Hello Friends...how you all are doing? I am just waiting for weekend to come... as days are getting brighter and warmer... now its fun to take kids out to play. Its thursday today and time to post my weekly project....and this time I turned empty egg trays into colourful hangings. This project was lot of fun to do... as miss sunshine joined me too. It is an easy and fun craft and can be enjoyed with kids ...mine loves to paint so I let her paint and she picked all the bright colours for the project... so suitable for spring spirit and with little this and that it look pretty and colourful... What do you say?




I started with cutting egg trays...as you can see in picture above..






Then add some colour ...





what a change.... looking a lot better now...





I added some designs...just lines and dots..







some beads to make it look more pretty...




Then I attached it to the plastic ring with yarn (cardboard can be used too) and its ready...






Here is another one I made using the same method using single colour...













Hope you like it. I love recycle craft... and its even better when you can enjoy it with your kids. Have a great weekend everyone.

Spring Time

Hello friends ......how you all are doing? I am finally enjoying the bliss of spring. It was lovely today with bright sky, warm sunlight and little bit of cool breeze. Hopefully we will say goodbye to winter jackets in few days... so keeping up the fresh spirit of spring I am here today with a craft idea which is not only easy but fun as well ...so lets not waste time and see how to make it....



First I joined some twigs with string in a diamond shape... then cut some paper leaves and glued it on the shape( I used construction paper for leaves)



Now some flower power:))... I used party streamers as you can see in the picture below... its pretty easy... cut some petals and glue them together in a flower shape....I gave little shading on the white flowers using markers ... just for the colour splash... after all it's a spring craft:))






Looking beautiful isn't it?







I added two little birdies to make it look more fun... and its ready...




So what do you say .....





Have a great weekend Friends!!! see you next Thursday!!

Cherry Blossom


It's spring... it's spring... I'm really glad it's spring ...this is the line Miss Sunshine is singing all the time these days....she can't wait to say good bye to her winter cap and jacket...enough of cold weather for her ...she is so ready to wear her frock and sandals ..and run out to play... but I guess she has to wait for another couple of weeks...

But spring is here and today's post is totally inspired by the spring beauty ...yeah I am talking about Cherry Blossom. The blossoming cherry trees symbolize the arrival of spring.The beauty of cheery blossom trees reminded me of what Emerson has said "Earth laughs in flowers." I was looking some gorgeous images of cherry blossom on the web this week. I couldn't resist the beauty of it... so I decided to give it try and made some flowers and also click some pictures to share with you all :))

































Have a Happy Weekend Everyone!!

Something out of Nothing

Hello my friends,

It is Cricket WORLD CUP, WORLD CUP & WORLD CUP everywhere...OMG, I'm so happy to see Indian team playing in the finals...Good Luck for the finals to men in Blue....

I just can't believe that it's already Thursday and it’s time to publish my weekly post. I would like to ask all of you a question, is it just me or everyone experiencing that the time is flying…

I was working on this project since Monday, finally it’s done. This time I attempted to make something out of nothing....a thing which I was about to throw away but I didn’t. Thank God… I listened to the creative voice inside my head which said make something out of this. So this time I recycled the burlap bag that we got from grocery shopping and the end results have been captured by my trusted camera. I just cut the bag and made some place mats for my kitchen using some old t-shirt, cloth scraps, threads and little imagination. Please have a look and let me know your feedback or input...

A happy heart:))

Have a great weekend eveyone!

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!!
