Weaving is my new love!

Have we talked about it yet? I guess not.

Yes, weaving is my new found love! I cannot stop thinking about integrating reclaimed items in my weavings. Few days back I started experimenting with fabric weaving and just loved the texture and the thickness of the finished weaving. In the end, I decided to make it into a small clutch and now I love it even more!

I think next time I am going to make a bigger one. Maybe something shaggy, I don't know! There are more weavings in my shop if you would like to have a look ;)

New Venture: An Etsy Shop

Let it snow! Let it snow!

 I know I know , its been a long time, decades maybe?

But, I have came back from a long journey of raising a toddler and moving from Saudi to Emirates to Pakistan to Canada! Finally, we are in Canada! *yay* for landing to a country where my husband feels like home. And for me its a huge transition, from Middle East to North America...woaah!

I have few food posts including our trip to Turkey, the country is under terrorists attack and its so sad. Such a beautiful country and hospitable people <3 May Allah bless them with peace along with other countries - Ameen!

So, here I am on a new venture, opening up an Etsy shop. Since, Etsy is giving 20 free listings to start-up. I believe there is no harm and no loss in free listings :P

I have always loved to make handmade things and in past 2 years I have gotten some good skills on crochet. So, my shop will pretty much comprise on fabric arts; crochet, weaving, tapestry etc! Don't be surprised if you see other stuff too :D

Here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ChicnBliss

Feel free to support me, I don't mind some support and shout outs for my small start-up.

Well, I have been wondering to change my food only blog "The Bun Kabab" to food and lifestyle or food and crafts...hmm? That is still under consideration though.

Hopefully, will see you back soon !
