Its me



Really I'm not a one project kind of person - I like to have numerous projects on the go at any one time, to be picked up and worked on as time and desire takes hold. Currently I have on the go :

Small pineapple purse


Another pineapple purse on the go


White shawl on the needles

Pineapple squares for the table cloth



mom's dress material

 .., and I have a long way to go) a ripple blanket for winter bed of my MOM which was started a 9 months ago and worked on slowly and which is now having the edgings on   it so will be finished very, very soon, and two cotton dresses of  summer clothing for MOM in various stages of being made/drafted/cut/sewn.

This week with the other members of Ngo I decided to give demo on plarn making (with poly bags and old clothing). Who doesn’t love to use the polybags and old dresses for second life.to use the used items again and again is eco-friendly way of living and will protect our mother earth by lightening the burden of filth on it

Reduce Reuse and Recycle

I usually make the plarn out of plastic bags to crochet something useful but some plastic bags are hard to crochet
plastic bags of sugar, grout, white cement, plaster of paris i made plarn out of these then braided them into a big braid!

Hereis the link for this rainy mat i made out of the braid
and 




I unravel the mat  wrapped the braid over two paint tins for plant pots


braided plant pot in the varandah
braid covered  pot in the room


again we people bored with the looks of the plant pots and up-cycled them
Up-cycled braids on the floor in the sun so that they become soft to coil into the mats



third time i made three table mats out of that very plarn braid.
 the second place mat

Happy recycling!
