Update on my WIP

I have been doing a bit nothing finished yet but soon inshaAllah!
Remember this find?
Well i started

A cushion cover, i adore that silvery brown wool , the look and texture are very nice , even greater when worked into a project!
Now i took Umm Hibaat's advice and started some smaller items that gave me instant gratification




DD wants a lap top cover but i want a coaster or table mat, perhaps a doily thingy to throw over the stereo to keep the dust off.
I have also been inspired to do some sewing again for my little DD7yrs old

Who recalls the Gingham for school uniform in the summer, well i want my DD to feel cool and comfortable whilst looking good in a modest dress. I managed to get the fabric and i am going to try make something up myself, will post when i have done it inshaAllah. I will most likely go for a two piece long top with trousers.

Just pottering about really

Well the holidays are over and its all back to routine again, i didn't think i would be able to get out of bed this morning to make the lunches and get the kids off to school, well i didn't they awoke me! All what i had planned for the holidays didn't materilise and we spent quality time indoor with one another instead and it was great mashaallah. I said to the kids yesterday i don't want you to go back to school tomorrow as i will miss you guys! They were pleased and said, 'fine ummi( Mum), as we don't want to go back anyhow!''
We have illness in the home just lately and it seems to be dragging out alhamduilah (all praise to Allah). So it was a case of nursing the poorly and doing what i could in between.

A nice cup of tea and an anadin often puts the females in the home right, while the males need

A hearty food but in this case some liver to help build up the strength

Finailly when the sun came out at the end of week two subhanAllah. We decided to finish the garden and get out there, my DS assembled the furniture for me

Then there was time to enjoy a nice cup of Earl Grey Tea in the sun mashaAllah.

There was chocolate to make it all seem sweeter
