To Go Bags

This is my 1st sewing project. I made a lunch and medium bag. Fabrics by Amy Butler. They are very pretty. I love Amy Butler, Alexander Henry and Micheal Miller fabrics. I love making bags...will do other type of bags in future. My dream now is to put my handmade bags on Etsy one day....InsyaAllah.

My 2nd project is coming soon. Will post once it's done :).

Camp Mendocino

Last Friday, my family and I went camping with other Muslims from the center that we always go to for prayers. This was our 7th Annual Camping trip. This year we went to Camp Mendocino. It's north of San Francisco and it's about 3 1/2 hours drive from my house. It was such a lovely camp ground. Besides the camp ground, it has a railroad track. The trains goes from Willits - Northspur - Fort Bragg. There's also a river where you can swim and kayaking. They had a photo contest and I won 3rd place :). We really enjoyed the camp. Can't wait to go again in September.

Field Trip

Yesterday, my son's class and other kindergartners class went to Hidden Villa Farm for their field trip. I went with them too coz I was their chaperone. At that farm, they have veges, fruits and herbs garden. They also have animals such as chickens, cows, goats, sheep and pinky. It was a great educational trip and they had lots of fun playing, learning, tasting veges and petting those animals.

The farm is open to public and they have lots of programs for kids and adults. Can view more about the farm here : http://www.hiddenvilla.org

2's Class

Yesterday was Ruqayya's last day of 2's class for year 2008/2009. She really had fun and every week she look forward to attend the class. I still remember the 1st time she attended the class. She was very shy and didn't want to talk to her teacher and play with other kids. Now, she loves to play, talk and not shy anymore. Thank you Ms. Mina for making the class so interesting and fun. Ruqayya and I will definitely miss her and the class.

Spring Program

Yesterday, at my son's school they had a Spring Program. The school is not big...so, they can't do all the shows on the same day. My son's class had to sing 10 songs and also they had to memorize some lines given to them by their teachers. Very impressed and proud of them coz they can sing all 10 songs and memorized their lines by heart. Thanks to their teachers for making it great! Well done Ms. Reuwsaat and Mrs. Moulden!!

Got tag!

This award was given to me by Aishah...thanks.

Now, I'm not sure who to tag. Don't want to tag anybody bolehkan Aishah? Just wanna have fun.

Then I had to find the 6th pic in the 6th pic folder...so, I got this. This is my elder son. His name is Ali Ridha. He was 2 yrs 4 months when the pic was taken. It's our 1st camping trip in the woods at Big Sur, National Park. We love outdoor activities.

It's here!

Ok, the other day I was telling that I might get the Brother CS-6000i. So, it arrived to me last week. The machine is very nice and can do embroideries too. So far...I love it. I already sewed 2 pillow cases. I have few projects in mind but will post it once they're finish :). BTW, this is a Mother's Day gift from hubby....thanks so much, B....love ya!
