Iftaar get together…

I love having a reason to celebrate and having huge family get togethers... … This was our annual Iftaar party… Do you remember seeing last years?? My brother was in town, so there was lots & lots of food.... I missed him truck loads this time... :-(

You must see pics of our Iftaar party last year, my brother cooked all the food and we had loads of fun....




Don’t miss, the latest addition to hubby’s trophy collection. It will be here for a few days till I get fed up of seeing it… *grins*





The bare walls are annoying… isn’t it??? I’ll get to them soon…



The mood is always set with a few candles.. .... And we had some basic food….






The awesomest brownies..





They were delicious…





The chillies (oh gosh!!)





Then my favourite…





All together, an evening filled with food, brownies, tarts, ice-creams, a few songs, dances and pictionary. Hope you all are having a great weekend…

Project 1 – the happy room … cont…

I am so very proud of these girls… I won't take any credit for this wall at all… It was completely Ramya (my creative genius’) idea…



These three made the stencils on their own… and then decided on the colours.. and went ahead and painted this… Its simply gorgeous!!

There are a total of 6 ballerinas… here is one of them for you..


So much attention to detail… that the ballet tutus and shoes were painted a darker colour..


They were finished with glitter… and this one being the star performer had extra glitter to look glamorous.. Hope you’ve seen my plans for this room, the happy cabinet and the butterfly wall… I’ll soon show you how it looks altogether!!


I simply love pink.


There was a lot of mess, a lot of paint, a lot of colour.. above all… loads & loads of love!! The girls room is my favourite room in the house.. Thats where I spend most of my time (after work).... from homework, to dancing, to arts & crafts... to falling off to sleep with them... Memories are made of these... ballerinas, butterflies... fairies and princesses... smiles & hugs!!
