Warli Love

Dear friends...hope you all are doing well. I have become a very lazy blogger from last two months. I finally find a inspiration to paint a new tote bag. I got this canvas bag couple of weeks ago. I first thought, I will crochet some flowers and sew them on this bag for more spring looking tote. But after making few flowers that idea vanished from my mind. I decided to create an ethnic looking tote so I opened my color box and painted a very simple design with little bit of warli , some straight and slanted lines. Colorful beads were added in the end to give it a complete look.

I used acrylic colors for the project.

See you later..with another crafty idea!

This And That

"All things seem possible in May." The energy in the air is infectious... so much going around in the spring. Everything  start looking new and fresh in the spring season. Here are some clicks of the spring break with children few days back.....little fun cooking and finishing some unfinished projects. I loved the cooking part of the vacation....it was fun. With the help of you tube videos we made this colorful rice crispy.....  

...some donuts with sprinkles....not perfect but it was really fun making them.

and finishing this granny crochet pillow .... its DONE finally....

And now it is resting in a chair....waiting for me to sit and relax....take care friends and see you soon! 

A Quick Makeover

Hello there...did you have fun playing Holi ? I enjoyed a lot... esp playing colors with my little boy.. so good to see colored faces and tasting yummy treats. I hope you will enjoy this quick makeover too. Last year, I got these chappals from Gujarat and I love them.They are little worn out now so I thought why not give them a new look. I got this packet of wooden beads from a dollar tree.These are (250 pieces..it's great deal for a dollar) for making bracelets and necklaces. I used my glue gun  to stick them on chappals. And in no time my old chappals have a new look again.

 I picked these two... rest I will use for other project I am working on..and will share that one soon.

See you later

Big Paper Flowers

I can't believe, I am writing my first post for the March ...its march already... huh. Time is flying for sure.Well last week was the sick week for me. I spend most of my time in bed....cough, cold... a gift from change of weather, I guess. Good that its over now....so today went in cleaning, purging and organizing kids bed room. But I did get some time to make these big flowers for their bedroom. I thought its nice for a change... its more spring like. I used construction paper,doily, an old map and some stick from backyard. It was a easy project...I think its lovely and happy looking. Kids were excited looking these big flowers. Here are some pictures I took for you to see... 

Thanks for visiting...

Crochet Pillow

Hello there...lovely colors isn't it ...I finally finished my crochet pillows. Last summer, I started dabbling in crochet world and I absolutely love it. This is my first big crochet project...thanks to you tube tutorials that help a lot beginners like me.

These bright granny squares looks amazing...

This is a new one, I am working on ....with light colors for change.

Paper Flower

It all started with one flower on a sunny afternoon and ended up filling a bucket by the evening. It easy to make these beauties and kind of addicting after making two or three. I made them last year using bright tissue papers.  

But these light colours look pretty too... at this point I thought may be this will look nice as a wreath for front door...

and it ended up like this....well not bad I guess.
