hello to all...I updating my blog post after a really long time. Summer this year was fun and crazy busy with kids. But I am feeling happy that I am finally back to blogging again. Kids will be back to school next week. Everything is getting into order now, life will be again back to routine. Kids are excited going back to school so am I:).....I sure will have some time for me now.  

I have done some crochet things that I am going to share soon .Today I am sharing some fun play dough creations I made yesterday. I have a little four year old, who likes to make play dough candies for me. So yesterday I made some play dough cuties...they look so cute and I had fun making them. It reminded me of  childhood days I used to make small figures of  wheat dough..but color of play dough really add fun to it. So check out these cuties...

Jewelry making in July

Its first day of July, I wonder how swiftly the time passes. With kids at home all the time it seems to fly in a blink. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Me and my daughter had fun going to a craft store and picking up some craft items which we are going to show here. I picked more jewelry related items...I never thought of making it before ...but I got interested in it when my daughter picked a mixed bead box last summer....now I am making few pieces for myself. Remember this post where I have used wooden beads on a sandal...I made these two pieces of jewelry pieces using the left over beads and adding some metallic ones.....I guess they will look good with my Indian dresses. I love the green one...looks so fresh....

Have a wonderful week friends.

Cooking

Red, soft and delicious Strawberries yum yum...I love fruits esp berries... all of them. With summer comes the berries in the market. I usually make smoothies with berries or eat them with my morning cereal. Last week, I tried something new...  I found a easy strawberry jam recipe ( for a small batch) on you tube... I gave it a try and result you can see in the picture. Here is the link to the recipe..  

And baked two batches of Biscotti for my tea time :)).When it comes to baking, I always use the recipe from Joy Of Baking...its really helpful for beginner like me. Here is the link for Biscotti

 
And I cannot end this post without sharing these two lovely pictures ...flowers and plants are growing well this summer...lovely colors..isn't it?  

                                            Have a Happy Day  Friends!

Bracelet Making

Hello friends ...hope you all are doing well. It has been a long time that I have posted here on this blog. Today I am sharing few clicks of bracelets I made last weekend. I have been collecting beads from quite some time now. Last week, I tried to make some pieces. I am showing the bracelets on this post, in my next post I am going to share the rest of them....here are the pics...

I love chunky beads and I have combined them with wooden colorful beads which I am going to post later...For this bracelet I have recycled the old bracelet ...just replaced the beads as you can see here

Use any pattern you like...and once you are bored simply change the beads....

Warli Love

Dear friends...hope you all are doing well. I have become a very lazy blogger from last two months. I finally find a inspiration to paint a new tote bag. I got this canvas bag couple of weeks ago. I first thought, I will crochet some flowers and sew them on this bag for more spring looking tote. But after making few flowers that idea vanished from my mind. I decided to create an ethnic looking tote so I opened my color box and painted a very simple design with little bit of warli , some straight and slanted lines. Colorful beads were added in the end to give it a complete look.

 To know more about Warli Art go to this link here.....you will see some wonderful ideas to use beautiful folk art in various form.

I used acrylic colors for the project.

See you later..with another crafty idea!

"All things seem possible in May." The energy in the air is infectious... so much going around in the spring. Everything  start looking new and fresh in the spring season. Here are some clicks of the spring break with children few days back.....little fun cooking and finishing some unfinished projects. I loved the cooking part of the vacation....it was fun. With the help of you tube videos we made this colorful rice crispy.....  

...some donuts with sprinkles....not perfect but it was really fun making them.

and finishing this granny crochet pillow .... its DONE finally....

And now it is resting in a chair....waiting for me to sit and relax....take care friends and see you soon!
