Guru Purnima,macrame.

This was the day when Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa – author of the Mahabharata – was born to sage Parashara and a fisherman's daughter Satyavati; thus this day is also celebrated as Vyasa Purnima.^[5]Veda Vyasa did yeoman service to the cause of Vedic studies by gathering all the Vedic hymns extant during his times, dividing them into four parts based on their use in the sacrificial rites, and teaching them to his four chief disciples – Paila, Vaisampayana, Jaimini and Sumantu. It was this dividing and editing that earned him the honorific "Vyasa" (vyas = to edit, to divide). "He divided the Holy Veda into four, namely Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. The histories and the Puranas are said to be the fifth Veda."

Divya's Cooking Journey: Guru Purnima:

Macrame planter 

When I was little, in school, doing macramé planters with rope. A few days ago I remembered them and I started thinking that I could try.

Yesterday I was shopping and saw in a store a roll of cotton rope that could serve, so I bought it this afternoon and I began to make the planter and here it is.

The truth is that the development has not been easy: 

First, the measures do not have to have for each string, so I cut them  randomly  . I've been a little short, but not very noticeable. 

And secondly, many years passed and did not remember macramé knots already. After several attempts I managed to remember how to do.
