Drawstring bag

Hello dear friends!! I am back to my blogging world ….I haven’t posted in a long time …my apologies. I must admit …I was a bit lazy from last couple of weeks….result…..lot of pending work and no time for blogging….but now it all sorted and I am so glad to be back to catch up with my lovely blogger friends.

So how is summer fun going? Mine is going good so far. Miss sunshine’s school will be closed in few days. I have planned a lot of craft work for this summer holidays…as she love scissors, paper and glue. So we will be making a collage album together. Hopefully my plan will work and there will be less TV time this summer….have to keep them engaged for my sanity:)) enough of my talk now …its time to tell about today’s post. Well it’s a simple and useful drawstring bag… I made couple of them. I love making drawstring pouches as it is easy to make. I am sharing some clicks… hope you like it….

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Make Over-2

It all started with a plain fleece & ticker tape and ended with love and hugs from Miss sunshine. Long story short ...got some great deal on fleeces so bargain hunter in me couldn't resist:)).... lovely colour but plain fleeces so my creative side couldn't resist. And I ended up giving them a make over. This time the idea came from miss sunshine's mind. I asked her what should I do to this fleece...Flowers... Flowers... make some flowers mumma...I looove flowers!! she said instantly.

I liked her idea and made some flowers. I got the tape ($1) from a local store ... it has some purple shades too and was going perfectly with the fleece.... so I decided to give it a try. These flowers are easy to make and take less time. All I did ... cut the tape to a desirable length ... did running stitch to the one side then I pulled the thread to gather it... stitched it in a circle shape.. after couple of layers it was done. I clicked some pictures that will explain the process too. These kind of flowers are great for headbands and hair clips too. So take a look and do let me know what you think...

Have a great weekend eveyone.

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.

Paper Cutting

Hello dear friends ….hope you all are doing well. I am totally amazed how quickly time is passing by…May is here…. holding promises of good weather and fun in bright sun. I am enjoying my surroundings these days…trees are becoming greener and flowers are blooming along with the soothing birds chirping…making my days happy and exciting. Well this whole week my hands were busy giving Miss Sunshine fleeces (got a good deal so I bought four:)) a Make Over….which I will share with you guys once I am done. For today I am sharing the clicks of my paper cutting work. I posted Paper Cutting work long time back…. after that I bought X-Acto knife and doing small pieces of work just for practice. I am really getting addicted to paper cutting and will be posting my pieces in future too…. so here are some…. Hope you like it :))

Have a great weekend everyone.

Recycle Craft

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!!
