Nostalgia...

Hey everybody!  I hope you are all doing well.  I know, I know.  I haven't posted in awhile.  It doesn't mean I was sitting around eating bon-bons, I am very busy stitching!  After months of waiting, I FINALLY got a place in the local farmers' market selling my handmade handbags and aprons.  Can you believe it??  It does involve getting up at 530AM every Wednesday and be all packed up by 3PM.  Luckily the market is five minutes away from my home. LOL.


Well, in this post I would like to share with you my latest project.  Last Wednesday, a lady asked me if I can do an apron for her.  She said a word which really inspired me to do this apron (did you guess it?) nostalgia.  The word nostalgia was my inspiration for this apron.

ENJOY!

I would love to hear from you, Beacuse I love to read your comments.
Lots of love,

Samya :)

Aprons and Knitted Borders.

Hello everyone and a happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was relaxing and fruitful.  Today, I want to share my two new aprons.  I bought this fabric from Jo-Anne's Fabric a while back, with no plan on what to do with this beautiful fabric.  Last week, I bought some cotton yarn to match, and in one of my old books I found some directions on how to knit a border.  I am not a knitter by any means.  Alas, I knitted two borders for this beautiful fabric and the end result were these aprons with a knitted borders.

Have a look.  I hope you like it!

 It looks a bit tailored

This apron is  Sold

Still available.

Have a wonderful Monday!!

Long over due -!!!

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing great on this beautiful , and relaxing Sunday. I actually feel pretty good, and somehow back to normal after the emotional roller-coaster I felt due to what happened in Egypt.  I have an immediate family still living over there , so you can imagine how frantic, and worried I was. Now, things are gradually  beginning to settle down, and everyone over there, as well as myself,  hopeful for a better future for our beloved Egypt.
 Today, my dear readers, I want to share with you a project, I had finished 4 weeks ago, but did not get the chance to post it. Now I can :-) drum rolls.....
It is an apron, and a matching pot holder. Yaaaaa

have a look, and I hope you like it.

Dream with me - # 25 Jan Revolution

Update: Wael Ghonim, an Egyptian activist said "We went looking for Egypt. Luckily, we found her."

what a glorious day to be an Egyptian!

Here is a translation to the song,

dream with me,

of a tomorrow that is coming,

and if it does not come,

we will bring it ourselves.

we will stride upon this path.

our many footsteps will lead us to our dream.

no matter how many times we fall,

We will be able to rise again,

Find the way through the challenge, and def the dark clouds,

we will find our night transformed into a thousand days,

Only if we dream.

dream with me friend,

our footsteps will shorten the distance,

i care about my innocent dream whatever it may be.

It will stand beside us

No matter how long our journey becomes,

our reunion will rally  us toward our dream,

Toward our dream.

Egypt is free

Jubilation

     Mubark steps down, and  Egypt is free at last.
    Power to the people.
    It is a well deserved Victory for the Egyptian people.
    They protested peacefully , with dignity, maturity, and with one   very effective weapon in their hand. 

  The mighty keyboard.

Congratulations
Peace,


-Samya :-)
