Winter Days

Hello!! Hope you all are doing well. I love snow for sure but who doesn't? We woke up to this beautiful morning scene last week.Cool weather and white snowy blanket everywhere. My kids love snow and all the fun it brings. I mostly like to go out and witness the magical wonderland quietly. But this time, snowball fight with kids was so much fun. And I realize its good to have that kind of fun with kids on regular basis. I am going to implement that in my life.

     Do you like this yarn? I loved the cute pink color with little bit of neon green shade....

I made these boot topper for my daughter during Christmas break. I loved this ribbed crochet stitch for two reasons first, its super easy to learn  and second, it gives a knitted look which I like a lot. I have tried this stitch with solid gray yarn too and it look more beautiful with solid color. I learned this stitch from my favourite resource" you tube". I am linking the original source for you. It is easier to learn when you watch it...stop anytime you like or go over again. Here is the link to the awesome tutorial. I used the solid yarn on top as I ran out of the base color but its giving a kind of sock look to it. Now, I am thinking about making a scraf for myself using the same stitch. I am kind of obsessed with crocheting these days. Do you remember the easy peasy braided scraf, I made few years ago in the picture?. Here is a link to it as well.

That is all for now, I see you soon here!

Spring Time and Updates

Hello to all of you...thanks for visiting my blog and leaving sweet comments on my previous post. Spring time is fun and I decked up my house last week with little touches of spring beauty....sweet little birdies are my all time favourite ...

 and some more in other corner of the house....

Pretty duct tape is finally put to use... covered the old baby wipe box and plastic container. I printed this image too...idea is to paint something similar but I am enjoying this for now.

Reading a mystery book " The Potted Gardener",  these days, picked it from my local library. I love my library(so thankful for it) and they have enormous collection of books. Doing little changes in my life style too, drinking more water and smoothies and cutting down on tea/coffee these days.... 

and here are the pictures of doily I shared in my previous post ...I had a hard time following the directions and I stopped it after a while. I guess, making a square shape is easier than the round one. More practice is what I need. I am pinning doily patterns these day on my pinterest board. Hopefully, I will be able to make them. It is a work of patience for sure... 

whipped up these last weekend and I am ready to switch to yarn crocheting. Thread crocheting is little difficult to me. That is the summing up of my week. Tell me what you are up to? Is there any new project you are doing or any new interests? Do share your thoughts!   

See you soon,

Happy Weekend

 Hello Friends...how you all are doing? Hope you all get some time to relax after Holi this weekend. Friday came so quick...isn't it? This week was like a blur for me...and I can imagine with Holi prep your lives must be very busy too. Today was bitterly cold here and I decided to snuggle in my bed with my laptop and write this post. March is here...spring will bring its beauty soon. This week, I went out to market... got the usual grocery stuff and some goodies (lot of things in cool spring colours.... so hard to resist them). Beautiful duct tape in the first picture compelled me to buy them...sure you will be seeing me  using them in my projects. I am getting ready for gardening too...got some flower seeds for my backyard garden. My granny crochet pillow finally finished so I can now focus on my other ongoing project. Learning doilie making these days so I included that in the picture too. Tell me what you are up to? Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy & Relax

White Beauty

Hello Friends....look what a wonderful surprise we got yesterday morning....I was thinking, we will get early spring this year, but looks like nature has planned something else...but no complaints to that. Actually, I don't mind little bit of snow like this. Kids were jumping with joy....my older one certainly missed snow since we moved to North Carolina from Connecticut. She was prepared in no time to get out of the house, had some playtime in snow filled patio and younger one tagged along.... 

And I enjoyed watching and clicking their pictures...

and got some extra time to finish my new crochet project...very simple granny squares. I hoarded a lot of yarn last summer, shopping clearance mostly ...its time to put them to good use...

this one is going to be a new cushion cover for my arm chair....picture of finished project will be coming soon..

you can see my color scheme is inspired by this cute birdie.... I love birds and flowers ...

ending this post now with this bright picture...Mr Sun is back and room is filled with cheerful light.  I am off to make a cup of ginger tea...perfect day for sipping tea and enjoying the golden sunlight ...see you soon dear friends... and thanks a lot for your sweet comments on previous post...

Enjoy your day!!
