  • Pink baby jacket and hat.

    A friend was not really happy with the baby sweaters,she found ,where she lived.So,I asked her ,if I could make one for her baby.She said,she wanted one in baby pink color and she wanted it to be a cardigan or front open style..So,I set about looking for patterns…and finally settled on
    I used 4 ply Baby wool-soft to touch and easy to care for. It took me a little over 10 days to complete it..But,the end result,made me so happy.
    The hats were so much fun to make and so quick too.I am making one for Pipette and I have one more ready,to sell.

  • First Post here

    Pipette has been my inspiration,even before she was born.When I was pregnant,like most would-be-mothers,I decided that she should have something,exclusively hand-made by her mother.So,I started thinking..every Hindi movie,that I had watched growing up,had the pregnant woman,knitted a sweater for her baby-to-be.But,I didn’t want to knit..My grandma,was going to do that.So,I decided to make a blanket for her.Quick and easy,baby blankie.And I decided to crochet it.But,as the blanket,started taking shape,I loved the way it felt..and the way it looked and decided to go all the way and make an Afghan,that she could use,even when she got a little older.

    Here’s the Afghan:

    I used the wool from Baby Clouds.and the afghan does have a dreamy feel to it.

    The reason for starting this blog is simple-

    First,I want to keep a record of all my creations.And secondly,I am trying to establish,a small work-from home type of a business.So,this blog will also work as a display for my creations.So,if you know someone,who might like this,send them my way 🙂

    Thanks for looking.

  • Round two-chicken Pox

    We just managed to kick the “Croup”monster out,last week,from Aadyaland.We still stayed indoors,for the next 3-4 days.We stepped out gingerly for a regular weight check up at the Maternal and child health centre,on Tuesday.The weight was good..and I relaxed.

    I let her rest again on wednesday,except for a short walk to the park.Thursday,again,we stayed in most day and went to visit a friend,who was introducing me to a mommy friend of hers. All was well  and the world looked  beautiful.

    And Friday morning,just before lunch,she kept taking her shirt off,again and again..It was a hot day,and so,I let her play like that.After a while,I noticed,some red spots on her back..I tried to be calm,but my mind screamed”Chicken Pox”.

    So,I just took an appointment,and then called Sanj.That’s a subtle lifestyle change that has taken place in our Household,since moving to Melbourne.When we were in the US,the first call was to the Bubba..after checking his schedule,I would call and take an appointment at the doctor’s..I like this new independence!So,anyway,the doctor confirmed that it is Chicken Pox,indeed.

    So,this weekend,we are nursing a chicken-pox ridden child and walking on egg-shells,hoping to not catch it ourselves.I have a high likelyhood of catching it-when I got pregnant,the doctor ran a series of blood-tests and the results,said that I didnt have anti-bodies for chicken pox. So,the probability of my catching it is realy high.Well,anyway,we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

    For now,I am worried about my little girl..She seems to be going through some jinxed phase..I think we all are going through a jinxed phase….One thing after the other,keeps following us.Hope this phase ends soon.If you happen to talk to the Big Man,up there,ask him to ease up on us,Please!

  • Today and update

    I have vowed to post every day..This move,and getting ready for it,and eveyrthing else,that happened in the last 2-3 months has turned me into a lazy blogger.So,Here’s Today’s post.

    These are some pictures,that I took,as soon as the objects,caught my fancy.

    And for some reason,Blogger wont let me post anymore pics.Anyway,this one was taken on a cold evening.I had just finished cooking and stepped into the living room,so see this.I just had to take a snap.

    As for the update on Bed-time Battle-

    Last two nights,I have been too tired and all of us have been going to bed by 9.30 or so.As.so many of you pointed out,its a new environment,and I think I should give her more time. I am working on setting up a pattern for day-naptime..and lets see how it goes from there.sanj is never home before 7.30-8.00 so,enlisting his help..is no go..I have all but given up on him coming home early.And he asks me why I am so grumpy at night!

    Speaking of Sanj,our anniversary is coming up and I am thinking of something nice to give him.Any suggestions?Books and shirts are out..I am thinking may be perfume..but again so boring.bring on the suggestions,people!
