Improving My Blog

Friends, I have been trying to improve my blog so that those who are visiting my blog can get to see what they want with out any fuss. I have added new pages for -RANGOLI, EMBROIDERY and TUTORIALS, since these seems to be the most popular posts on my blog.

Please do take some time and leave your suggestions for improving my blog. Is there anything annoying or frustrating you when you visit my blog? Are you able to locate easily what you want? What further improvements can I make so that you can easily access posts of my blog.

Content wise is there any thing you want me to write about in may posts. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. 

Since I am better now-though my right arm is still paining-I am going to take up arts and crafts and will try to post regularly. 

Thanks for all your prayers, wishes and your kindness when I was struggling with my life. Many of you-I have not met or know you well. I have known you through your comments or mails.  But still you have all encouraged me, motivated me and stood by me. With out you all, it would have been very difficult for me. I can never forget that. This shows that across the regions, countries, races, cultures and languages, basically the qualities of kindness, love, friendship in short human touch has no barriers. Thanks a lot and God Bless You All. 

I just hope that my posts are useful and helpful to you.

Trendy Ear Rings N Studs - 4

Here are some ear danglers picked up by my niece:

These are made of some metal and coated with glitter. These are light weight and available in different shapes and shades - silver shade with other colours as you can see above. Unfortunately there are no other sizes available, all are big. But those who fancy such bigger ones may go for it as they look very pretty. Since glitter is in fashion these days, they will go well with such dresses too. 

Watch out for more.

Hi There

Hi Friends!  I am trying to rebuild my life after the crisis. At present everything is in chaos.  I need to settle so many issues before I can be free to take up my hobbies or interests or even stick to a routine. 

I am very busy doing all that.-settling financial and personal issues first. Then concentrate on my household issues which I have been neglecting of late. My house needs repairs and renovation. My garden also needs attention as our monsoon is in full swing. This time I want to be self sufficient in many ways. One of them is growing my own veggies or most of them. My health is getting better but still need to go in for some check ups. 

In between all this, I am slowly but steadily organising my stash. Phew a herculean task indeed. Then there are bags and bags of paper cuttings to be sorted. I could only sort and organise a very minuscule part of it. 

In between all these, I am constantly running here and there. But still I am able to pick up some very beautiful and inspiring material for my crafts. I am really dying to work with them. But don't have time. Lots of WIPs and unfinished craft projects to be completed. But my right hand is still troubling me. So cannot work for long periods. 

My computer is also being overhauled. All the data has been removed and saved in external storage, till my computer is cleaned and disinfected, :). So that is one of the reasons, I am not able to post regularly. 

Still watch out for my posts....You may find something new and interesting....

Here are some danglers. I think they are made of fiber. They are light weight, reasonably priced and available in various shapes and colours.

The above were in off-white-black combination and light pink and black combination. The one below is green, white and black combination. 

I think this will be good for teenagers and also any one who wants to be trendy. Also these are for daily wear or casual wear.

Trendy Ear Rings N Studs

Hi friends!

It is monsoon time here with unusually heavy rains. So when it rains, it is better to stay at home to avoid the slushy and waterlogged roads.

I am better now than a few weeks back. But still not yet recovered fully-at least mentally and emotionally. So it does affect my physical health. It is no wonder I am in such a state as it was a very important decision to make. It needed lots of guts and courage. But I did it finally. I thank all my friends and relatives and my family for helping me to cope up with such a situation. But I am at peace now and extremely happy. At least, I don't have to suffer the dilemma of decision making. Now that I have gone ahead and took some decision, there is no looking back - no matter how much it hurts or disappointing it is. 

My right hand is still bothering me. So I am not able to do much. But in order to fight the blues, I went shopping - after all we women love it, it is  therapeutic. Well you will see the results of course though I couldn't shop much.

Have a look at these latest ear studs in the market:

The one above is bottle green colour with golden streaks. The one below is magenta. These are big in size.

I could not see any other colour, but these were available in smaller size and other shapes too. 

Watch out for more in next posts....

Rangoli-269

Hi friends!.  

Hope you are all doing well. I am slowly recovering from my ill health...much better now. But the crisis in my life is still not yet over. Slowly, I am rebuilding my life again, which is very difficult. May take some more weeks to come out of that. So I am not actively posting on my blog.

I thank all my friends and family who are standing by me, praying for me in these difficult times. Thanks a lot, God Bless You all. With out all your support, it would have been very difficult for me.

However, I will try to post as much as I can. Here is one more Rangoli for you. Very simple and easy to draw.

Keep an eye on blog for more ....

Lakshmi Coin Necklace

Remember the Lakshmi Bangles I posted some time back? Well here I am posting them again to jog your memory.

I have been looking for a matching necklace. I had in mind the old traditional pastern of long chains made of thin gold coins with Lakshmi image on them. 

You can see some here:

http://sudhakargoldwork.blogspot.in/2012/03/kasulaperu-lakshmi-harans-designs.html

http://www.jewelorigins.com/search?q=kasulaperu

They are made of gold. At the present cost of gold, I cannot afford it. Anyway, I settled for this one made of one gram gold.

This is a short length chain, just long enough to circle the neck. You can have a closer look of the Lakshmi coins.

Well I would like to get my hands on a long length chain-the traditional one.....

With Sea Shells.....

Here is one more.

Cover

The small conch shells also have holes for stitching. These are actually used in embroidery.    I will get some without these holes so that I can use for this project. I have shown here two sizes of the conch shells. We can just glue them on to the coasters/covers.

Designer Coasters and Cup Covers-1

With Sea Shells....

While organising my stash of craft and hobby supplies, I unearthed some coasters made of fine soft wood. They are off-white in colour. Actually I wanted paint on them. Till now I could not do the project. I always pick up some plain ones so that I can add my own creative mark on them and gift it to my friends and relatives.

Today early in the morning around 3.30 am, I got up feeling very uneasy and breathless. So to quite my mind, I started taking deep breaths and tried to divert my mind somewhere else. In the process I remembered these coasters and some ideas flashed through my mind. Immediately, I reached for my journal(which, I always keep near by), in which I jot down my ideas first as they strike me and scribbled on it. Later on I tried some of my ideas.

Well here is one of them...I tried with sea shells.

 This is for the coaster or cushion for cup/glass.

This is matching cup/glass cover or lid. We can just glue these shells using a good glue. These coaster can be painted first as per the kitchen decor and then the shells can be glued.

Here you can see the holes on the shells. Actually these are meant for embroidery. I just tried them on to see how they look and when actually making one, I will use those with out the holes.

So if you like my idea, have some sea shells with you, or you are lucky one living near sea side, pick some up and try it out.
