On Wednesday I participated in another Anthropologie workshop. This time it was a gift basket making workshop. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one or what it included, but nevertheless I figured it’s Anthro so it’s worth checking out. There were a lot more attendees at this event than the last one I attended. At our arrival, we were greeted with hot chocolate, juices, and an assortment of [...]
I can’t believe it’s already mid-week! Yikes. I have to confess I’ve been a bit of a slacker in the craft department for the past few days. Instead I’ve just been chilling and getting into some good books. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to share with you. :) Today I’m going to share a project that I actually put together some time ago using my fabric scrap [...]
I love gifting yummy treats in cute packaging as much as I love receiving them [hint, hint;)]. In the previous post, I shared candy cane cookie truffles, which I made using Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s cookies. Today, I will show you how I packaged them. Yup, those are winter hats that you see! With the chilly weather, tasty treats like to be kept warm too ya know! ;) Let [...]
Last year I had received Eid cookie stencils from Eidway which I had shared with you in this post HERE. I loved how the stencils created beautifully designed cookies that were personalized for the special occasion of Eid. This year, Eidway has designed cookie stencils specifically for Eid al-Adha, and they so kindly sent me my very own set. Along with them, they also sent me their new cake stencil designs. In [...]
My husband’s favorite cookie is the chocolate chip cookie, but not any ordinary chocolate chip cookie. It must be homemade. I’m sure most of us can agree with him… you can’t beat a homemade chocolate chip cookie. The only problem: I am yet to find that perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’ve tried several to no avail, so my default recipe is either the one on the back of Trader [...]

On the second to last week of school for Suraya, she came home with a packet of poems. My favorite one was a poem called Louder Than a Clap of Thunder by Jack Prelutsky from The New Kid on the Block. Personally, I like to call this poem Ode to Fathers (or husbands). ;) Louder than a clap of thunder, louder than an eagle screams, louder than a dragon blunders, or [...]
A few weeks ago I had gone shopping at a resale shop in the downtown of a nearby town. It’s called the Carousel Shop. I love this little shop because you can find vintage pieces at thrift shop prices! It’s fairly small, but almost every time I do go there I find some wonderful treasures. On this one trip, a couple of my treasures consisted of a vintage glass light [...]
Does everyone know what they are doing for their moms on Mother’s Day? I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing for my mom… but I do have some ideas. I know I don’t have much time so I better get moving! In case you are in the same boat as I am, here are some ideas I found around the web that I thought are adorable. Ruffles & [...]
