Card Making Kits-2

Remember in one of my posts I told you about Card Making Kits? The fist card was here:


Well here is the second card. 


I took only the pink card stock and the white envelope from the kit. The rest all I added on my from my stash. 

I wanted this card to be very simple. So I started by attaching some matching plaid tape and then the flower shaped buttons. 


Then I felt this was too simple and ended up adding some wooden butterfly buttons. Actually I have a variety of buttons, sequins, beads and such things in various materials as I also indulge in hand embroidery. 

Further I added some pieces of the same plaid tape onto the envelope.


I have not added any sentiment. I will when I have to give it away. I think this will be fine for a Birthday, Thank You, Miss You or Sorry Card. 

What do you think?. 

I have many cards in various stages of progress. I am working on them. Stating from this month, I have Birthdays and many other occasions lined up. So I am preparing them in advance. I can only post, after I give away the cards or else there will be no surprise.

But watch out for more cards.....

Friday Free Patterns

Friends I am reviving this post. I have lots of patterns to share with you. The only problem is I have pencil sketches, which need to be inked with black ink, so that you may get a crisp picture when you take a print out. 

I have been promising since long to post these. But I wanted to try them out and give you my version of stitched design too. Any ways from this week I will again post patterns every week. 

This weeks pattern is here:

This is a small design embroidered on a hanky. The base fabric is white coloured pure cotton fabric.


I marked the design with a pencil directly on to the cloth. 
 After finishing my embroidery, I drew the pattern on paper for you.


Stitches used were: Bullion, Stem, Lazy Daisy (Single Chain Stitch), Chinese Knot.

I have used mostly 2 or 3 strands of 6 stranded cotton floss. For the flower in the center done with Chinese knots, I have used all six strands.

This pattern can be used on Hand kerchiefs, blouses, children's frocks, kurtis, saris, hand and bath towels, table linen, kitchen linen and bed linen. 

Hope you like it.

Golden Opportunity


Do you like reading Romance? I just love reading Romances. If you get a romance with intrigue also then? I would definitely love it.

Friends, this is really a golden opportunity for you. Today I am sharing the link to Freebie being given away by Goldenhaze

Goldenhaze is the pen name of the author and my sister Anu Ram who is a doctorate in Business Management and writes fiction for hobby. Her first novel The Mirage, was set in the back drop of Rajasthan and highlighted the theme of women empowerment, woven into romance and intrigue. 

The sequel of the Miirage, The Pursuit was again a romantic thriller which was much appreciated. Goldenhaze has also written several novels including The Masquerade, An Evening with U, The WhisperValley and Vaishali.





Known for the variety in her story settings, and the usage of local flavors and languages, with many ongoing works of her on her website, like A Dialogue in the Dark, The Inexplicable Attraction and the Contrivance.

Currently Goldenhaze is working on the launch of a new stream of intense romance, under the Destiny series, with Deepthimaan- a character she created in Mirage as the lead, who also happens to be the pivotal character in her much acclaimed novel Destiny U&ME.

Being her sister, I had the opportunity not only to read her works but also discuss the twists and turns of her plots. I loved all of them. The way she writes is amazing. So here is an opportunity for you to read one of the books for FREE:
