2.15am
It's been a long day, full of cooking, guests... expected and unexpected.
Stressing over dresses that need to be made within the next couple of days
Making plans to create eid day goodies with friends...
and just the general flurry of activity that always seems to be part of our ramadhan days lately.
This ramadhan hasn't been the spiritual boost that I had planned for, but it's been a blessing in other ways alhamdulillah.
I come towards the end of ramadhan with a clearer vision of who I am and what I want my goals to be for the coming months ahead insha'allah.
Our sheikh said during one of his recent khutbahs that anyone going into ramadhan and coming out of it with the same (bad) character traits had wasted their month of fasting.
And thats a good lesson learned for me this year masha'allah.
Today {cos lets NOT kid ourselves that it's NOT morning already!} is sidelined for sewing...
two eid dresses for two young ladies in my life.
I have to be kind of desperate to get my sewing machine these days, and have put off this particular task for as long as I can, unfortunately there's no more time for procrastination...
a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do..and the machine is coming out!
To be honest I have to keep reminding myself what day it is... we've been pulling all nighters since the last ten nights of ramadhan kicked in,
to get those in our household who choose to pray qiyyam in the masjid out of the house on time,
, and the strain is beginning to tell somewhat...
So I'm off to my pit, to grab a bit of shut eye before they all come traipsing back in with the sound of the first adhan to eat suhoor before shuffling back out again to the sound of muaddhin calling the second insha'allah.
That is, if I can lure myself away from ravelry for five minutes, and the yummy new craft blogs I just found.....
