Crocheted bag

My first bag mashaallah yahay my dd 7yrs asked me tomake her one and choose the colours, i tried to put her off by saying we didn't have the right beeds but she searched high and low to round up 15, there is even a piece of the fairy lights in there. Came nice happy with the result,i am working on a Gazza purse for dd 15yrs now.


BTW dd 7yrs old took all the pictures herself , got alittle carried away mind you i like her shots mashaAllah.

The Learning Curve

Alhamduilah the kids are liking school and the learning is coming on thick and fast mashaAllah. The year 2 has been doing a whole project about the great fire of London. I took her to the London Museum to supplement the learning process. It's been interesting for me to re-learn about it again after so many years. Here are some pictures

St Paul's Cathedral was burnt down during the fire and re-built after. Stillstanding today.

Some candle holders and dishes used for lighting that period.

This is a bakers oven. A baker would spit in the hot oven and listen to the sizzle to know if it was hot enough.


I liked the paintings



While year 5 has the chance to go to our local Football Club as they had the FA cup

Now for the tag, there is nothing like a tag to bring you back after a blog absence
Happy Muslim Mamma tagged me here


Here are the rules of this tag:

1. Admit one thing you feel awful about (involving being a mom). Once you have written it down, you are no longer allowed to feel bad. Remember you are a good mom!

2. Remind yourself that you ARE a good mom, list 7 things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you.

3. Send this to 5 other moms of the year that deserve a reminder that they too are the best moms that they can be. Remember to send them a note letting them know you have selected them, and also add a link to your post that directs people back to the person who nominated you!

My answers:
1. I feel bad that i don't give my kids enough hugs and tactile affection.
2. Humm well i love their company, i love their sense of humor, i love it when they are kind, i like it when they are thoughtful, when they want to learn, I like going on hols with them, I love them for all they are mashaAllah.
