Happy pongal

Just sharing our rangoli for pongal celebrations...

 

This is my daughter's creation

Behind my silence...

A newcomer to our family.

 We are blessed with a baby girl. The whole family is behind her... I cannot spend much time for my creative works. Though I have something to share with you, I'll update it shortly.

Thank you for your comments and support though I was not very active.

Girls top and pant

I made this top and pant to gift my neighbour's one year old daughter, for her first birthday.

The top is made from silk cotton fabric, the pant is plain pintuck cotton fabric. It is a sleeveless top with back open. I made some flowers using scrapes to embellish the top

Art from waste- Coconut shell painting

My daughter is enjoying her summer holidays. At times she is not interested in her regular games and so we are back to our craft work.

This time it is an art from waste- Coconut shell painting.

It is very simple.

• Take a coconut shell and scrub the fiber around it and make the surface smooth by rubbing it with salt paper.( Children need our help to do this)
• Apply a coat of white paint.
• Let it dry. 

• Draw any designs of your wish and paint it with the colors you love. I have used simple shapes, so that it is easy for my daughter to paint.  
• I have used enamel paint. You can also use fabric paint, if so then, give a coat of clear varnish.
• I have not painted inside, so the bowl can be used as snack bowl.

A new dress

Little busy with some other work and couldn't concentrate much in sewing, blogging or other crafts, but I did some embroidery work. I made this dress for my daughter, after her birthday dress. Hope this suits for this hot summer... 

Sequin work with chain stitch and back stitch. The material is the blouse material which comes along with the saree.
