Just wanted to share this link to free coloring printouts from Made by Joel.  If you have restless kids and walls that need painting it might help :)

when you were little

did you used to play this game? I remember how complicated and never ending it seemed and now I can see that in my 4 year old daughter as she has been playing with it non stop for days. So far we made one for foods, animals, Islamic one and little funny tasks to do...any more ideas?

(and here is a little video that I had to google for as I couldn't remember how to fold them)

maxi dress sewing.

        I took two of my dresses that I love and the fabric stash that I bought in Algeria last time.

                                                     simply cut around the dress

                                               and again in a different colour , sew together
                                                                             and....

easy peasy! I made belts for both of them just to have the option and next time Inshallah I will try to do the elastic in the middle or some details maybe on the neck line. Uff so far so good.

(now what should I try next, something from  ????? or ????? )

AFTER WUDU OIL.

I mixed a little face oil for myself to apply after wudu (the washing before prayer).

50 ml Jojoba oil (I just added all the other oils to this bottle)
13 drops Geranium essential oil
13 drops Lavender essential oil
4 drops Camomile essential oil

I wanted to add Rose essential oil but didn't have any. I only use a tiny tiny amount each time. This might be a bit strong for some so if you are sensitive add less drops also if you are pregnant or feeding its better to wait before using some essential oils so read about it first.

I would love to hear about how you use your essential oils or if you have any blends to share.

(Thanks Nourished Mama for your recommendations.)

Spring (in a jar in my kitchen).

I know it's been over 5 months since my last post, almost half a year! I guess I'm not the best of bloggers, but somehow I always find my way back here.

mmmm

I found a little plum cake recipe over here the other day and since its soon the end of their season and probably some sad looking plums in fridges around the world I thought I would share it and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

                                 it sometimes gets confusing with 5 languages at home!

It's been a while!

since I've done any blogging or anything crafty. I was busy with Ramadan and then a long holiday. But I'm back to my home routine and I miss my little space online, even if its just silly little posts with photos of dough.

                                    Happy weekend everyone !

slowly but surely

dreaming of green fingers

The story of my avocado tree continues, Ive blogged about it before here and here, but I think it must be the slowest growing plant Ive ever had.

I also came across  this basil tip on pinterest and I'm trying it out, hopefully doing it correctly.

Happy weekend everyone!

from my kitchen

                          (basil, parsley, beetroot, sun dried tomato, tomatoes, peppers, chillies, chard, cucumbers, oranges, lettuce, spinach)

I love seeing food photos on blogs, I'm curious about whats inside other peoples fridges and what kind of meals they make, the blog world is such a great place for this as you see inside cupboards from people all over the world. I don't normally open a friends fridge when I go for a visit therefor whenever I get a chance to glimpse into someones everyday life its a thrill.... so hoping that everyone who reads this will send me photos from their kitchens here is my market shopping and if you enjoy food photos as much as me I'll do this again ;)

I asked my friend if I could share her list of loving things she does for herself every day. Its certainly an inspiration for me and I thought maybe some of you would like it as well.

green juice

hot and cold showers......love them!

rest in the afternoon, if possible

exercise

clean food

dry skin brushing

clean hair. unclean hair makes me fell peculiar!

go slowly

I would love to know what kind of nice things you do to take care of yourselves.

simple

I'm focusing on simplicity, enjoying simple moments, simple food. I think I'm getting better at it, I catch myself smiling from just a happy feeling inside, comfort that everything is as it should be. Alhamdulillah.

this is how I feel today

I loved Kelle's idea of a weekly photo collage. Just random photos from the phone. The only problem is I don't have photoshop and I don't know where online I can put these collages together. This one I used I found on google but the quality is not great. If you know of any nice photo editing websites please let me know.
