a while takes you back to square one, just like with sport.<br />

But drawing with my new Samsung Note is so enjoyable I cannot seem to stop doing it ever since I got it a couple of weeks ago. It comes with its own little stylus pen and I enjoy doodling on a small scale. It makes things easier for my untrained hand.<br />
<br />
And so we come to my favorite and last drawing for now, a tribute to Grumpy Cat which I love dearly. She is such a small creature and I can easily relate to her constant frown. After all, life ain't easy! Especially when you try to resume drawing after such a long break.<br />

<br />
As soon as I heard that the almond trees are in bloom (a beautiful sight second, in my mind, only to the magical cherry tree bloom) I decided to go visit my friend B. in Jerusalem, the road to which is scattered with almond trees blooming in pink and white, and Pinky decided to come with me (actually B. said that I can only come if he comes. Really). After the beautiful trip we arrived at her place, drank some terrible chocolate espresso (my reaction to which was crying "<i>shit!</i>") we took our coats and drove to the <a href="http://www.imjnet.org.il/htmls/home.aspx" target="_blank">Israel Museum</a>, where I was looking forward to see the belongings of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babatha" target="_blank">Babta Bat Shimon</a>, a wealthy woman who during the second Judean-Roman war of <span class="normal">132-135 AC escaped with some of her belongings (key to her house, papers and </span>certificates<span class="normal"> of her estate, some perfume and a mirror) to a cave in the desert, where she starved to death along with several other refugees. But enough about me.</span><br />
<br />
Pinky enjoyed visiting the model of ancient Jeruslaem and the second temple, where he felt like a king.<br />
<br />

He didn't enjoy the rest of the museum as much, I'm afraid, so B. was kind enough to let him rest in her bag for a while.<br />
<br />

<br />
After a few hours in the museum, the three of us had enough, and went to our favorite local restaurant for some fine alcohol and food. Later than evening, B. Pinky and myself were immensely pleased with ourselves and the good company we enjoyed, exchanged kisses and hugs and said our farewells to each other and the city.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I asked Pinky if he would rather stay with B. and make another attempt at taking the city in the morning, but he was tired from the long day and missed <a href="http://raisinlike.blogspot.com/2010/03/love-is-in-air.html" target="_blank">Barbie</a>, so I was very happy to drive both of us home, while he curled up and fell asleep on the sit next to me. Honestly, I would rather have him home than managing the politics of a city like Jerusalem. That is far too much a task for a such a small body, although if someone has the spirit and valor to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict, that would undoubtedly be Pinky.Sharona R - שרונה ראובניhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921689926996089370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986864939057228619.post-27021603133482586472011-12-07T19:12:00.001+02:002011-12-07T20:44:01.497+02:00New stationery and a dilemmaIt's been a long time since I added anything new to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/raisinlike" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> Well no more, I finally received the new greeting cards I ordered and will be adding them to the shop this weekend.<br />

They will cost 4$ each and arrive with a matching envelope. I also relisted my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/20187754/puppet-stickers" target="_blank">puppet stickers</a>, as I got a whole new lovely batch. They are already available <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/raisinlike" target="_blank">on my shop</a>. <br />
<br />
As for the dilemma, I wonder if I want to reopen my jewelry and art shop or simply list those items on my main shop. On one hand, it is a nuisance to manage two shops, but my jewelry style is very different from my puppet design, and I think it does not comply with my branding. I simply can't decide. Here are a examples of my designs, what do you guys think?<br />

Well, I sold and cleared my parents house and am no longer puppeteering on the roof. After staying here and there for a while, I finally rented a small (<i>small</i>) flat with a nice little terrace, so I guess I am now puppeteer on the terrace till further notice!<br />
<br />
I haven't yet completed arranging my new home, and need an electrician to come and do come work before I can arrange separate working and sitting areas in my living room, which currently resembles a doctor's clinic or some other place where you will find a TV, computer desk, and sofa all cramped up in a small space. I also find it hard to believe I will be able to create here as I used to in my previous home, since there is not enough space. But this is a temporary home, to heal in and continue to the rest of my life, and I am pleased. It also comes with a resident cat. She doesn't live with me (as I already said, it's a very small single bedroom flat) but she does arrive for dinner and I just bought her a nice warm bed for winter, which I put on the terrace where she eats earlier today. I named her <i>Sfameow</i>, which roughly translates as "<i>the mustached meow</i>". I know, it doesn't make much sense in Hebrew either, but it's a fun word to pronounce. <br />

I am slowly getting used to my new home and my new life and am planning my near future while enjoying the present as much as I can. I decided to reopen my Etsy shops, even though it will be challenging to make new items in this environment, but the holidays are coming and there really is no reason not to sell what I already have ready. So I started with the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/raisinlike" target="_blank">puppets & crafts shop</a>, and the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sharonart" target="_blank">jewelry & art sho</a>p will soon follow.<br />

That's it for now. I promise to update this blog more often now, so visit again soon and before you go - one last picture of my previous new love.<br />

Moohahaha! Oh yes, leaving here in a couple of weeks will be hard and probably teary, but I have a new and improved life ahead of me, so I am excited. And as for the pool, I will miss it a lot but till I get my own roof or yard again, I plan to be spending a lot of time in the country club swimming pool. It's time to start playing in the grown up's field, so wish me luck!Sharona R - שרונה ראובניhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921689926996089370noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986864939057228619.post-43577042217004785232011-08-23T00:38:00.000+03:002011-08-23T00:40:13.380+03:00Designers fair at the historic Station complexLast week I was invited to a tour of the new designers fair at the historic Station complex in Tel Aviv. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hatachana.co.il/assets/files/HaTachanaEn.pdf">The Station</a> (or <a href="http://www.hatachana.co.il/">Hatachana</a>, in Hebrew) is located between the Neveh Zedek neighborhood and the Mediterranean Sea and was the first train station built in old Jaffa in the 19th century. It was recently reopened to the public as a beautifully restored culture and shopping center. <br />
<br />
On top of the beautiful luxurious Israeli designer (home and fashion) shops, the designers fair is home to several up and coming young designers and is open every Thursday night during the summer. On my tour, I met talented jewelry, textile, and bag designers as well as soap makers and other craftspeople who will make your living space a more colorful soulful place. I definitely fell in love with some of these people and their work.<br />

If you live in Israel and haven't been to the Station yet, I urge you to go (you will find some of <a href="http://sharonabaaron.blogspot.com/search/label/%D7%9E%D7%AA%D7%97%D7%9D%20%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%97%D7%A0%D7%94">my favorite shops</a> there), and if not - I hope these photos inspired you to think of Israel differently than the news channels portray us.<br />
<br />

Coughing my lungs out, sleeping all day and bored out of my mind at night. Finally, I had to get out of the house for a few hours and breath some fresh air. Lucky for me, there was a little sale event outside of town on Tuesday evening, so my aunt and I decided to go. I coughed all the way there and all the way back, but I did get to meet some people and see some beautiful colorful things that cheered me up.<br />

Finally, I got a little French manicure. I decided to go for a bold choice of colors, what do you think? It's kinda wasted on me sitting at home all week, but I do like it!<br />

<br />
For the past few years, I have been living in my parents' roof apartment and have been creating and photographing on the roof, but now I am selling this apartment, and am not at all sure I will be able to afford to buy a new roof apartment. So what then, will I have to rename my blog or am I carrying the roof in my heart no matter where I go? That is one of the questions boggling my mind these days, as I am working on selling the home I grew up in to perfect strangers.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, the present is what's important and the roof garden is in full summer gear. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts, eh?<br />
<br />
The Surinam cherries are almost ripe for eating. Unfortunately I have a very small yield this year and they are not that big either, but the ones I already ate were yummy. <br />

My cucumbers are growing steadily. I chose the best time to grow my own cucumbers, eh? I think they will shoot the value of this apartment off the roof, so to speak. This is an autarkic farm I am selling here, people. <br />

My <a href="http://raisinlike.blogspot.com/2010/11/olive-oil.html">baby olive tree</a> had a bad reaction to heat and wind (it is not meant to grow on the forth floor, that's for sure) so I snipped its leaves and now, after a little rest, it is finally starting to recover.<br />

I will not be able to buy an apartment without a little yard or veranda, that's for sure. Not only must I have my flowers to be happy, but I also need an airy space to work with my glues. This is going to be a tricky one, but I am also so very excited to find my new home and make it my own. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.Sharona R - שרונה ראובניhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921689926996089370noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986864939057228619.post-14931901185225364192011-06-12T00:02:00.003+03:002011-06-12T02:24:47.858+03:00Money can't buy me loveBut it very well <i>can </i>buy some other pretty important things.<br />

It is one of the most beautiful places in the city (which holds so many gems) .<br />
<br />
The hotel itself has an amazing view of the mountains surrounding it and the various monks and churches built on their hillsides. We had wonderful local wines and beers and excellent cheeses and sweet treats, and finally drove back home cheerful and well rested after spending a relaxed and most beautiful afternoon with a dear friend (and some of the richest people in Israel).<br />
<br />
Here are some photos I took, I hope you like them.<br />

The best thing about this technique is that you can actually apply it to <i>real</i> people and not only dolls! I have a lot of tulle at home, and am planning to make a full size tutu for little moi in the near future.<br />
<br />
I made the skirt from beautiful golden tulle I got from a friend, using a non-stitch technique I picked up on YouTube. It's actually very easy to follow, just requires some patience. It was quite a tedious task, and took almost two hours (while watching TV, I admit). Here is the tutorial, easy as pie!<br />
<br />

So, I cut several dozens of thin strips of tulle and tied them to a satin ribbon, in matching gold color, which I later used to secure the skirt to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73737836/odile-flutterbutt-one-of-a-kind-puppet">Odile's</a> waist.<br />

Caring for my mom then losing her 9 months ago left me completely listless. It took me quite a while to realize I also felt if I will continue with my creative work, I will be betraying her memory or that it will somehow mean I am not <i>really </i>mourning her loss (which I am, daily).<br />
<br />
But finally, I am happy to inform you that I just completed a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/raisinlike">shop update</a>, with several new items. How exciting is that? Trust me, it will not take 9 months till the next one, I promise you that.<br />
<br />
So what's in store for you?<br />

The place is target of visits from all over the world, where people can enter the world of this super sparkly designer and witness her creation process as well as the inside of her factory - manufacturing jewelry, fashion, and home wear that is sold around the world. <br />
<br />
We started by having <a href="http://www.michalnegrin.com/content-19-Gallery_Cafe">a nice breakfast</a>, then headed to a tour of the factory and finally had a wonderful workshop where each of us got to create her very own <a href="http://www.michalnegrin.com/She-Shy">She Shy doll</a>. That part was simply heaven for me, and ended up in me bagging Michal to let me live in the puppeteer's studio filled with every embellishment I ever dreamed of working with. It was such a fun day!<br />
<br />
I took about a gazillion photo to share with you, hope you will enjoy them. <br />

<br />
Some of you may know I also have a (plus size) <a href="http://sharonabaaron.blogspot.com/">fashion blog</a> in Hebrew, which you can read using Google Translate or other translation tools.<br />
<br />
Well, I recently got one of <a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=81425">Sigma</a>'s excellent <a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Sigma_Flat_Top_Synthetic_Kabuki_F_80_p/f80.htm&Click=81425">flat top kabuki makeup brushes (F80)</a> to review. The brush turned out to be an excellent alternative to the almost three time more expensive Mac kabuki brush. It's soft, dense and smooth and requires half the amount of liquid foundation my other foundation brush does. An altogether thumbs up (and my Hebrew blog readers know I am not quick to pass a positive judgment on products I receive for review, not automatically anyway).<br />
<br />

The company Also suggested I hold a giveaway where one of my readers will win one of these brushes, which they will ship free of charge no matter what country the winner lives in. So, for the first time on my fashion blog history (it just turned a year old last month) I am able to host an international blog giveaway and invite you, the readers of Puppeteer on the Roof to join, yay!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Later on that afternoon, I came back home and decided to work on the garden and plant the flowers and greens I bought the day before, after spending a miserable afternoon visiting my dad's grave. Nothing cheers me up like flowers do. They are my favorite thing in the world.<br />

Utterly and completely straight.<br />
<br />
And yet, when I came about the <a href="http://www.itgetsbetter.org/">It Gets Better</a> project, I teared up while watching some of the wonderful videos on their website. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The goal of this project is to show gay, lesbian and transgendered youth, especially suicidal ones, that a good future does wait for them - one filled with love, success, friends, fun, joy and all other things grown ups know there is to life, which is sometimes invisible to young people.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">But I also relate to the message - I was bullied for many years as a child. I was too different, too sensitive, too desperate for love, too loud, too silly, too smart and on top of all - too fat. One of the great wonders of my life (to me) is how I managed to grow up to be a loving compassionate woman and not a bitter, spiteful, miserable person. Somehow, I always find the power to continue - despite adversities and no matter how lonely I feel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DEoCyLQgdCU?fs=1" width="480"></iframe> </div><br />
So I relate to the wonderful message of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and would like to add to it - No matter how "strange" you are, persevere, educate yourself about being fabulous and reach out to people you can relate to and don't lose hope, because no matter what injures your soul - It does get better.<br />

My friend Tamar even made a cake featuring my <a href="http://raisinlike.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-am-keeping-my-vow.html">new tattoo</a>!<br />

I also received many wonderful gifts - books, and jewelry, and accessories and a spa visit!<br />
<br />
Finally, my friends took this very short film as a contribution to Zia Kitaro's exciting new project <a href="http://www.bitsofisrael.com/">Bits of My Life in Israel</a>. The idea behind this project is to share <span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">moments of life in Israel, unedited but refined to 30-90 second films that <i>will show the world who lives here and illustrate that there is more to Israel than politics and conflicts</i>. Though what you see in this specific film is a conflict between myself and a snail who lives on my roof garden.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
They sell opaque <a href="http://www.welovecolors.com/Shop/PlusSizedHosiery.htm">plus size pantyhose</a> in 51 colors for either 9$ or 15$, as well as fishnet plus size, and printed ones (black or white stripes and colorful batik patterns). <br />
<br />
I already shopped there several times, due to an unbelievable shortage of plus size pantyhose in Israel (it is incredibly hard to find any that suit a fat and tall woman, like myself, not to mention colorful ones, that are no where to be found). I bought several colorful ones and am very happy with them, as you can see.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvN9OE8ONBjm18sanVo1ChkScAAMMyRr0Pmyt-XR9QiyltugdhwaWeiUrb4OqQJd8mViHG_K-aue6GcUZ24Ar7Az6eDtZD0i33CxbpkuNV7qRXPxvjGTMdgXefQJxSXH3E0hl0m1G5tPD/s1600/IMG_2845.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvN9OE8ONBjm18sanVo1ChkScAAMMyRr0Pmyt-XR9QiyltugdhwaWeiUrb4OqQJd8mViHG_K-aue6GcUZ24Ar7Az6eDtZD0i33CxbpkuNV7qRXPxvjGTMdgXefQJxSXH3E0hl0m1G5tPD/s320/IMG_2845.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fuchsia, brown and blue</span></div><br />
So I was very happy to be offered to get a few pairs to review on my <a href="http://sharonabaaron.blogspot.com/">Hebrew fashion blog</a>. I received 3 pairs of the more expensive variety (they have a type that costs 15$ and a type that costs 9$, which is the type I bought for myself so far). I received 3 of the 51 colors they sell - rust, spruce green, and black (the only color I specifically requested). I got my size, which is C\D. The largest size is EE (fitting a 1.82 meter tall woman who weighs up to 170kg).<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The pantyhose are very soft and silky, and lovely to wear. They are large and long (fitting almost up to my bra line) so they actually serve as a loose body shaper. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">There is only one problem with them - Unlike the cheaper variation I already have and washed many times in the laundry machine, these need to be hand washed and hanged separately. I did think of washing them separately by hand (cause I was told they just arrived from dyeing by the website manager) but I did carry them upstairs in the same basket as my ordinary laundry, and the rusty colored ones bled color all over my laundry, resulting in many stains and one shirt that went to the garbage. </div><br />

So in short - this is a great place to buy cheerful plus size pantyhose, but you have to take extra care is washing and drying the pantyhose. I would stick with the 9$ variety, if you are looking for a low maintenance product.Sharona R - שרונה ראובניhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921689926996089370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986864939057228619.post-89929736109707479772011-02-17T09:40:00.000+02:002011-02-17T09:40:51.259+02:002:31<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I got a rushed custom order for two <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/8099522/custom-made-full-size-hand-puppet">full size hand puppets</a> imitating a lovely couple who will get married next week. Their friends decided to make them a wedding video with puppets in their own image. I had a week to make them, and had to compromise on some aspects of the similarity, but the guys who ordered them seem to be happy, so - mission accomplished.<br />

One thing I can tell you though - no more emergency puppet making for me. You cannot believe how stressed I was, espceially since my right hand hurts terribly for the past month or so (I know, I should see a doctor), it has been raining most of the week (preventing me from working on the roof) and I was working as usual througout the week (meaning I had to work on the puppets at night). Bad bad bad. <br />
<br />
The guys promised to send me the film after the wedding, so I will be sure to share it with you guys! That's it. Have a nice weekend everybody and stay safe and warm. And of course - congratulations to the happy couple (obviously I am not sharing their photo, not to spoil the surprise).Sharona R - שרונה ראובניhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921689926996089370noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986864939057228619.post-77070141205440564592011-02-05T19:40:00.000+02:002011-02-05T19:40:37.181+02:00Puppeteer on the roofToday was such a beautiful sunny day, following several rainy ones, that I decided to spend a few hours on the roof.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Last month I sowed different types of tomatoes all over the roof garden.Look how huge this couple is getting! </div><br />

And here is a cherry tomato variety, I think it will soon be ripe for eating. This is actually from a tomato I put in the ground, and not seeds.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I still have a lot of work on this order, but I got a nice start. I missed working on the roof. I honestly have no idea how I am supposed to sell this apartment, but I do know one thing - I will be buying a smaller roof garden flat, no doubt about that.</div><br />
