  • Try and try till you succeed…

    I got a new toy,about 2 months back..

    my new sewing machine.
    But I was adamant that I would only use it when I got a new table..I waited and waited..but it didnt happen..So,finally I gave up and opened the box..set up the machine on the dining table.
    I found this cute teddybear fabric remanant in BigW and that was the reason,I gave up on waiting for the machine table.

    I decided to make pajamas.I traced out one of Aadya’s trackpants on to the fabric and cut it..and then joined the pieces and sewed it..but something is off..the pajams are too tight,at waist.Ofcourse I havent put an elastic yet..but I know something is wrong.

    I am so sad..may be I should try something even simpler?But almost everyone says pajamas are the simplest..may be pillow cases???yes thats it..I am going to try my hand at that next.
    what you think,my 3 readers?some more simple projects?

    Edited to add-I am trying to post pictures,but WP wont let me..check again later for pics of my sewing disaster:P

  • I lost my wallet..

    I know not very original..but I am too depressed to think of a nicer title.
    I just hope its misplaced in the house..Aadi is forever looking for coins in my handbag..and I am forever hiding my wallet from her..because of her latest fetish for the Kekit cards (credit cards).
    And now I cant find it.But if its just misplaced..it is ok..I have looked everywhere and I cant find it.My heart is sinking…I just hope,I didnt drop it anywhere.
    The last two weeks I had no reason to take it with me.I didnt go out much..and when I did,I used the cash from my sales at the markets.The one time I wanted to take the wallet and didn’t find it,ithought it was in the car..I do it many times-leave it in the car,that is.
    I am not a credit card person..but there was one CC in the wallet,and my debit card..and my library card,my spotlight and lincraft patrons card..:(
    But the things I am grieving most are- a Rs.500 note that my dad had given me on the day that i left for US the first time.He handed me the note,just as I was stepping out of his house to go to my IL’s before going to the airport.
    Then there was my picture of Saibaba- when we were trying to get pregnant,I found solace in the SaiBaba temple in Chicago..
    My picture of Ganpati Bappa from Siddhivinayak temple
    My good luck coins-tied with the red thread..given to me by my sister almost 8 years back.
    The reciept from our celebratory dinner ,the day we found out that I was pregnant.
    The wallet itself was my favorite..soft pink aligator skin.:(
    And so many little tidbits..I can’t even remember.
    I am just soo soo sad..The cards,I can replace..but how can I replace these tokens of love,blessings..
    I just wish I find it..soo sad 😦

  • Fishy Kimono

    I Heart Babies and I heart Kimonos..and I heart babies wearing Kimonos.
    A very good friend is due in October and getting together a few things for her baby..They don’t know what they are having yet,so I decided to stick to neutral colors.
    I first saw this Kimono at Yarnydays and I fell in love with it.
    This is yet another quick project,just right for instant gratification!
