The end of an era...

I have now moved onward and upwards...if you want to find me, i'm now here

Moonbathe

I wish I had ordered one of these....now the solar plum colour I wanted it in has sold out :-(

Leaving an oddmality tag for a more creative one...

Got tagged to list my oddmalities but seeing as i'm not odd ;) I thought instead I'd introduce my old but now new again hobby - jewellery making. The tagger bought me a home jewellery making kit for my birthday and I've been hooked since (no pun intended).

Was going to post this after I'd given it to you but I can't sleep and want to reply to your tag so her goes....


I made you this necklace using jewellery wire (any wire thin enough to thread beads or even thread itself can be used)









A close up of the design. I only used one piece of wire and twisted and knotted it at certain places to make the design.


A close up of my signature tag. The pendant thing says 'made for you'. Bought these when we went on a craft shopping trip.

One side of the necklace clasp needs to threaded and tied on to the wire before you start adding beads.



Hope you like it :-) oh and remember to acted all shocked and surprised when I give it you ;-)

PS: I'm hoping to add more things i've made, the good, the bad and the ugly things. Really can't seem to enable the comments section, so I might just move elsewhere....catch me if you can!

I saw this and thought of you...

Brooches......



.....more brooches


and MORE brochees


ALL for you Hema, I did try and buy you one but appranty they exchange money for brooches and I didn't have any at the time. JTM can back me up here my intentions were there....

The dawn of a new horizon...

From what happened during placement, new ideas I had back in April and speaking to several people about the lack of activities for Muslim youth,I decided to go ahead and organise a Quran circle at my house. After all what is there to lose?

With the blessing of my Dad and the help of a dear friend I know have book of Quran stories for children and lots of ideas for activities to do with them. I plan on starting it during the summer maybe a day or 2 every week at my house. SO if you have any siblings, cousins, kids loitering around your street send them to me.

For further information email me : email add has now disappeared you were too late DOH!

Edit post: Just received this email:

.... got a phone call today from a sister whose looking for soemone local to teach mosque kids at ***** masjid in rochdale the basics about islam in english... if anyones intrested in doing this over summer (in the evenings around 5-7 for as many days as they can spare) then please InshAlah Ta'ala let me know... or if u know of any sisters that might want to volunteer for such a task..much appreciated :)

Hmmmm do I go with my own idea or jump on the band wagon of this idea? With my own idea I'll be fully responsible (which kind of scares me) and I've already planned which stories to use and what activities to do. The other one will mean that all the responsibility won't be on my shoulders which is a mega plus and there will be more kids at a mosque then in my living room. However I know there is controversy about the mosques in Rochdale. I don't understand it but I do know it exits. Would that mean children who might come to my house might not go the mosque in question? its times like these I really wish my comments section was working....
