Ordinary Weekend

Inspired in seeing Su's linen closet last week at her new home, I decided to tackle mine. Only mine is in a cupboard from my wedding room set. I have left it for far too long at the hands of the maid to do as she pleases. So this is the desired outcome. Big towels separated from the bath towels. My next home renovation will be big in organization.
Comforters, duvet slips and bed covers.....mostly used in kid's and the guest bedroom where this cupboard is
Bedsheets and more bedsheets at the bottom. Hand and face towels tucked in the sides for lack of any place else to store them

Munirah waiting for her ride to her school graduation do. All grown up this little one.

You are 17 only once.
Mimi's beadwork and this necklace I bought from Sudan.
The sleeves. Mimi's idea. Munirah is happy with the dress.
I still remember my holding her for the first time a little over 17 years ago. And the days when I am all there is in her world and she wants me to be with her in everything, including bathing. And now she wants to do everything herself, always arguing with me that she knows what she is doing. I guess as parents we just needed to be in the background supporting her, instead of the old school in me that wants certain things to be done my way. And have faith in her. Well, I definitely did not get the guide book in handling teenagers, that's for sure.
And Munirah, if ever you are reading this, Mama did save a dollar for every mistake Mama made with you, just in case you do need to see a psychiatrist some day....:D
