Assalamu Alaikum everyone!
Firstly, we hope you all had a lovely Eid and that you all enjoyed yourselves, insha'Allah. We helped our Mum make a nice, yummy breakfast spread, enjoyed our simple handmade gifts and played charades as a family, masha'Allah.
In todays post we will be showing you the handmade gifts we received. So let's begin!
Sumayyah made lots of things, masha'Allah. She made our Mum and Dad these cute little hearts from felt...
...a painting with Zainab for our Dad...
...these adorable key rings for Hanifah, Maryam and Zainab...
...and an abstract cheetah drawing for Maryam, masha'Allah.
We love her creative side!
Our Mum made us all something too. She made Hanifah and Maryam these beautiful "explosion" boxes!
Words can't describe how beautiful they are, masha'Allah!
We love the different patterned cards.
And zines for Zainab and Sumayyah.
Zainab's is a unique, geometric-shaped one...
...and Sumayyah's is the square one.
And lastly... this present we all worked on (Hanifah, Maryam, Zainab and our Mum). It took half a month of continuous plotting, writing, creating, drawing, painting, designing, and much more, subhana'Allah!!!
But when it was finished we all couldn't wait for Eid to show Sumayyah her gift.
Alhamdulillah when she got it she was very very happy. It's the sequel to an original story we wrote two Ramadans ago. You can click here to see the first book. It is a spin off of a popular fairy-tale, can you guess which one?
Oh, we forgot to mention, Maryam started baking three days before Eid to gift us all with Brownies, Welsh Cakes, Gingerbread and a Fruit Cake. Masha'Allah they were all delicious!
Well that is all we have for this week. We would love to know what little things you did to make your Eid special. May Allah keep you all safe and in good health, Ameen.
Until next Friday, insha'Allah.
Love and wasalaam,
Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu!
ReplyDeleteMasha'Allaah all of your handmade Eid gifts look so astonishing!
We love your mum's explosion boxes, they've turned out so pretty and cute, Masha'Allaah!
The book for Sumayyah looks amazing, we love the drawing, it looks as if it's printed!
Did your mum illustrate the book cover or you'll helped her with the illustration?
Also, Sumayyah's heart felt plushies looks very cute MashaAllah!
You'll are very creative MashaAllaah! We really like the idea of making handmade gifts for eid instead of shop - bought gifts,it's more appreciative!
Love,
H and K
Waalaikum assalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
DeleteYes, we definitely agree! Handmade gifts are always best because the effort, time and love that goes into making them is what counts, masha'Allah.
About the book cover illustration, we all discussed many different angles to place the Tower, Susu and the long golden hair. Then our Mum came up with the illustration above and it was lovely masha'Allah.
Hanifah had the idea to change the seasons, which was great masha'Allah. So if you saw the first book, it was set in Summer time and this one in Autumn.
Love,
Maryam
