Flower deco in my house
There are six seasons in India, each season brings with it the bloom of different flowers. It is the season of Sawan flowers which I have brought inside the house to decorate with.
And I love putting flowers in recycled vases.........

That's why,I inculcate in me very simple, and very customizable way, to bring seasonal flowers into the home. And yes, these are beer bottles. But the same can be done with wine bottles. Just clean, and if you like, decorate, empty wine bottles, fill them part way with some cool water and one or two fresh flowers. Boom,seasonal renewal, done.

i love the mat its on i made this table mat with recycled poly bags years back.

Recycled wreaths for porch
Many times some articles were stolen in from our verandah, so I decorate it with recycled craft,and plants.
I am always creating new displays for this corner of our front portico. It is outdoors and protected on all the three sides by walls and half of it is overhead by a roof. I have often thought of using terra cota and paper crafted,and other recycled craft items items for display here and finally decided to test it out.
I created a winter wreath using using dry grass from front park,a pressure gasket and some fabric pieces from my sewing. I created ribbons from fabric pieces and hung them from a wreath frame also wrapped in ribbon.
For this summer wreath I cut a thermocol sheet into ring that I got from our new microwave packing .i pasted wooden pieces that I got from pruning our front park tree ,I sprayed all the pieces with a coating of acrylic sealer by Mod Podge. They have been hanging for two weeks, through 2 rain storms and are stilling looking great.
I have a wonderful front portico. It has entries to both the rooms it is on the east side of the house and has a bright corner. For many years I keep changing this corner with different crafty articles .
Here is that same corner last year with the recycled pot with my caladium. The pot was much easier to make but because I had used it for several years I needed to try something new.

What’s your philosophy in Life?
reblogged from my another blog.
My Philosophy....
While studying my B.Sc. in Home Science in 1st year, the subject expert for the course Home-Management was not available in our University College. So the subject was taught by the teacher of Extention major. Almost whole class was awarded F grade. Reason the even the first chapter that contained the concept of philosophy, value and standard, the concept was not clear for all of us….. the book for the course was Home Management by Nickle and Dorsy!
Philosophy here…..
Here's a fun quiz!
For me….
You scored as utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.
“The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.”
--Jeremy Bentham
“Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.”
--John Stuart Mill
