Seasonal colours
In the UK at this time of year i notice a lot of red, i believe its to do with the pending Christmas season, all around me in the shops and high streets décor bursting with red. Sometimes glittery, i must say i like the prettiness of it all. I don't celebrate Christmas but living in the west you can not avoid it. So i just take advantage of all things seasonal at this time!

WIP updates
I have been crafting a lot lately mashaallah and i have to say been loving it Alhamduiah ! What a blessing from my Lord that he has blessed me with hands and a sane mind to enable me this humble pleasure. What a lot to be grateful for and not take for advantage.
A friend and sister in Islam rings me Saturday mid morning and tells me she is at a Lidil Stores and they have lots and lots of pretty yarn at cheep cheep prices, did i want her to get me some? You bet i did , she told me all the different colours ect so i picked out some and here they are yummy yarn!
As i went to refund her the cost she then informs me its even yummier as its a gift for me from her . Jazak Allahu Khyrun Ukti (may Allah bless you sister).
A scarf for the sister, this pom pom yarn works well with knitting and as you may know not a great knitter but can do the basics!
A mug cosy, not finished here in the picture , i invented my own pattern here. I am getting some Velcro today to finish it off.
This is one of my 10 minute fixes ...................Sometimes i have the spontaneous earge to create , slip into the kitchen and a short time later a very rewarding piece is created alhamduilah, TabbarakAllah!
This was made for a dear friend in mind who told me she is a tea cosy type of person!
Next up is another 10 minuite fix , A USB holder soultion for the teen at school. I used the colours to match her uniform.
It holds 2 USB's and i used a popper fastener and embellished it with buttons and the ''made with care'' sew ons.

Looking at Bangladeshi culture In the UK part of Cultural Inclusion Project at schools. I escorted my daughters class on a trip to Bangla Town In the UK to get a feel of the culture and see foods relating to the Bangladeshi culture. Here are my pictures ;

Eid Al Adha 2009
It felt like it was Eid Ul Fitr just yesterday. I didn't really have any plans as such . Prayers in the morning naturally to star the Eid day. I picked up these dates for breakfast 
I cooked some different dishes for Eid day , treats mainly for the family.
I made Raffealo Truffles the recipe can be found here , thank you Henia!
Then there was the Kheer
I also decided to make Tripe to get into the spirit of Eid North African Arab style much to everyone's horror. No one else likes it so i made a big pot that took hours but worth every minute and i froze it in batches all for me!
Iused an Algeria recipe known by the name of Backbooka.
Next day for Eid i took the children to the Circus as a treat from me . We headed to Hyde Park , London where part of the park has been converted into a Winter Wonderland so we got a whole load more.
We was hoping to get some out door ice skating in but it was raining so we headed home.
