15 Marbles

These are the tulips,I wrote about,when I painted my tulip tile.This painting is very special to both DH and me.It adorns our bedroom wall at my in-laws place.This is the first time,I tried streaking and shading in glass-painting.Streaking was alright,but shading was goofed up,as you can see in the yellow flowers.
You know,I feel this India trip was just the break that I needed.My mind is relaxed and full of fresh ideas now.
I picked up quite a lot of yarn,crochet threads,embroidery floss,silk threads,matties in different colors,paints..sequins and what nots.The only thing I didn’t pick up was beautiful fabrics in lovely colors and prints.But,this was an unexpected trip..next time I will be better prepared.
So many ideas,so many projects..so much to do…:)

Edited to Add- The header picture is of a frame,my Aaji,my mom’s mom embroidered more than 50 years ago.It still holds a picture of my grandfather,in his early thirties.

Here’s Wishing Everyone a happy and prosperous New Year..May this year bring you all that you wish for and more..
May this year see more completed resolutions than broken ones:)
I asked DH what his resolutions were and he said- None..coz resolutions are meant to be broken.
Me?I have a long list…
Losing weight and learning to drive top the list.Speaking of driving,I have graduated from circling the parking lots to driving on a real road with traffic lights.
We brought in the New Year,at home.The baby was in bed,we were cuddled up on the couch,talking and as I watched the lights from the christmas tree fill the room with soft light..the only thought in my mind was ..All is well.. and what little isn’t will be Well!
I leave you with a picture of my Precious,with her precious presents

Here’s wishing every one a very happy and craftilicious New year!
I am back from my holiday and will resume blogging soon.Hope the new year bring all things nice to all of us.

Hey everyone,we are back-much rested and refreshed.My internet connection is off indefinitely-something is wrong with the modem and my hands are itching to blog.I turned to the iPhone and I must say I like it now.hehehe.anything that helps me blog is a good thing.anyway,I came back sick,with a bad ear infection,croaky voice and loss of hearing.I still have trouble hearing and bending my head.it’s not a nice feeling 😦

As far as Aadi is concerned,she is thrilled to be with her dad,follows him around like a puppy,when he is home-only he is allowed to do things for her.She saw him at the airport and she ran to him,hugged and kissed him and kept asking him over n’over -“baba where did u come from?”she has so many stories to tell her dad and has pretend calls with family in bombay.

As for DH,he is enjoying all the attention that is being showered on him by his girls.At the airport,he had eyes only for Aadi and even at home,it was like he was trying to make up for the time we were away.every now and then,I catch him watching her with awe,his expression is the same as it was the day she was born.he keeps saying how much she has grownhow much she has changed.

Oh and in other news,we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on the 20th.Nothing fancy-just brunch and a movie at home-what?I was sick & jetlagged,na;)I guess I should stop.hope some of you are still reading
