Purse strings

This is my sister’s dress and string purse that she wore to her registry recently. I really like how the colours and embellishment work together

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside

Posted on September 17, 2013 by myeye1

This is my picture for this week’s theme ‘inside’. Can you guess what it is?

Colourful cupcakes

Posted on September 16, 2013 by myeye1

My sister has become quite talented at making cupcakes, all she needs is to be told what colours you want them in. These bright and colourful cupcakes were made for a henna party recently.

And the best thing is not only do they look great they taste delicious too

This precious gem collection isn’t mine (unfortunatley) but is housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I love the way the stones have been arranged in colour order and seem to be located in a dark secret place, which they kind of are as you’re not allowed to take pictures but I was being a bit sneaky (and before you ask, yes I got told off and had to put my camera away afterwards)

Decorated hands

Its still wedding season for a lot of people so I thought I’d share a photo of a bride’s hands which in typical South Asian and Middle Eastern culture are decorated with Henna.

Wooden stand and crystal beads

This is my dad’s intricately carved wooden Qu’ran stand, which I think is beautiful

Pretty hem

This is the hem from my outfit I wore on Eid. I love the colour combination and detail of the embroidery. Eid al Fitr is the celebration that comes after a month of fasting and I enjoyed the day with my family eating lots of great food and sharing lovely gifts. See my sisters’ blogs Happy Muslim Mama; Harlequin Tea Set and JoJo Jeenius for their accounts of the day
