Rangoli-219

Diwali Special

Here is a very simple and easy Rangoli.. 9 to 1 straight dots. You can make it bigger by adding blocks on all sides or opposite sides as you like. This is at the special request of little ones(girls), who want to try their hand at Rangoli this Diwali. 

I hope they will be able to draw this very easily.

Organising Stash

Hi friends. Now that some of the renovation work has been completed, I am slowly trying to organise my things. But with busy work schedule and heavy downpour here in the past week, I could just group together some of my stash. Before renovation, I just stuffed them  in just whatever I could get. Now I need to organise them properly.

One major problem I am facing is the storage containers. It is difficult to get one exactly how I need, within my budget , that can hold all my stash and occupy less space. I feel that is almost impossible. My search is on. Heavy rains forced me to postpone my shopping trip for this. 

As of now, I am just making most of the containers/storage I have as you can see...

I have some plastic boxes, in which I store my yarn, laces, ribbons, kundans and beads etc. They are good as they keep dust out. I also have some cardboard boxes, which I am still holding on till I find some good storage solutions.

 These look colourful, but are not air tight. So there is the problem of dust seeping in. 

Here is how I stored some of my colouring pens and pencils in a plastic container. I still have lots of paints in bottles and tubes, brushes, pens and pencils, which I need to store. For now, I have only kept these ones handy, which I use regularly.

My search is on, for some smart storage solutions. But I have to wait till the festival of Diwali is over perhaps to shop leisurely. 

I have still my embroidery, kits and other stash, wooden beads, woolen yarn and much more. I also need to separate my yarn/floss/threads for tatting, embroidery and crochet....Still lots to do....

Any smart solutions? Your suggestions are welcome please.
