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!!

Hello Everyone

Can’t believe…March has already begun and weather seems doing better now here in East Coast. I am enjoying the bright day today while writing this post. I am eagerly waiting for the summer, hope it will come soon. I can’t wait to pack all the heavy jackets, coats and boots but I still have to wait for a month or so. My miss sunshine is back to school after her week long vacation, house seems little quieter now. So I decided to write this post because my little one is napping after his lunch. In my previous post I promised to share with you the craft work I did with miss sunshine…

We made a sock doll/ cloth doll together. My mother made me one when I was little. I remember playing with it and asking my mother to make cute little dresses for my doll…. So I thought let’s make one for my little miss sunshine…. its like a perfect little project that I can do with her and I was right… the whole time she was curious and excited that how her doll going to look like ….well all I can say we enjoyed our time together…One important thing I would like to mention here is, Yes you can certainly buy these kind of stuffed toys from the stores but doing it yourself was a great experience and on top you are doing this with your loved ones…

I hope you will like it too and by the way she named her “Star light”. I have attempted to document the process, scroll down and see by your self.

Isn't she CUTE!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
