When it snows, ain’t it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland. Since I put this vignette together, I can’t seem to get the song Winter Wonderland out of my head. Walking in a winter wonderland. In the lane, snow is glistening. Now grab your coat and take a walk with me in my winter wonderland. ;) This [...]
One last wedding related post, I promise! This time this project is for Susu.. her hair accessory. I had planned to make Susu the same style hair clip as I did for Suraya, but I wanted Susu’s to have a petaled look and fuller. I had planned to substitute the circle cut outs with flower cut outs. The obvious idea, right? Well, Jonie over at Just Between Friends had a [...]
Suraya is all ready for her role as the flower girl in her uncle’s wedding. Dress… check! Shoes… check! Jewelry (pearl earrings and pearl bracelet)… check! Flower basket… check! And now hair accessory… yup, that’s a check too! It was an easy one to make. Here, I’ll show you… I used two different shades of pink satin fabric and white. I also included a few pieces of netting in there as [...]
I wasn’t crazy about the flower girl baskets that the craft stores sell nor do I think they are worth their price. I found gorgeous baskets on Etsy that are more than what I want to spend even though they appear to be well deserving of their prices. So the only solution left was for me to make one myself. But of course! I made two baskets; one for Suraya [...]
Suraya’s pillows are done! I think they turned out cute! Suraya thought so too! I mixed them up with ruffles and flowers working with fabric I already had on hand. I’m going with the purple, aqua, and pink color scheme, so these three fabrics couldn’t have been more perfect! If you recall, I did tell you I have a “fabric shop” in my house… well that’s what my hubby calls it:) [...]
Whenever I make a trip to Anthropologie (and Godiva for my free monthly truffle!), I tend to cut through Bloomingdale’s (Home) because there’s almost always a parking spot for me there. That one spot as if it’s waiting just for me! Back in September, on one of my trips, as I was passing through Bloomingdale’s on my way back to my car, I spotted this pillow… I absolutely LOVED the [...]
That’s my winter wreath! What do you guys think of it? Does it say winter to you? I loved the oval vine wreath. I thought the shape had a wintery look to it, and it was the perfect size for my door:) Want to see how I made it? Well come on! Let’s get started! This is what you will need: Vine wreath, Snow spray, fabric flowers, b-r-r wooden letters, [...]
Let it snow, let it snow… Oh let it snow! I love snow! (Except driving in it..hehe) I love watching the snow falling down as it creates a velvety white blanket for the Earth. It looks and feels magical:) If you look very closely as it falls against a window, you can see each individual tiny snowflake that creates that blanket. How beautiful is that! Snow! That’s my inspiration for [...]
I think I’ve told you guys that I love making Eid treats for the family. As much as I love making the treats, my favorite part is dressing up the treats with cute packaging:D It’s all about presentation! Who doesn’t love pretty presentation…especially a yummy treat in a pretty package! For this coming Eid al-Adha I’ve decided to do a basket with an assortment of treats. Also, I thought it [...]
Now that I’m done with cakes, I’m back to more fall projects. Yay! My family and I went to the pumpkin farm. We had fun on the kiddie rides (adults too!), pony rides (kiddies only), petting zoo, haunted house and fun barn, ate yummy apple treats and kettle corn, and just enjoyed the cute scenery around the farm. There’s also hay rides, a corn maze, and pig races which we [...]
