Book Marks-Simple and Easy

Here is one more book mark which is simple and easy to make. This is how I made it.

• I took an orange coloured textured hand made paper strip which I had it in my scrap paper stash.
• folded it into half , punched the flowers on one side.
• punched a hole in the strips, both front and back ones
• added a dark pink coloured hand made paper in between the folds and glued the folds .
• added the flat bottomed pearls
• made a braid from the wool, strung through the punched hole and knotted each end.

That's all. My book mark was ready.

 This is the front side of the book mark

This is the back side.

Materials Used:

Book Marks-Simple and easy

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. It has been a long time since I posted. nothing new in that these days, isn't it? Well I am recovering slowly but steadily. Still can't sit for long periods and can't type much.

But today, I took some time out for myself to post this. Its cloudy but hot and also sultry.

Anyways. here is a simple book mark very easy to make. I made it long back. I had some hand made paper scrap with me. So I decided to use it to make some book marks. One of them was this. 

• I took a long strip of light green coloured hand made paper and folded into half. 
• Punched holes with a puncher on both the layers.
• Stuck those two layers together

• Then I glued some puffy stickers on the folded book mark.

Then I added a coloured string after wards. Sorry I don't have the final picture as I gave it away to one of my little friends.


Materials used:

• Light green coloured hand made paper strip
• Puffy stickers
• Glue
• Single hole puncher
• Coloured string

Will be posting more. so watch out.

Summer Garden

Hello Friends. 

You know that Indian Summers are very hot. The temperatures are unbearable sometimes. The peak period in April and May till mid of June are really difficult to manage. 

If you have a small garden with not much big trees for shade, then it it really difficult to manage the smaller plants in pots. I have many causalities during summer in spite of taking proper precautions.

Well this year, I managed to keep the casualty level to bare minimum.

Here are some pics from my garden this summer:

My favorite Bougainvillea. It starts flowering during summer months and continues almost through out the year, since in South India, we have higher temperatures even in winters. I have now left with two colours pink and orange. I want to buy some more colours this year.

A closer look at the blooms here. They flower profusely, if we give them proper food and water.

Here comes the climbing beauty-creeper of bay pink and white roses. They bloom in bunches if allowed to climb properly onto some base. I had them climb my roof at one time and we had so many beautiful bunches of these roses, that many visitors would purposefully visit my house just to look at them. 

As of now, I have them just up on a pole. This season, I will again let them climb onto my roof.

Well this is the summer queen Jasmine. This is the double flower. It has two to three flowers on upon another in a single flower. This flowers less when compared to the ordinary once. But  the size of the flower and its fragrance is really good.

Here is my mudda Nandivardhanam. It flowers profusely and is used for puja. It gives off a very mild sweet fragrance.

Watch on for more on my blog....
