Snowman teapot

I hate to, and never before, have mentioned our political situation in this part of the world, but it seems we are at war again. 5 days of rockets from Gaza on civilian cities. A young mother and two civilians were killed, a baby and her brother injured on the first day.   The Israeli air force is trying to stop them, a difficult task as the terrorists hide behind innocent civilians and hospitals.  They shoot their rockets from school yards and mosques.

Each time the alarm sirens are on we have to stay in sheltered rooms.  It's not so bad here, where I live,
but it's not easy in the towns near Gaza.

I use this opportunity to thank all my online friends who were concerned and sent me emails. I am so grateful to you all.

Since I have to stay home most of the time, I am working on my Christmas gifts.  Remember the bead necklace I showed in an earlier post?  I had another brain wave and made this cute snowman teapot
I used the white beads from the same necklace to make it.








Blessings to all

  5. I was thinking of you since the first time I heard these terrible news - but I've seen your comments on my and other blogs and this was a sign for me that you're fine, according to the circumstances. I hope things won't go any further, but this is only hoping without true belief. - Your snowman teapot is lovely, a clever idea.

    Hugs

  17. Olá Drora, toda essa situação é muito triste, sinto muito, o pior é que sempre quem mais sofre, em todas as guerras , de todos os lados , são sempre os cívis....gente que só quer trabalhar, cuidar da sua família... é muito triste, ainda ontem comentava sobre ti com meu marido, e disse que nunca tinhas feito menção sobre o conflito.... infelizmente... querida, protejá-se e fique bem. Um grande abraço do Brasil e muitos beijos em teu coração.

  27. Dear Drora, I thought of you as I was listening to the news and I wondered if you were out of harm's way as those rockets came down. I'm so glad to hear that you are safe. But still, it must be so scary to live through something like this. When will it end? I'm keeping you in my prayers. Your little tea pot is adorable! You're so brave to just carry on like this!

  28. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us, Drora. As I mentioned to you once before, I don't follow the news, so I wouldn't know about this if you didn't tell me. I'm so sorry you and your countrymen have to go through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you. You've managed to come up with a fantastic creative idea with the snowman teapots--very cute! xo Jennifer

  29. Last night I talk to my husband about the situation with you. It is so hard to understand and cope with the situation with you. You have so many years lived under difficult and unpredictable conditions, difficult to understand that it may not be possible to get the conflict resolved and get some peace on people's lives. I think of you Drora and hope the best for you and your family.

    Hugs

  40. Sigo las noticias por televisión y también sigo tu blog, por eso suponía que estabas bien. Cuanto me alegro, pero mantente siempre en sitio seguro porque las guerras no respetan nada. Es increíble que el ser humano aún no comprenda que las guerras no llevan a nada, solo a destrucción y muerte. Sigue haciendo esas minis tan bonitas y olvidar por unos momentos esa terrible situación. Por tus post en el blog sabemos que estás bien. No dejes de actualizarlo. Un beso muy grande.

  41. Mi dispiace leggere queste triste notizie, purtroppo nel mondo non cambia niente, della gente è morta e chissà quanta altra ne morirà inutilmente per delle stupide guerre.
    Immagino come ti starai sentendo.
    Complimenti per le mini, le teiere sono deliziose in entrambe le versioni.
    Ti abbraccio forte forte,
    Mely
