I've been busy trying to get ready for the Seattle Iranian Festival at the Seattle Center on June 19th, 2010 by making some Farsi Father's Day cards. What do you think?

Here I go
Okay, I know I'm a little late, but I thought I would hop on this blog wagon and give it a go. Basically I love visiting so many crafts blogs all over the internet, but there are none that I've found that have Arabic crafts. So I've decided to start a craft blog that is geared more towards crafts for people of Arab ethnicity.
I'm very proud of living in this country but I am also equally proud of my Arab heritage and having a background that is different. My mom has always sewn things for us growing up and I took Home Ec in High School and loved the sewing aspect of it. From there I started scrapbook albums (even before it was cool) and went on to get a Art History minor in college. I specilized in African Art because it was just so fascinating to me.
Haven been born in Libya, which is in North Africa, I'd always considered myself an African first. Then 9/11 hit and I came out of the closet as an Arab. I'd always been ashamed of being an Arab since middle school when I had been called a camel jock by a mean bully. But now I'm proud of my heritage and trying to teach people about it in a positive light. I want to show people that I am no differnt then the rest of society. I love to make things with my hands. Fun things for my kids and cool things to sell on my web site (www.acraftyarab.etsy.com). So I hope this blog goes well and people enjoy what I have to say.
