This post has been a month in the making! I got this beautiful Qu'ran from .canada in a giveaway and it came in a gorgeous bag with a matching complimentary tasbeeh. So much love and care put into this package and honestly, we have been thoroughly enjoying reciting from this mushaf - the writing is clear and adds to the experience. Thank you .canada! Many du'as coming your way ❤️

The passage of time always involves loss. We just don't realise it because we are looking at the bigger picture - betrayal, theft, death. But every minute that passes is also a minute lost to us forever.

We grieve the larger losses, but forgot to grieve the one slipping away every second. We wish we had done more in a general way, but don't make an effort to do more in a specific way. We remain, despite our resilience and ability to bear heartbreak, ever human.

Hook & Heart has been silent for long time for many reasons - most personal. There has been laughter and tears, joy and more recently immense grief, but now there is also change on the horizon. And perhaps a glimmer of hope as well. That sadness is constant but will soften with time, just as a piece of handmade fabric softens with every wash and every cuddle until it becomes a warm, comfortable, familiar part of your life.

The imminent change means that I will need to find new homes for my yarn ASAP (a loss of its own kind). I'll be posting up photos and prices.* Please DM me and share the info with anyone who might be interested. Every ball has been bought and treasured with love, but I simply cannot take them with me and it saddens me to think I might have to abandon them. If you can find a use for any of them, do get in touch.

Much love,
H&H.
