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.

WS,
Umme Maryam

Just In Time!

Alhamdulillah, I've been busy completing all my handmade goods for the Eid party tomorrow.  Please see below for the lastest items added for the Little Smiles Project.  Also, I met a new artist friend online who was so generous to contribute her works of art!


        
"The Olive Babies"
Eco-friendly cuddle babies with perfectly long arms to hug your little munchkin!  All dolls are sewn by me, complete with hand-stitched embellishments and lace.  The Olive Baby is $12 each and ready for sales tomorrow at the TMH Eid party, inshallah.  Currently, I have the above 5 dolls available.


Alhamdulillah, I am amazed at how people you've never met are willing to give a generous hand for a great cause.  Sehar Shahzad is a friend I just met about 2 days ago online and she was more than happy to contribute 3 of her beautiful works of art.  You can check out her facebook page for more paintings and Islamic Art.  Mashallah, she has used her skills for the beautification of the Ayahs of the Quran.  May Allah (swt) reward her for her hard work and effort!  Ameen.  Please see her artwork on sale for the Little Smiles Project below.

Lastly, please note that if you are interested in purchasing these items but are unable to attend any of the events at which I'm selling, you can contact me and we can arrange for an alternative option for buying and receiving the goodies.

I have a few more items I would like to post but we'll see if I can do it today.  If not, I'll add them over the weekend, inshallah.  And, for those of you who are coming the TMH Eid party, see you there, inshallah.

Until then, make dua for all!
