my creative space - at the bazaar!!!

What a hectic last couple of weeks it has been!!! Alhamdulillah! Yesterday was my first experience of selling my crocheted work at a bazaar and although I'm absolutely dog-tired right now, it was a lovely experience. I hope to be able to share more about the whole thing, as well as some lessons I may have learnt along the way. But for now, here's what my creative space will continue to look like today ...

And this is the sight (and delicious aroma) that tortures me ALL day!!! Filled cookie dough vanilla, red velvet, carrot AND chocolate cupcakes! Yes, not just topped but filled!

And if that wasn't enough, there's yummy cheesecake, cake truffles and shortbread all made by Cake Memoirs!

Do check out more creative spaces here!

my creative space - busy

The first annual bazaar at Berlitz Ladies Center will be held on the 6th of June and guess who will be there behind a table bearing crocheted goodies alongside some yummy cakes made by one talented cake maker (aka sil). Erm, yes, me! In sha Allah! And I'm getting nervous about it. But I don't have time to get nervous!

I've been crocheting some new things ... (Baby barefoot sandals are cute!)

some old things ...

some funky chunky things ...

some light and lacy things ...

some more of my usual ...

... and some other things!

So if you're in Jeddah, stop by! It's an all day thing and located just off of Tahlia Street!

More hopefully not as nervous creative spaces at a new home right here!

A big thank you to all of you that have left me messages about my uncle. I really appreciate it. He's trying to come to terms with the long term dialysis that he needs to have. Another uncle of mine has to have heart surgery soon due to blocked arteries. So a lot of health issues going on in my family. It's so important for us to take care of our health!
