Ramadan :: Spruce It Up | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/ramadan-spruce-it-up

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. Ramadan : Spruce It Up. June 25, 2015. July 24, 2015. Two relatively easy makes today that can be used for any occasion. It just so happens I made mine for Ramadan. Firstly, a really easy (probably not going to last all that long) burlap banner. What it loses in longevity it makes up for in easy peasiness in making. We will call this “child friendly” crafting so long as you trust them with permanent marker (I know. Me either). Burlap (or other) fabric. For a ...

Their Room | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/their-room

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. August 13, 2015. August 9, 2015. The boys’ room had been sliding into a bit of a festering pit for a while. There are reasons for this, but probably the main reason, aside from the fact that the midget was an actual destroyer of things, is that I took my eye off the ball as I set it on new horizons. And to be honest, I find it difficult to put all my energy (and money! Into a place where I really don’t want to be. And they genuinely love it. I kept them o...

Ramadan :: Tasbih | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/ramadan-tasbih

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. June 22, 2015. July 24, 2015. For a few years now, since the boys were able to sit still long enough, we’ve been offering. It’s an important part of the day and the boys get ready by grabbing their favourite. Which might involve a full-scale barnyard scrap before the matter is settled, and sit waiting for me to get ready and sit with them. Strong thread – bookbinding thread or similar is ideal. 1 Simply string the beads! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are co...

What Happens When Your Dream Primary School Just Isn't?

http://www.dreamcatching.co.uk/2015/04/what-happens-when-your-dream-primary-school-just-isnt

Capturing the dreamy and not-so-dreamy moments of motherhood, life and love. What Happens When Your Dream Primary School Just Isn’t? You know the drill. We swatted up on all our local schools before we put in the application. Listened carefully and asked all the right questions at the Open Days. Got the gossip from parents in the year above and talked about it at home till we were even boring ourselves. A coveted spot in an Outstanding school. Our first big responsibility as parents had come good. My onl...

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. June 23, 2015. July 24, 2015. Days have flipped upside down somewhat in chez Qalballah. And we are fortunate enough in that we homeschool so that our lives can change to suit our needs like this. I am sorry too for those of you bored to tears by my ramadan posts.

Times Two | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/times-two

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. August 14, 2015. August 9, 2015. One of the ideas I had for the boys’ room redo was these quilt tops. They aren’t actual quilts but simply quilty blankets to cover over the beds and bring a consistency to the room. They are string quilts made up with all the colours that make up the room itself and they became a bit of an obsession. I used Heather Bailey’s Fresh Cut Quilt. To construct, and then it was rather a simple, but monotonous, job after that. Fill in ...

Ignoring the Memo | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/ignoring-the-memo

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. August 17, 2015. August 13, 2015. I’m ignoring the nip in the air. I’m paying no attention to those berries on the trees which are on traffic light green, ready to move up to red then black. I’m not concerned that the maples are showing ever so slightly the beginnings of yellow-green at the very top of their boughs, whilst the cherry trees are being down-right rude by showing actual orange leaves!

Chilly Day Knitting | Q a l b a l l a h

https://qalballah2.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/chilly-day-knitting

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. August 11, 2015. August 9, 2015. Our summer has been a little bit hit and miss, and for a week or so there I thought we’d gone straight to winter. It was nippy and I was nithered, so out came the chunkiest knitting I had – a project sitting in my UFO pile for over a year, sniggering at me, knowing full well how much I regretted starting it. 8221; Yeah, but warm. So picking this up again I managed three lines before needing sedated, and. The UFOs are what I ne...

Homesteading Homeschooling Crafting Family }. July 7, 2015. July 24, 2015. And we are counting down to the end of Ramadan (zooooooooom), EID, (ermergerd EID), and then all the stuff we couldn’t do in Ramadan – like delayed celebrations and road trips!
