    • Handmade puppy toy for a friend’s son

      Posted at 5:03 am by witsandnuts, on August 23, 2009

      Picnik collage1

      Since I wanted to be an important part of the history (heehee) of my friend’s son’s childhood, I attempted to create something which would qualify as one of his firsts.

      After drafting patterns, cutting, stitching, stuffing and so, here comes his first ever personalized toy.

      (I didn’t make the pair of shoes. But I had it included when I did the packaging. I used the notecard which Glenda gifted me, the one with dog illustration.)

      Don’t we just love anything stitched/handled with warmth and care? šŸ˜€

      Snapchat-5703935704258315256 Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.

      Exactly a month ago, as we were sitting on this bench. šŸ•° . . J: Mama, is there any shop you want to check or would you like to buy something from here? . . Me: No. I don’t feel the need to buy anything. I am quite happy about what I have... . . J: Is there anything specific you want to do while we are here? . . Me: Hhhm... I just want to sit and enjoy the moment. . . J: Wow. . . Me: Wait, I just want to take *this photo*, so I’ll have comparative photos in the same spot, of the times we visited Covent Garden together. #Jsjourney #conversationswithJ #lateupload
      The day we said ā€œsee you againā€, ā€œdon’t cry too muchā€, and many other things, culminated with the warmest embrace of the century. #Jsjourney #blessed #graceatwork
      J: Mama, it’s amazing! Well, this and that (blah, blah)... What kind of magic did you do? Me: I prayed. I ALWAYS pray for you. Remember the book, ā€˜The Power of A Praying Parent’? #Jsjourney #thedaybeforemyreturnflight #blessed #grateful #graceatwork
      She’s a wild grass, she’ll survive anywhere. Very proud, I am. #Jsjourney #blessed #graceatwork
      ā€œI’m making tea for us.ā€ ā˜•ļø . . . ā€œBy the way, I got something from the Piazza. It’s the closest thing to kebab. I know you miss Arabic food.ā€ #Jsjourney #FirstteaatJsdorm
      The dreadful email reminder about my return flight came. Hence, savoring every bit, including the crazy weather and unlimited bus rides. #Jsjourney
