Felty Flowers

 Hello Dear Friends.....Happy Rakshabandhan to all of you. I hope you all are having fun enjoying this joyous occasion. Miss Sunshine tied handmade rakhi to her brother. She was so proud that she made it all by herself. Though my little one didn't keep it for long but she was happy that she made it. I was happy too seeing her crafty adventures these days. Making paper planes and boats are her favorite thing to do these days. I finally, took some time off  to write this post today while lil one is napping and miss sunshine is busy with the scissors.

 I can't believe.... I am writing my first post of August. Time is really flying so fast...anyone else? or it just me. I wish it can slow down a little bit. Anyway, these days I am getting addicted to flickr 's  pool of Japanese craft books. This work is inspired by the lovely images I saw there....I love bright colors so I made this tiny tissue cozy with felt and little embroidery. Do take time to check out the link.... you will enjoy it and will get inspired for sure. Have a happy weekend everyone.

  

Blue Purse

Hello there.....how is your summer going so far. I am really enjoying gardening these days, I planted some flowers in my garden and now they are blooming. It is a real pleasure to see budding beauties around you. This week, I tried to finish this small purse and finally its done. I got a pack of felt sheets from a store with lovely bright to make felt flowers with them. I turned one blue felt sheet into a purse and embroidered a little design on the front side and soon will be working on the next one. I will be sharing that project with you too.

See you next week and have a happy weekend. 

Make Over

Hello my dear fellow bloggers...

It is Thursday and here I’m back again…I hope you all are doing well… I’m doing great as it feels good to see so much beauty around these days. Trees are looking plump... filled up with green leaves and flowers. Clear skies and bright sun light and sweet chirping of the birds make days a whole lot better for sure, temperature wise it is 67-68 Fahrenheit/20-21 degree Celsius.

My little fella is the one who is excited the most about the change and wants to go outside all the time....and to tell you the truth I can't resist it myself. It's his birthday this weekend…he is turning two and guess who is excited the most? his big sister (my Miss Sunshine). She has already made the birthday card for him. We as a family are looking forward for all the fun and excitement this weekend.

Now enough said about the weather and the family…Let me get back to the business ;-), As I have told you in my previous post that I am busy giving Miss sunshine fleeces a Make Over. Actually I got a good deal on them so I bought four:)) They were plain looking so I thought why not change them a little bit and make them look more fun. I had some felt left from my previous projects and colors were going perfectly with the fleece and with little bit of this and little bit of that, my job was done.

Here I am sharing two fleeces and the other two will be in my next post. Miss sunshine loved them and I hope you will like it too...

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for appreciating my work.

Radhe Krishna

Hello friends …. I am writing this post while enjoying the bright and warm day here in Connecticut, which is quiet unusual for this time of the year (it’s only mid March). It’s Holi time… Holi, the festival of colors is in this weekend and I am very excited as it is the first big festival of the year for Hindus. I remember how eagerly, I used to wait for the festival season and Holi was my favorite one…. for many reasons. Well it’s a total fun festival and I enjoyed it so much as a kid… buying abeer gulal, filling pichkari with colored water and coloring people is still fresh in my memories and how can I forget eating yummy gujiyaas not only from my mom’s kitchen but from my neighbor’s kitchen too.. Well that was then, today I do enjoy the festival of colors Holi with abeer gulaal but making gujiyaas... is a daunting task for me so I have restricted my self to ladoos only.
Enough said on Holi, its time to tell you about my this week project…its inspired by cute little Ganesha doll I saw while surfing the web, so I thought of giving it a try and I choose to make Krishna and Radha and they turned out to be simply cute, at least in my opinion, what your say on this??? I tried documenting the process step by step; let me know if you have any questions….

Have a happy weekend and Happy Holi to all!!

Felt Flowers

Hello my dear friends…. its time for posting my weekly project. This week I had some fun with felt. It all started with a trip to the US shopping temple (oh yes obviously I mean Wal-Mart) to buy something and but as always bought something else which was not even on my list…Ohh I’m sure this happens to most of us. So as usual I went to the crafting section to see what new goodies have arrived and my eyes landed on the felt packet and my mind goes…hmmm I can make some stuff with it…then I looked at my little sunshine she was wearing her black winter cap….so there I got the idea to personalize the winter hat.

I reached home and all charged up for the project and I told my miss sunshine that I am going to put her initial on this winter hat and glove with felt but she had something else in her mind instead. She wanted pretty flowers on them nothing else but flowers. My husband was listening to all this and he shared a funny story about his childhood days that I guess all of you out there can relate to.

The city of Calcutta and soccer goes hand in hand, if you are brought up in West Bengal you cannot keep yourself out of soccer, if you are a sports loving person. Cricket takes a second spot in this soccer loving state. So he was a soccer enthusiast like any other kid there. He wanted a new t-shirt for his game but couldn’t get one due to the limited resources so as it is said necessity is the mother of invention he turned his old t shirt new and personalized with his markers….but his bad luck… it rained that day and rain wiped off all the maker color leaving some faded patches. Now he looks back and laugh at it …but I guess all of us tried this in one way or another in good old childhood days…well that was past and now it’s time to see some pretty flowers:))

Have a great weekend everyone!!
