Latest Updates...

Salaams,

Sorry I've seemed quite for some time. I've been busy completing a large order of The Norah Doll, alhamdulillah. Anyone else interested, feel free to contact me. I'm taking custom orders. If you wish to add a personalized tag with a child's name, I can add that as well for $2.00. It would make a perfect gift for an aqeeqah, celebration, etc.

Here is a custom order I made for a sister:

She wanted legs added to the Olive Babies so there they are! If you can see, personalized name tags were also hand-sewn to the bottom left corners of the dolls' dress.

Here are the labels up close:

I've been itching to make handmade body products and the easiest item to make first seemed to be lip balms.

So, I decided to make 16 small pots of lip balm (20mL) with my recipe and give them out as mini Eid-ul Adha gifts for cousins and aunts. I also requested them to donate however much they wanted for my Little Smiles Project in charitable spirit of the celebration.

Alhamdulillah, they all did! And, all of the lip balms got sold, mashallah! The lip balms contain wonderful natural ingredients extra good for the skin and lips. I hope they like them.

Well that's about it. Please contact me if you wish to purchase anything. Proceeds will go to Islamic Relief Canada.

Items Ready for Sale

Assalaamu Alaykum Everyone!

Alhamdulillah, I finally have some items ready for sale!  Remember 100% of all proceeds will go to the Islamic Relief Canada, inshallah.  So, feel free to splurge a little.  It's for a great cause!

Here are some photos for you to enjoy.

"Creaginative by Sheen Qaaf"

These lovely framed Islamic artworks were created by Sheen Qaaf of Creaginative.  Using various forms of media, these modern, chic designs can suit the interior decorating of any home.  Each of the above frames cost $15.  You can check out more of her super creative works of art at http://creaginative.blogspot.com/. Mashallah, a very talented artist!  

Sheen: Jazakallah Khair for sharing your wonderful masterpieces.  I appreciate it!

"My Green Village"

Eco-friendly hand-stitched plush globe sewn from new and "upcycled" materials.  All 7 continents are carefully cut out in felt and hand-stitched onto the globe.  It's a great toy for your little munchkin!  Currently, one is available for $15.  The sewing pattern and tutorial will soon be available at my Etsy shop, inshallah.  So, if you wish to sew some for the Little Smiles Project, please do so.  I need all the help I can get!

"My Notes"

Mini weekly notebooks hand-drawn by me.  Each day of the week has its very own unique design.  

These mini notebooks make a great gift for anyone, young and old.  To be honest, I keep one handy in my purse to jot down phone numbers and notes on the go.  No more lost phone numbers or email addresses of those old friends you randomly bump into at the mall or grocery store!  Your younger ones can also have fun colouring the designs and filling the pages in with their very own artwork and doodles.  

$5.00 for 6 notebooks.  

  

"The Norah Doll"

Eco-friendly handmade dolls available in several ethnic skin tones, hair colours, and hair styles.  Every doll is very unique and not like the other.  These colourful, vibrant dolls are made with lots of love and care.  Currently, I have 10 dolls under way.  I am hoping to complete them all for the Eid party this weekend...inshallah!  Each Norah Doll will cost $15.  If you are interested in sewing some for this project, the sewing pattern is available at Little Smiles.   

Also, stay tuned as I'm adding the final touches to The Olive Babies ($10 each)...pictures will be posted as soon as I'm done.  I will have 5 available for sales at the Eid party this Saturday, inshallah.  Mini colouring booklets of the 4 food groups (6 booklets per package) are also being completed soon ($5 each package).  Lastly, please don't think I forgot about the boys!  I have a few plush dinosaurs also waiting to be sewn, inshallah ($12 each).  

Until then, wassalaam!
