  • Since the last post was written and published,after midnight,in Australia,I was wondering,if it counts as the post 23 for NaBloPoMo..then,I decided,what the heck..another  post won’t make a difference and this time,I am enjoying NaBloPoMo,more than the last time..There is no pressure-its easier to write and post something everyday,this time around.

    Coming to today’s post..I remembered last night,that I never posted a picture of the goodies that Shruti sent us..so,here it is:)

    I am sad the flowers were damaged,when I recieved it..nevertheless,I will always cherish this greeting.Thanks Again,Shruti..Sorry,it took me so long to post the picture.Blogging is so much fun,with the Windows live Writer!! I am loving it!

    In other news,today was quite a nice day..When I was combing Aadi’s hair,this morning,the Medicare Ad was on air..and she saw the lice and freaked out.I told her,the little girl,used to cry when her mommy combed her hair..and so she got lice..And the little Puppy,bought it..so we evaded one of our biggest battles.I tied her hair into two pigtails and she was in a good mood..feeling pretty and all.

    The only fight we had all day was at dinner table.Dinner was a little late today..so,she was tired and sleepy..and thats not a very good combination..she started playing around with her food.DH sat down to feed her,but both of them were distracted by the TV.Then started the whining.."I don’t like this vegetable”.We are counting our fruit and vegetable servings each day..and aiming for 5..So,I  tried to remind her that she would be one serving short..more whining followed,so i stopped making the chapatis and sat down with her,feeding her.And guess what she said,"Mumma I love this vegetable.”,so I guess all the drama was for mumma to sit next to her.

    As for our fruit-vegetable servings,today she had grapes for her morning snack,tomato with her lunch,then she had an apple for a snack and finally for dinner had a serving of beetroot raita and beans..yayy..all 5! I love vegetable raitas..they are  nutritious comfort foods,isn’t it?

    Hope you had a nice day too:D

  • Here’s presenting our Colorful Zoo on Canvas!

    DSC03909 This is our Entry for Artsy-Craftsy June 2010

    We started working on our Zoo..a long time ago..and ended up loads of paint on the floor..some more on the clothes and some unwanted spills on the canvas..So,we had to abandon our attempts.

    Tonight(technically,its past midnight in Australia,so last night) after I wrote my last post,went in to find,both DH and Aadi,fast asleep..I had to try and salvage,this piece of art..:D

    Here’s what we used:

    DSC03912

    A plastic plate to take our colors in,Animals stencil sheet,a roller brush and balls of soft cotton and/or  rags.

    First I painted my canvas,with a bright yellow. Then,Ms.Aadya got to work,armed with soft cotton balls and we just dabbed the cotton balls in color and dabbed on the canvas,to make a  busy backdrop.

    Then,I used the rags dipped in color and traced out the animals,randomly. All done..Easy Peasy!

    We were half way,through creating the backdrop,when the big spill happenned and we had to stop. I had almost given up on this,but Something made me want to do it..Ohh I know what it was- my love for Shruti!

    This one is going up in my guest-room..Another retro decor under $10! I think it will look nice in a kids room too.I am planning on making a couple of these in smaller sizes(4by6 or 5 by 8) and various colors for my market stall..what do you think?Will it sell??Give me an honest feedback please!
