Party Decoration - Tissue paper Pom Pom Flowers

We decided to celebrate DS's birthday party just one day before and I am hardly left with time to go buy decoration items amidst all the dinner arrangements and packing return gifts. Hence I decided on using the scrap items for decoration which I already had lying waste for years. Kept the decoration very simple with a few ribbons and photo frames. However I felt the center portion was very empty and filled it up using these tissue paper pom pom flowers. Usually these pom pom flowers may be used as a hanging centerpieces but I just used half part of it and stuck to the wall to complete the decoration.
Here's the picture:

Top Makeover for a photo session

We were planning for a photo session at GlamourShots and I picked up three attires for all three of us.  I wanted to have the matching attires for each one of us. DH and DS have their traditional attires that exactly match together. I do not have anything that even nearly matches theirs. I remember I had an old top which I havent used for years but saved it just because I like it very much. It occured to me that I can makeover that top to match with that of DH and DS's. I just had a few hours before the photo session and I managed to embroider the top with the color that goes well. The final photo came out wonderful.

Dress Makeover

My DS had a white kurta which he wore a no.of times and I wanted to have something new for him but couldnt manage to get one . So I decided on a makeover of the old one for a new look. I embroidered the kurta at random places while picking up the Indian flag colors to appear patriotic.
