I know that the following snaps have not touched the photographic height; still I feel you would enjoy the beating of life. I have to shoot down my passion with this mobile camera which is not able to activate in the evening.
As there was knock on out main gate (due to some fault the bell is not able to rung). I went out in the front yard to answer the knock …….then after the necessary deal with the handyman.He came in with this board that i ordered to make for me.
wooden board to stack puff quilts
I decided to arrange the washed-and- dry articles of clothing’s ...I had my mobile with me and therefore couldn't prohibit my passion from taking a few snaps. The blinding heat of the sun made my feet play a touch-and –lift game on the sun burnt floor of the verandah. I had no footwear and therefore I continued to jib wildly.
These beautiful Marigoldson wall, the two in a pot, get my niece’s fond splashes at everyday evening when she returns from her college.
She applies vermicampost to the soil, and tries to take technical care to grow them. Sometimes, she pour on them the artificial rain with the big pipe’s nozzle. The moment she caresses the saplings, they really spring into blossoms of life.
Have a look at Jatropha flowers, the dancing queens in rosy pink. They seem to dance with our neighbour’s Jatrophaflowers throw the wall. They seem to be very much annoyed nowadays at the mischievous climbing of the nectar-greedy ants.
My son’s pants and shirt’s and my mom’s Chunnis–resting with the warmth of peace. Far away in the next corner are seen the marigolds- diminishing the glory of the melting yellow of the sun.
I’ve recently been shop for the silk I will make my Shalwar kameez suit out of this material I spent a fair amount of money on this material. HERE....so that i can easily handle the material during sewing..... I love both the Silk material – silk dupioni and silk shantung. These gorgeous materials make the most stunningly elegant outfits, and they are just perfect for special occasion ensembles. But recently I’ve heard some people wondering, “What’s the difference between dupioni and shantung, anyhow?”
I’ll admit that the two are so closely related that it is sometimes tricky to tell the difference, but you can usually make an educated guess if you know the following information:
Silk Dupioni is thicker, has more slubs, and the general texture is almost rustic. It has recently gained more favor for formal wear and party attire, though in previous years it has been considered not quite as formal as shantung because of its rougher appearance.
Silk Shantung is thinner (though it still has a crisp feel), and has much smaller and fewer slubs. This lustrous silk is perfect for almost any type of suit, and when viewed from a distance you may not be able to distinguish any texture at all. You can use shantung for nearly any historic period as well, from pre Independence, to After 1947, and the 1950s (my favorite!).
You can see more comparison photos and read the full article here.
I bought this silk fabric in three piece.....a few days back
the first one is for Chunni and the second one is for s Shalwar the third one with flowers is for kameez ...right!
this is a laborious work to sit and sew..........i am fallowing my hobby of sewing after alllllloooooooooonggggggggg gappppppppp right!!!
So it will took some time to be habitual in this crafty thing!!!!!any how sewing in within my genetic make up i will fill the gap period into a perfect sewing master !!!!!
I was watching television the other day and I heard, the lines
of the song “Hamen un raahon par chalna hai” which has been
always inspiration in my hardand dark days. It’s been years since I recited it. I cannot
believe I am hearing this song again.
This was a song taught to me in my middle school at Tosham, distt
Bhiwani, Haryana
(6th standard) by my schoolteacher. I learnt
the song having no idea about its background – I did not even know it was a
movie song !!!
I had completely forgotten about it.
I forgot the lyrics to it and forgot about it all together until someone was
singing it on TV earlier this week.
Someone recite few lines of this song in the context of
“Excelsior” and “never give up” attitude. While I was listening I could
actually feel my blood surge and I had goose bumps. Listening to it after all
these years, there are tears in my eyes. I thought to myself, Gosh! This is the
very song, I learnt in my school days along with my friends, our music teacher
Mrs Vishnu Devi the badi bahinjithe “badi bahinji” was used
to determine the age factor. Mrs.Vishnu Devi was oldest among the OTHER
teacher’s in school. I actually loved music especially “instrumental” I love
the way she taught us talas which is basis of rhymes in Indian classical music.
I still remember talaas; jhaptaal, ektaal….and various others that we learnt in
school days. Since I was so touched by this song, and in reality till date I
wasn’t aware that this WAS A MOVE song, as I stated earlier. Any now I decided
that I would share it with you. When I learnt it in my elementary school days,
IT didn’t make much sense to me those days. It was just the song we had to
learn to recite for the school functions. As I grow, in my hard times, in my
failures, obstacles, problems, I always used to recite “Hamen un raahon
par chalna hai jahaan girnaa aur sambhalnaa hai”. really, those were
the days of idealism in India, when we loved all these patriotic and idealistic
songs.
Gone
are the days of…..!! I’m more then 50 now but after I heard it on TV, I
actually scouted it for net and realized and found out that, it’s from movie
Masoom of 1960. The movie “Masoom” (1960) is known for the immortal song “Naani
teri morni ko mor le gaye”.This one is lesser known song from this movie. This
song is sung by Subir Sen, Aarti Mukherji and chorus. Raja Mehdi ali Khan is
the lyricist and Robin Mukherji is the music director.
This
song is picturised on Manmohan Krishna, Honey Irani and others.
It’s
a nice song and motivational. I finally managed to get it and have it pasted
and uploaded its Video
For all the times you feel aback and like giving up, please do
spend a few seconds to ponder on this song. I’m sure it’ll make a
difference…Enjoy!!! xoxo
The coolness and soothing in weather due to yesterday’s rain didn’t last long and with my little niece off to her exams until evening there was only one thing to do…crochet little projects
I made three bookmarks to give one away to my niece’s lovely friend.This was really a fun and quick project to do during a comfortable weather and moments. Hoping these will spur reading of the owners.
My niece earned the first one of the crocheted bookmark and another the fan shaped one, for taking it over to her friend, her family lives just 100 feet away to our house. She had her book mark the little one for chemistry book which she needs frequently.
Previously when I made this one in self designed colour, my daughter came in from Delhi. She was so delighted for its beauty and of course it’s her authentic need too. She reads a lottttttttttttt. She is a writer.
She said “mummy you should be a professional crocheter, you would make lots of money (extra money from leisure activities).” Bless her, she’s serious. That is the magical thing about making little things for your children. It doesn’t matter if they are blurry, not perfect or little bit. Your children will always think your creations are the best.
I will rant about …may be in coming post about …..a growing epidemic that not many people are even aware about (as described by my librarian friend). As per my friend many…mannnnnnnnnnnnny of readers came in this library to read are not using proper bookmarks when reading book!!
Yes, I know that is very hard to believe but I myself have seen it with my own eyes. Some people leave behind the library receipt, doctor appointment slips, and papers with names/phone numbers on them, invitation cards, a blank check, photographs, even a candy wrapper.
And some people actually fold the pages of the book instead of using any kind of bookmark! Oh the horror!!!!
"The
sun! Mama!!! The sun is shining!!!", rehana screams of
delight. And yes, she is right. The sun came out. For a little while.
Like a moment. And I could see hope. Hope that there is a life after this long,
dreadful, grey, rainy and little bit cold weather.
I quietly enjoyed my latest issue of WE at the kitchen table with the sun and
the GHURMA making me cozy and warm.
Outside my son was washing his car . The busy bees were buzzing around the few
spring flowers that has appeared.
I started on a new baby quilt. The squares are now waiting to be pieced,
catching the beautiful light in my window.
The sun came out. For a little while... And the world changed. I saw the light.
I am now hoping to see it again soon as it made me feel so good. Cross
fingers...
I made this toothbrush &cream holder last week. I just quiet lazy,bored and wanted to make something small and interesting (actually I was in need of separate holder for my friend and guest ) to “refresh” my mind while working on my other time consuming projects…….
i cut an empty plastic bottle and grabbed some yarn pieces with pony crochet hook ,did some stitches............
made a circle of the size of the bottle and the big petals to hold the bottle .........some shell stitches around with big spaces .......Finally I am Done!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!I am exploring some more Burlap sac decoration items.........Burlap is actually Hessian (cloth) in India previously all the burlap grain sacs were used to fill the crops of grains…when I was a kid …..still remember lots lllloooooooooooootttttts of burlop sacs filled up with grains mostly bajra and Grams which was grown in our rainfed sandy area…………..i remember we used to play hide and seek in between filled up sacs of grain……….they may stay their months together in the yard of our mansion ..waiting for grain dealer to transport them in their godownsi.e. WarehousesThey usually store the grains their and create artificial shortages and make money. Poor farmers! Pity on farmers! And shame for Businessmen /middle men who create money creating false deficiency !Anyhow! Here is my half empty grain sac that is Burlap sac mom is using for several utility items out of it………..here are some and doing on these pieces with prints on them ………..beading on fringes………..let see.
