Ramadan started on February 18th and to mark the occasion I stitched a Ramadan crescent moon. It is an important symbol since its sighting marks the beginning (and end) of the holy month.
February 25th is Kuwait's National Day.
And the 26th is Liberation Day.
So those 2 days are always holidays here which is great since the 26th also marks another special occasion ..
my birthday!
This year I turned 60 and finally did something I've wanted to try for awhile -- tatreez on a copy of an old photo. Let me just say, it was no easy task but I'm glad I did it.
Only managed to read 3 books in February but that's because White Malice (which I highly recommend) was 523 pages long and took me about half the month to get through. Also stitched a bookmark -- the main motif is Qalb/Heart and is a design from Ramla in Palestine.
Never imagined that the end of the month (actually March 1st in my part of the world) would go so wrong because of warmongering narcissists. Damn them all!

I don't know why my comment was anonymous - sorry.
Jag är helt tokig i hummus och falafel och åter det ofta. Som frukost, lunch eller middag. På alla möjliga sätt. Vad gäller snarkandet så vet jag hur det är... Jag hade kunnat dammsuga sängen och mitt ex hade ändå inte vaknat.
Hälsningar Sussie
