I have been trying to spend less time on the computer. I got into the farmville app on facebook, and that can really eat up a lot of time!
Also, I need to get back into studying Islam. I used to be much better about that. I feel so sad lately, but I read some Quran today, and I felt better.
My husband is really busy and I hardly ever see him lately...I feel really lonely, my friends are busy too, with work or their family and kids, so I don't get to see them too often.
And this swine flu virus has me really paranoid. I hope to get the vaccine for myself and my husband (kids got their first dose, alhumdulilah, may Allah protect them from this virus) soon, but they're still only giving it to certain risk groups. Inshallah a few more weeks and they'll have more vaccine.
I did some more work on my quilt this evening. It's so bad, the seams don't line up and it looks so sloppy. I've never made one before so I have that excuse!
Over the weekend I made a neck scarf that I'll probably give away to someone, I don't wear them, but I have to much yarn I need to use up! I hate having all this stuff...
I'm working on getting my house all clean and sparkly for when my father in law comes to visit.
I bought some satin fabric, chocolate brown and pumpkin orange. I wanted to make a pretty, fancy abaya for Eid's and special occasions. I want to make an a-line abaya with the brown fabric, and with the orange I want to make insets on the sleeves and line the lower half of the sleeves with it. And I want to get some narrow brown ribbon to make ties so the insets are tied closed and the orange isn't all brightly out there in everyone's face! In my head, it looks really pretty. Inshallah it comes out the way I want.
I'm working on another daily abaya, it's almost finished, I'll post a picture when it's done!
Well, I'm off to pray and go to bed.
