| I decided that I needed to make a Golden Matzoh Ball, by sewing together two small kippot made
from matzoh fabric, with a strip of lame
in the middle.
My initial thought was that I could make several, and serve them in soup
bowls (without liquid) as a surprise for the kids.
But after making the ball part, I started thinking that this could be like
Harry Potter's Golden Snitch - whoever finds it wins a special prize in
the afikomen hunt.
I told this to my son. He said, "But it needs wings!"
So I quilted gold lame wings.
This version came out a bit messy (That middle piece wasn't cut on the bias,
and is interfaced, which didn't help). I may have to try again, though my
medical friend, Dr. Steven, fears that if there are more than one, they will---like Tribbles
on the first Starship Enterprise---court, reproduce and soon fill my
air conditioning ducts, my entire spaceship, and eventually, the planet.
(Since it is golden, and rather ornate object, I may have to add a label
saying, "Please Do Not Worship.")
If only my dining area had rafters. I could attach it to a string and
pullies, and have it rise, fall, and fly around like a pinata.
This one has fluffy stuffing, but I'm thinking that with the plastic pellet
stuffing, it may be rather like a hacky-sack ball (And it would be heavier.
When it comes to matzoh balls, heavy is good).
