Eid Mubarak to Muslims around the world who are celebrating Eid-al-Adha which coincides with the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and honours Abraham’s promise to God. In these blessed days may all pilgrims’ prayers and ours be accepted

Sneak peak

I’ve been itching to post some photos of my younger sister’s wedding now it’s all over but I don’t want to spoil the surprise as I know she wants to be the first to showcase the exciting event, so while I wait patiently (well, kind of), here’s a sneak peak of a couple of pics

I know these don’t give much away but hopefully more to come soon

Purple patterns

The texture of these leaves makes them look spongy and soft. I also really like the colour and patterns of purple on green, making them unusual and eye-catching

Beads

I love this collection of beads; the various shapes, colours, sizes and textures. Some are prayer beads (tasbeeh) and others make up jewellery but together the colours really work well

Pink textures

This beautiful flower is growing in our garden at the moment. I don’t know what it’s called but I absolutely love the ombre colours running throughout the petals; from bright pink to the white tips. The texture, shape and depth of each petal makes this flower really stand out and a delight to look at

1920’s bridal shower

Posted on September 8, 2014 by myeye1

You may have wondered where I’ve disappeared to this last week; I haven’t forgotten to post I’ve just been super busy helping with preparations for my younger sister‘s wedding which is coming up fast. In the last couple of weeks my family have been celebrating and having lots of fun with parties and planning for the upcoming event.

My sister-in-law threw a 1920s bridal shower and as we all had fun at the last one we were looking forward to it

The colours to go with the theme were red, white and black and my sister-in-law’s lovely house was the perfect setting

There was also some tasty food to eat; chicken skewers and fruit tarts and my other younger sister brought along a lovely chocolate cake she made

My older sister made a pretty banner to add to the decor and there were also pearls and feathers which looked great. Even the babies wore flapper dresses and puffy dresses that looked cute (my niece pulled the feather out of her hair in this pic)

We played ‘pin the moustach on the groom’ which was fun and I came pretty close to winning but I think the babies enjoyed themselves the most, getting lots of attention and running around together

Next is the Henna (Mehndi) party which will have lots of colour and which we are all really excited about. Pictures coming soon

Dazzling orange

I love how super bright these flowers are, almost makes you want to grab a pair of sunglasses to dim the glare! I also really like the detail in the centre which looks like a mini flower within a larger one

Small and pink

I really like how these seemingly hundreds of tiny pink petals works together to build up this big beautiful flower. I like the texture the petals create and the detail and colour of each and every one of them
