Crazy Dots



Hello dear friends...enjoying the Monday morning? Sun has finally come out, after much rain last night so I am happy today..hoping to enjoy a bright day. How was yours Mother's day? Mine went well....I called my mother....got some handmade goodies from Miss sunshine and lot of hugs &kisses from my little boy. I made brownies and enjoyed it with them.... memories of childhood kept flashing inside me. I am enjoying their age and talk... but they are growing so fast. Anyways, last week I made this crazy dot pattern on an empty bottle...I think its looking good with the paper flowers I made. I have seen some gorgeous painted bottles.... I guess on Color Caravan's face book page. I hope to paint some detailed work in near future. But right now I am fine with this one.











These flowers adding a fresh look to my computer table:))....Have a nice day !

Painted Canvas Tote


Hello dear friend !! Friday is here and I am enjoying it. Hope you are doing the same. These days I am reading a very nice book about the folk art of Mexico. I am totally mesmerized by the beautiful and colorful craft work they do. I am going to share the images in my next post...so you can see what I am talking about.
Summer is here...  soon miss sunshine summer holidays will start ....I am planning to make summer break  fun for her with little learning. I am thinking about exploring the world of Origami.  I don't know much about it either...so it will be fun to explore new craft with her. You tube is a great resource. They have some nice kid science projects as well....guess I will  be spending  my time there :)  I will be sharing our crafting adventures with you all  :))

Here I am sharing the images of the little makeover of a canvas bag  I made to gift someone. I got plain canvas bag from store ...painted a floral design and embroidered it with black thread and its done. It was simple and easy project. Hopefully, person receiving will like it ...fingers crossed. Well that's all from Deepi's World today... Have a nice weekend !!

A colorful painting

Hello dear friends ...just decided to make a quick post for this week.  I can't believe that May is here...time is flying real quick. Four months of this year gone already! Weather is turning little more warmer now... I enjoyed my time today making bubbles with my little one, while miss sunshine was at school. I love summer...its bright days and lazy afternoon and lots of fresh lemonade. Enough said about summer ..... I am sharing this project today that I finished a while ago. I love the bright array of colors used here. This work inspired by the Gujarat embroidery work...I tried painting  the design  because that kind of embroidery definitely  requires patience, hard work and time. I decided to paint it and added some sequins later. I love to add some mirror on it but I don't have any so I used sequin as an alternative. Its adding lot of color to my neutral colored wall....here are some clicks...tell me what you think...

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Colour Splash





I am so ready to show you, what I finished last weekend. I turned a plain place mat into a bright and colorful piece. Its easy to do as it requires simple hand sewing.  I bought a place mat from Ikea...loved its deep wine color and  that was the reason behind the purchase. As you know, the idea was to turn it into some thing colorful and festive. I picked the bright felt pieces that reminded me of  Holi . Design inspiration for this  patch work piece came from Suzani pillow work. I saw some lovely images on Google. I totally love the designs and the colors used in the embroidery.  Here is the link ...hope you will enjoy the gorgeous images as I do.

Cute little bag




Creative recycling ...is not only a wonderful thing but it very satisfying to see the end result. I love up-cycling  and that was the idea behind the small bag, I made for miss sunshine. I got my sewing machine last November  and to tell you the truth I don't know much about sewing. So this is my first practice project with my new sewing machine. I hope to get better at it in future...guess i need more research and practice. For this bag, I used gunny sack and old cotton dress of my daughter. I cut a square piece out of the gunny sack covered it with the cotton fabric and  added colorful flowers made out of felt scraps. Here are some pictures...hoping to improve my sewing skills for the new project.

Paper Flower 4







Hello dear friends.... aren't these peachy family of roses pretty? I love the softness of the color and how the delicate petals brings the darker hues in the middle. This is my last flower post for the month of March. I am getting addicted to flower making and spending more time on Pinterest. It's amazing to see so much creative talent out there. These roses made with coffee filter...I colored them in very light shade of orange. The small roses are made with 12 small circles and bigger ones with 20. You can use crepe paper too.... that will look wonderful too. Here are the pictures I took while making it. In April, I will be sharing some of my sewing projects.Hope you all have wonderful weekend!
