BEWARE!!!!!!!

Yes!

Beware!!!

I've been gone so long it feels like ages!!!

AND

I'm going to tell you about all that I've done in these past days!

It's going to take time , space, energy

and

lots of patience....

1st

Vaasu's toys and stuff were lying

all around the house

so tried to make something

to gather his stuff at one place.

Found an empty carton and turned it into

a

TOY BOX

.

Covered it with the scrap cloth pieces I had lying around,

glued with home-made glue that my MIL made with flour.

Now Vaasu can keep all his little toys in it!

No more littered around toys

(and slipping on them!)

2nd

The Curtain Project

.

I'd been wanting to make curtains

for the Window in the dining room.

My MIL had a Dupatta without a suit!

(the suit died it's natural death of wear and tear

but the dupatta was as good as new!)

Cut it up and made curtains out of it,

and attached Silk thread tassels at the edge.

Then,

You remember I had started

a table cloth with cross-stitch motifs.....

Finished that.

.

Couldn't even wait to get it pressed.....

Sorry for the crumpled look!

.

.

That finishes up this corner,

At Last!

4th

I'd been wanting to make a Crochet bag for a long time now

And what better than to start with a little

FAT BOTTOM BAG

It's pretty easy to make and

THIS Video on You-tube by Elaine

helped a lot.

It's in Spanish(?)

and in 6 parts but explained pretty well!

The most difficult part was covering the rings with the thread,

my fingers hurt the whole day after!

Not lined yet,

but I hope I'll do it soon.

5th

Just doodling with my shuttles and came up with this motif

Extended it

and put it on satin ribbons.

Oh those Daisy picot flowers were a pain to make!

But they look so sweet!

Tied a red ribbon at one end....

and

what do we have??

?

I didn't know what to make it into....

Bookmark

or

hang on the door

or

Hang in the car!!!!

This has found it's place in my sister's car!

6th

Little tatted flowers.....

what do you do with them?

Spice them up a little and ...

put them on hair clips!

.

Add a Crochet base and beads

.

.

and make them into

RAAKHIS!!!

!

Tomorrow is

RAKSHA-BANDHAN

And I have my own supply of handmade

Raakhis.

And because it's festival time again

can HENNA be behind?

(one hand, the dark one, done by me!)

.

.

You came this far with me?

are you still reading on?

WOW!.

So,

Now That I've showed off the stuff I've made,

(I know I'm a big show-off)

you know what I've been up to these days.

It's like I'm running a FACTORY of some sort!

(and I'm the only worker in it!)

I'm constantly tired and feeling worn out,

BUT

I'm totally addicted!!!

Do you think I need a shrink?

*

I still have so much to do!!!!

See ya soon with the next batch news!

In the meantime

leave some comments for me .....

Please!!!
