After doing the research for the Arabian luxury living blog post, I was inspired to inject some gold color into my home color scheme. Since I like to surround myself with fresh flowers during the winter months (check out How to decorate your home for winter for tips on beating winter blues), a gold vase would be the perfect [...]

Salam my friends! As I said on my Facebook page, we had gorgeous 60 degree weather last week which was perfect for a DIY project (apparently we will not have that beautiful weather again till spring, so I am glad that I took advantage of it). After months of working with electronics cutting stencils and setting [...]

As I have mentioned in the new home synchronize announcement post, I have been experimenting with large Islamic calligraphy stencils for my Etsy shop. For those of you not familiar with Islamic calligraphy stencils, I will tell you that they [...]

During this Eid, financially able muslims are required to sacrifice a sheep and share the meat with the poor in remembrance of prophet Ibrahim’s trial to [...]

Remember this framed fabric art grouping that I made from a throw pillow with Palestinian embroidery?  Well, I found a way to turn them into a religious inspiration. Can you guess how? Yep! with my Islamic calligraphy decals. I chose the following Islamic quotes; Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulilah (Thank God), La Illaha [...]
