Moments of Wonder and Ponder

  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'.

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.

I gave my sister the chance to go even though we both wanted to meet our cousins.  After everyone left, I was studying for a long time until around afternoon time I heard the gate opening; as I went downstairs my sister came running up to me in an abnormal jovial mood, to my surprise she had brought a … squirrel! I was more than delighted - we both immediately ran up and put the pot in which the squirrel was in (it was closed) in our room and then my sister told me the story behind bringing the animal home.
