Moments of Wonder and Ponder

Assalamualikum.  Well this time, we don't have any instructions but an experience to share. This was the very first time we made marshmallows with an aunt, Alhammdulilah it wasn't very easy but it went well.  With regards to the taste - it was beyond delectable, Alhammduliah! This was a lovely experience and we just wanted to show you all how they turned out, so until next time, Assalamualykum.

  ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ It's Hanah here... We have a huge file of artwork and crafts that we did when we were very small, we have named it our ' memory journal' . As years have passed by, we have improved in our art, Alhammdulilah.  We both decided to 'recreate' some of our art work in the memory journal. It was very fun and challenging, especially to see whether our art skills have improved or if it is still stagnant and childish.  First up, I recreated a picture of my own :  After recreating it :  Then, I recreated Khadijah's baby drawing :  This is Khadijah's drawing that she was going to recreate : After re- drawing it : (whoops, the camera angle is wonky!) Khadijah recreated my baby drawing :  Alhammdulilah this was a very fun project and we hope to continue this InshaAllaah in the future, this idea wasn't our original and was inspired by two  YouTubers . Until next time, Assalamualykum.

Assalamualikum,  Today we are excited to share this handmade jar aquarium we made for our beloved Grandfather; he was elated with the special gift as he adores aquariums and fish, Alhammdulilah!  In fact, he inspired and encouraged us to start keeping fish and even gifted an aquarium to us, in which we now keep goldfish! His dedicated and passionate nature towards the hobby, despite his old age, always motivates us to never give up this wonderful hobby. He placed the aquarium jar on his desk and cherishes it greatly, Alhammdulilah. The creations inside the jar are totally handmade from craft foam and other materials.                                            We used an ordinary jam jar, this is the before :                                           And the aft...

  Assalamualykum! In this post, we have combined 4 DIY crafts we made throughout the weekends.  1. Customizing a birdhouse This birdhouse was bought from a clay shop, it was super cute the way it was originally but we wanted to make it more interesting so we did something contrasting, bright and creative : an adorable house vase! Before :  After :  We added a border out of foam for the window and door in order that they would have a                                                                       three-dimensional look. These beautiful flowers are from our grandmother 💗 2. Painting over a piece of wood  We couldn't give up this piece of wood as it holds a lot of memories to us, so instead of leaving it as it was - we decided to give it a 'makeover'. Before : After :  3....

The house was large and rectangular, its structure determined that it was designed with much diligence. It stood in the center of an immaculate lawn, surrounded by common lilacs and Azaleas trimmed in bushes, bright - colored and vibrant -  creating a vivid and lively atmosphere. The subtle and soft fragrance of blooming flowers, breezy wind that encircled through made them swing and dance all along in different directions. A big, naturally carved pond was found in the corner, it had impressive, eye-catching, lively koi fish that swam through. Attractive garden chairs surrounded the big, wooden, table with an exquisite glass top. Sturdy light grey bricked walls surrounded the garden, the graceless bougainvilleas peered through the wall and reclined on it. A tall, broad, rectangular building stood connected to the right of the wall, it was built with luxurious precious stones that shone upon reflecting the sunlight, Tall, huge glossy French - windows gleamed, and the tilled steps th...

 Assalamualykum everyone! In today's post we will be sharing with you an adorable miniature bedroom we made together. Everything is totally handmade except for the chair (a store bought eraser), and the miniature cactus which was made by our cousin sister. Alhammdulilah, we are overjoyed with the project, which took days to gradually complete. With that being said, we will see you next time with another exciting project.  InshaAllah.
