Cute Kittens

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. It is spring time here. Winter is giving way to summer. So Though pleasant the day temperatures are slowly rising.

Well I am recovering slowly. So there is some progress and hope.

Now it is nearing exam time for all students. Every one is busy, completing the last few lessons and preparing for exams during the next two months. So I am busy 24X7, answering their queries and clearing their doubts.  You know the benefits of the advanced technology. The kids today know how  to use  it to their benefit. So they are connected to one another and teachers like us. I try my best to clear their doubts as soon as possible no matter what the time is. 

Though I am busy with the present students, I need to prepare for the new batch. I am excited as usual, but this time around, I want to introduce new methods of teaching and also teaching aids and see how useful they are to me and my students. There is always scope for improvements, isn't it?

Oh, by the way here are some pics of  three cute kittens. My garden and shed seems to be favorite for the cats to keep their young ones safe and cosy.

We have an old sink lying around. I thought instead of throwing it away, I will use it as a planter. But before I could do so, these little ones, made it as their play ground.

The boldest one entered it to inspect it and found a convenient spot to take a nap. Then slowly other two followed.

Since I was clicking them they were looking up at me. They love the spot and play there. But if I venture any where near them, they just rush off. So I couldn't take more pics.

That is all for now. We are cleaning our house. Lots of  stuff which we don't use at all or use very rarely. So it is time now to throw it all away.

I also need to shape up my garden in next few days as summer is at our door step. Thus time around, we are expecting, blazing heat. So we have to be prepared for that...

Keep an eye on my blog...

Sham Bonsai

Hi friends, Hope you are all doing well.

I am here after a long long time. I have had a lot of things happening which why I could not be in touch with you.

For the past three months I have been in bed most of the time.  I am slowly recovering but it is not easy-can't sit for long and can't type, can't walk much. So I am mostly at home, doing nothing. What pinches me most is that I cannot pursue  any of my crafts. It is frustrating and boring to just lay in bed and do nothing.

Time seems to be flying. How 2017 turned into 2018 I cannot remember. Already February is approaching. 

Like all New years, this year too I had a long list of resolutions, Dos and Don'ts. One of them being be in touch with you and post frequently. But due to my health conditions, I have to give  priority to getting well as soon as possible. Please pray for me. I know you will and your best wishes are always with me. 

Thanks a lot for your support and motivation. You have always been my strength and my motivation.

Somehow today, I decided I will make a start. Well here I am.

Here is a little experiment of mine, I attempted before I fell ill. I call it as sham bonsai, as the plants are not really bonsai. That is what I think. I don't know whether I am correct or not as I don't know the name of the plants.

These are two plants I picked up long back on one of my visits to nursery. I don't know what their name is. May be they are used as hedge plants. I tried searching on net but was not successful. 

If any one of you know please let me know.

When I saw these plants, I realised that I could with a little effort, I could make them look like bonsai. So I left them in their growth posts for a few weeks and then changed them into bonsai trays.

These plants don't require much care - just water, a little bit of nutrients and a little pruning. I have left them in the open where they can get sunlight at least for one hour  daily. 

Here I placed a figurine of Shirdi Sai Baba. It is completely sealed off in an acrylic dome. So no problem with water.

Here are the two small doll houses I found, while cleaning one of the trunk boxes with my collections of dolls. Some of my collection made of wood or fabric was entirely eaten away by termites. Some were damaged beyond repair.

These houses were also completely covered with mud built by termites. I scraped it off, washed in water. You can see they make a perfect match for the plant.

 Here is one more way I tried with the houses and figurine.

Take a closer look at the house. It is made up of thin Decolam sheets glued together. The sheets were damaged, curled and were beyond repair. So, I took some photo graphs and threw them away. I felt sad but then, we have to make way for some new things.

Hope you like them.

I will try my best to post.
