Making Marshmellows

 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 auntie, Alhammdulilah it wasn't very easy but it went well. With regards to the taste - it was amazing Alhammduliah! This was a lovely experience and we just wanted to show you all how they turned out, so until next time, Assalamualykum.

Recreating our childhood art

  ٱلسَّÙ„َامُ عَÙ„َÙŠْÙƒُÙ…ْ It's Hanah... 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 become better and improved in our art and the way we perceive things, So both of us decided to 'recreate' some of our arts 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.

A Weekend Of Crafts

  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 adorable the way it was but we noticed a door-like shape on each side so, in order to make it a bit more interesting, we turned it into a 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 has a lot of memories, so instead of leaving it as it was - we decided to give it a 'makeover'. Before : After :  3. Miniature landscapes We knew something had to be done with these adorable cement pots our aunt gifted us, something miniature that would delve in! Before : First up, we filled it with sand, Added this artificial
