Four amazing years

At the age of 13 days



At her first birthday




At the age of two



At her third birthday



A month before she's four years old



Happy 4th Birthday (tomorrow) our little princess, we love you more than anything in the whole wide world, you are the most precious gift Allah gave us and I am thankful every day that you are a part of our life...

From the first day you were born you have been a special girl, and even though sometimes I might not show it at all , I know how lucky I am that you are my little one..

May Allah keep you safe and happy for us.

Mommy's night out with the girls

Well all mommy's have to have one every now and then, and my girl calls it mommies gatherings.

Last Wednesday I went with a group of friends to visit another friend's house in Aramco for a barbecue , I was excited about the idea of having a women only night , all grown ups with no one to hang on my skirt asking for things all the time and getting so bored that all she wants to do is ask to go to the toilet so I can walk around with her ( she does that in restaurants all the time )



The house we went to was just gorgeous, lovely lighting, candles every where , nice music and a great hostess..



I had a very relaxing time in their backyard which she made look pretty with candles and tiny lights and a fire.. And a table already set with table cloth and plates under a lovely gazebo.. Very nice mashallah, even the rest of the house , specially her youngest daughter's room which was very dreamy..( no picture of that room, and the darkness made the picture not very clear but you can get the whole idea)



The barbecue was yummy, so were the salads, sauces and dessert. I recommend this group lol.

So you might have noticed that I haven't blogged for a while , I've been so busy making me a new health plan that includes two hours in the gym, not all of them are working out for sure, but I'm going with a close friend and we are giving each other support and a good time. So I did nothing crafty or decoratively , except that it's almost winter so I'm working again on my rippled blanket that refuses to finish.

So see you again when I see you..

A nice place

I just love this place, it's an Italian restaurant called The perk , and from the first time I went there I fell in love with it.

I love the decor, and when it's empty it's really calm with the soft music they play and all that light..

A great idea from the window, a very small area with no view outside but still they made it look special with the plant and the bench..



I love the wall color and the dark wooden floor..



High ceilings and cute fans.. With a small pond and fountain in the middle, it's soothing to hear the sound of water with the music.



This is something I want in my house, a brick wall with arched windows. They look very good..



And as a plus point the food is yumm..

No, this is not a paid advertisement ! All the opinions are the authors own..

Cute kids

Last night we were at my mom's cousin's house , I saw my family for the first time since Ramadan and it was great.

This cute baby mashallah is one of the cutest I've ever seen.. I just love babies with their thump in their cute little mouth, and he was sleeping so it's double the cuteness mashallah. He is my cousin's baby (not the one we visited, my real cousin)



This is a nice picture of the future of Saudi Arabia, girls in their car with the boy filling it with fuel.. So cute mashallah, the girls r my girl and my cousin's girl, they are a year apart, both Scorpio with the same personality.. They are a hand full mashallah. The boy is my other cousin's son .



Don't you just love it when kids play with each other leaving the mom's a time to breathe? my little girl wants to go back to school on the weekends because she is feeling very bored at home, and it is only ten in the morning..!

I have an order for a black and white bag+wallet, it's good to work on things again.

Another signِ

This one is in steak house, I find it funny... Hmmmm...



This is not a sign but I wanted to show you how I added some more shelves in my room , I have lots of things and I need all the space I can get. It feels more crafty this way working with all my materials where I can see them around me.



This is one of the mini furnitures I got , a small chair and a mini basket filled with mini fabrics. I want to paint the chair and decorate it a bit, but not now I still haven't found my crafty twin.



So that's all I have.. c u later.

Not another poem

Hi , thanks to all of the nice ladies who posted worriedly about my poem, well I wasn't that depressed, but thought that magnifying my emotions would make a nicer poem so I did..

But I know that I have great people in my life when I need a shoulder to cry on, and I would like to thank all those shoulders in advance ..! Inshallah I will be my cheerful self again ( if this cheerful self ever did exist in the first place, ha ha I can say it you can't laugh about it! )

So to make up for the negativeness of my last post I would like to share this nice sign that some lady posted in her blog ( sorry nice lady I can't remember now which one are you ) about the lost and found section in Disney land.



And Hopefully in time I will have something good and funny about my life to share.. I wish hard for that.

I'm still here
With nothing to share..
Sitting in front of my computer
with an empty stare..

Trying to find something
that I can write about..
But all I can think of is my fears and tears
And a lot of things that I doubt..

But don't worry about me
I will survive...
This isn't my first time
And I'm still alive..

I just thought I'd try to write about it
In words that rhyme..
Just for the fun of it
and to waste some time..

Have a nice day :)

Handle with care..

My cousin (actually my mom's cousin) came back from a 9 month trip to the USA, while she was there I asked her to look for bag making things for me in Joanne , where she went there to have sewing classes.

She got me these bag handles , which I've been wanting for a loooong time since seeing them all around the net.



(those look like handcuffs in this picture..!)



I'm very happy with all the ones she got me and I can't wait to use them , maybe on some of my new tummy fabrics...



Hmmm or maybe I should go get some newer fabric for this occasion??

Anyways thanks lulaz for the lovely selection.
She also got me some bag making patterns , they look tempting to try. Plus some 100 something box of cookie cutters that I'm really excited about, now all I have to do is make some cookies..

A few days ago I bought these tiny furnitures..



I guess I felt jealous of moomface's doll house I wanted to have mine lol..
They just need some painting and accesorising and a place to be put in..! Sometimes I'm really an impulsive shopper.. Ok all the times..!
But who can resist buying new lovely stuff? surely not me.

So I'll post pictures of the finished project, if it ever finishes..!

Therapy in the form of shopping

Well I always use this kind of therapy, I know its effect is usually temporary like eating chocolates , but still I think of it as my favorite way of therapy.

yesterday I wasn't feeling very pink, I had a hint of blue in me, so mom took me shopping in my most loved place , AlZamil, and to be specific to the fabric area. God it was good to be surrounded with all those potential projects. And all those colors...



Needless to say I had me a nice collection of half a meter fabrics in all sorts of yummy colors. And I came back home a happy girl.




I also took pictures of the trims and ribbons my friend got me from Canada, I just love them all..







And another thing I haven't mention yet, for Eid gift my husband got me a kind of scanner that scans negatives and turns them into digital files of the pictures in the negatives, well I just love it, I have many pictures that were lost through the years and I only got heir negative, and to think of all the money I would've spent to develop them... If anyone needs a picture from a negative contact me I'll be more than happy to use my scanner.

What we did in our two weeks vacation..

Well we met with as many family and friends as possible in this relatively short time, we had to be in three different places, and we were having bad colds and Eid gatherings. It was a somehow stressful times but 7amdillah we had fun too.

We only went shopping twice, one time to Ikea, of course I have to go but strangely I didn't find much that I liked, and the things I did like were too large to take back home.


Then we went to a mall in Makkah and my girl had some good time in the amusement area with her aunty (my sis in law which is only 13).





Eid was nice, the night before it we were in Taif were we played games with my in laws and it was nice, then we had Eid breakfast and some of us acted funny like my brother in law..



Then we went to Jeddah for my family's lunch and it was great seeing them after a whole year, and nice exchanging gifts, I got some cool stuff thanks everyone.And my girl got this toy kit from her aunty(my sis) which I enjoyed doing it for her, so pretty.



I met with the two new cute additions to the family, my two cousin's babies, and my aunt's baby , mashallah so cute.

After that we didn't do much but rest and sleep and stay at my in laws house in Makkah.

I had a chance to go to some friend's house and I spent some time with my best friend who just came back from Canada and got me some yummy ribbons or trims I dunno which is the right word for them but I just liked them so much, thanks cute cat.Pictures of them coming soon inshallah.

So That's all we did, it seemed like two years due to some family arguments and misunderstanding, and because of us all being sick, but over all it is good being with family for a while.

Hopefully after being fully settled in, I will have a chance to do something crafty or decorative. With lot's of good pictures.
