Since my saga with the aprons is all done and finished, I’ll update my project for the month of Dec. I already hinted that it has to do with giving & charity. Well here it is. I have decided to sew and donate T-Shirts dresses. Initially I had planned to make these dresses and donate …
I was finally able to finish the photo shoot…:) of the aprons with the help of my two friends. They graciously volunteered to do the assignment. Thank you guys!!!!! Here are the images. I hope you have as much fun viewing them, as I had making them. All the above aprons have cotton blend fabric …
Okay…now that all the festive occasions are over, it is time to reveal my project for the month of December. I am really, really excited about this project. Since this time of the year is all about giving, I thought about doing a something that involves words like ‘Charity & Donation’. I still have to …
Okay, so I have finished sewing nine aprons. Not bad for 15 days of work. I will be posting pictures of them in the next couple of days as right now I don’t have the time. I am really, really busy with all the Diwali preparations. As for my tenth apron, I have run out …
My project for this month is going to be aprons. Not one but ten. No, I am not crazy. Sometimes I just like to challenge myself. I have about 15 days to finish 10 aprons…Let me see if I can do it.
Before I give any update about my cross stitch project, I have to tell you all about my ‘Cafe Curtain Adventures’. Since I added the back-splash in my kitchen, the existing curtain started looking like a rag. Thus started my adventure. What started as a one day project eventually ended up with three days’ worth …
Few weeks back our local library held a ‘Decorate The Surf Board’ contest. To keep my 8 yr old busy I told her to participate. She started with lot of enthusiasm, but slowly lost interest. In order to motivate her I promised her, that if she completes and submits her artwork on time, I will …
Few years back one of my English Professor had asked me if I was a perfectionist. In my mind at that time I had laughed it off. I felt I was far from being a perfectionist. I lacked the discipline and like everything else in life, being perfect is an acquired art…. Now, I realize …
Finally I got back the wall decor. I must say it looks good. Taking a photo of it however was a bit difficult. Even with the flash off, I got some light bouncing off the mirror pieces… Anyway here it is… Note: Even though my husband did not build me a Sheesh Mahal or for …
I finally gave my wall decor for framing at ARTS & FRAMES in East Windsor. The Sales Associate was extremely helpful and suggested variety of options. Of course it has set me back by about $200. He told me it will be ready in 6 – 10 days….Still waiting. Since I am so impatient I …
Currently I am shopping around for frames for my Sheesh Mahal wall decor. I did not realize how expensive framing can be here.. The quotes I am getting are simply ridiculous. Lets just say….for that price, I can easily buy a 30″ flat screen TV…OMG...What was I thinking??? Well, anyway looks like I will be …
Look at what I have done. Messed it up…no just kidding… I finally finished grouting the whole thing yesterday. Took me about 4 hours. I have to allow the grout to set for 48 hrs and then seal it with a grout sealer. Then I have to paint the borders and if possible next week …
Finally I finished gluing all the pieces on to the board. I have to wait 24 hrs for them to set in. Tomorrow I will begin the process of cleaning and grouting. I think I will be done with this project by this weekend.
Since last couple of weeks I have been on the ‘Mom & Homemaker’ mode completely. I have been overly and exhaustively busy. Here are some of the activities I have been busy with: Since the start of spring my soccer mom duties have officially started. Soccer practices, games, swimming and hindi classes have pretty much …
