Ramadan, Ramadan, Ramadan...



Haven't been here for a while, a week of Ramadan has passed, and it hasn't been that hard, last year the weather was hotter so it was harder, but this year is pretty good. and the BEST part is the food looks good every day!
Cinnamon Rolls made by my brother. i know, weird.
So, the camera's battery is empty, and the charger is somewhere else, not lost, just "misplaced", and i can't take decent pictures of my finished crochet stuff, I've made two amigurumi animals, a cat and a teddy bear, and i think that's a big achievement for a newbie. I've also finished a garland for my room, pink and green, and i am working on a set of cup coasters, maybe a gift for somebody. 
Have you been reading anything lately? Yeah, Girls of Riyadh , and i am about to finish it!!!
Unfinished Garland
First amigurumi finished projects 
One thing i want more than anything right now is to go somewhere other than where i am right now. i want to go to Italy, or France, or New York, you know the normal far away dream-lands for anyone who's never been on more than a 4-hour flight.

Crochet Love ♥


This was a craft suggested in my school, to sort of finish off the year, i got addicted. I made this because i was bored, i really had no project in mind at all. I started off with motifs and braids, and really enjoyed it.
I learned nothing about crochet in school, i learned from a book called 150 Crochet Trims, it's REALLY awesome, it has practically everything for a beginner, there's a refresher course for the basic stitches and skills.

For the month that's left from summer, i'm taking on all kinds of crafts that i can finish, the things that i can actually get something useful out of, so i discovered Craft Gawker, i don't know if it's a website that has an iPhone app, or an iPhone app that has a website, but it's REALLY awesome. It sort of gets you to DIY tutorials for many different awesome things. I'll post anything i achieve here, i hope i do.

So far I've only made covers for phones and iPods and books, and small teeny-tiny bags, some gifts for my mom and friends and bookmarks, believe it or not, that was the thing i was excited about most, bookmarks, i love this whole crafts thing.
