I thought this would be an easy one..You know why?Well,My name means Thirst.. 🙂 Yes Trishna means thirst. And all my life,whenever I told anyone my name and if they knew the meaning of it,they would ask me,’what are you thirsty for?!!’ If they didn’t know the meaning,they’d ask me the meaning and then,ask me-‘what are you thirsty for?!!’ As I was growing up,I had the answer down,pat- Knowledge!  But now,as I am getting older..and wiser,I like to think..I think I really have an unquenchable thirst for crafts,skills..I can’t be content with just knowing one thing..I have to keep trying something new every few days. Even after perfecting it,I am not satisfied,I have to try variations and then some..and then move on to attempt something unknown.

When I was studying,the simpler things never excited me..I had to try and conquer the unknown..struggle with the tougher problems and could only relax,when I had solved them.. but only for a little while..before moving on to the next. 

They say people take after their names..in my case,I think its true 🙂

Blank mind.. except..Aadi’s moods and Anaan’s Gastro.

Aadi is very emotional these days..didn’t know that mood swings started so early.

Anaan has gastro..tiring for both me n her! Me-busy making a hat for SD-my darling hubby has shaved off his head in this cold cold weather. And a Star cocoon custom order for someone from my facebook store.

Every morning I think of writing,but the time flies off with Ms.Anaan.. may be tomorrow will be better..more later.

First A Rainbow Beret- a Custom order for my Facebook Store


I love all the colors on this one.

Next,this gorgeous headwarmer for my little Diva 🙂 She loves it so much,she even wore it to bed.

And lastly these hair-clips for Ms.Anan’s toddler friend-

I am trying to rest up and relax to deal with the extreme exhaustion that I am experiencing.. rested most morning today-Result-I wasn’t disoriented by evening,not irritable,even cooked a good desi-meal complete with two stir-fries n daal-rice n fresh chapatis.
More tomorrow..:)

This week started off with sickness.. specially Ms.Anaan..she was in a bad shape -raging fevers causing to be delirious and the works,and then miraculously,the fever broke..touch wood she is fine now.

Ms.Aadya missed school too,on account of sickness,but when she went back on Wednesday,she was well rested and feeling better.

In other news,terrible twos have arrived at Sunshine Kingdom and boy! have they arrived..Last two days,Anaan has driven me up the wall..So many times,I cannot tell you. Seriously,if Toddler #1 is hard..Toddler #2..is *shudder shudder* Arghhh!! I dont even have any words to describe what I am feeling right now..Lets just say,ummm..I don’t think there will be a baby #3!!! 

Hope you all have been well.. I will write more..when I have my head space cleared..of all the tantrums etc..for now,I am getting through each day minute by minute!!

 

 

I am so proud of the way,this one has turned out .When I first started out,my plan was to make a  regular beanie and then sew embellishments to turn it into a Ninjago. But it wouldn’t give the mask look..So,I tried it one way,then the other..And then finally came up with this 🙂 Pretty neat,huh?

Now,as for the other happenings, I have started walking again- for real..every day! And the weekly pilates.Last week,I was in so much pain,I went to the Dr and asked her to check,if I had may be ripped something,in my tummy. She felt my tummy and said..’This is just your muscles,my dear and they are all intact..don’t you dare,stop your Pilates!’ Its funny now..and you can laugh,just a little bit..but I swear,it sure wasn’t funny that day! 

Aadi has been complaining that I don’t bake often as I used to…and so I baked some cupcakes for her after-school snack and when she came home,we frosted them with some Nutella and put Menthos on top! Sending you some virtual cup-cake love 🙂

I was doing so well with the daily posts and then I disappeared..so,let me fill you in.. but before that I have an announcement to make..I finally took the plunge and started my own Facebook shop/page to display and sell my hand-made goods.Presenting 

You can find us here …Please like “Trishna’s ” on Facebook and spread the word-Thanks in advance:)

OK now for my updates..So Thursday was nice and relaxed-it was Anzac Day and all we had on the cards was some R&R -Rest and Relaxation..So,I went ahead and booked myself in for a facial and a massage..God knows,I needed it after hobbling around in pain for a week,post the Pilates. Ohh! and I loved the second class that I tried and that’s the one that I am signing up for. In fact,I am already looking forward to the next class.

So,after I came back from the facial,massage etc,I was making breakfast for everyone,when the phone rang.It was my College Best Friend,known as CB here.We had lost touch after I got married,because of a fall-out within our immediate circle of friends.I found him on Facebook,the other week and with much trepidation,sent him a friend request and he wrote back,almost instantly saying,how he was glad that I got in touch and he’d like to talk,etc. I sent him my number but never heard back from him..and he called that day. Actually,he called the night before(5 am to be precise!!!) and SD was awake watching some match and he picked up..and woke me up,panicking that something was wrong back home. CB,was just confused about my location..that’s what was wrong!LOL!

Anyway,that morning,talking to CB,it was like,all those years just disappeared between us.. we were back to laughing and joking like nothing happened.He spoke to SD too and promised to visit us. So,that was my Thursday morning..rest of the day,I spent sleeping on the couch..yeah..I was so relaxed after my massage and SD was a star for keeping the girls,from waking me up!

Friday,SD was back at work and we were having a nice relaxed morning,when Aadi decided to fool around with her ear.It was already red and infected and she scratched it bad.. Ugh!There was blood everywhere… I couldn’t believe it.. I applied pressure,rushed her to be seen by the nurse,who told us to wait for the Dr .And the Dr. looked at it from 2 feet distance.. his clear instructions were- Keep washing it under running water,every now and then and keep it dry!!WT….!!! Such a waste of time and the toddler was feral,by the time,we left!

Came home,put the toddler down for a nap,got the dinner started in the slow-cooker..mutton curry-yummmo! And then when Anaan woke up,we went to Aadi’s friend’s place for a play-date.Swimming had to be cancelled,on account of the ear and we came home to our perfectly cooked mutton curry. 

The weekend was as usual-work,then cuddles with my babies,a make-up class for swimming.I just remembered a funny story-The first time that I booked Aadya for a makeup lesson at swimming,I told her that she has to go for a makeup lesson on so n so day and she was dumb-struck..she asked me.Mumma are you serious?I said yes,why? ‘But you said little girls aren’t allowed to put on make-up,then why are you letting me go?” 

OMG!I laughed and laughed and then hugged her close to tell her,what sort of ‘make up’ it was!

On that note,I’ll end this post..I’ve just come back from a long walk,better get into the shower and get cooking,while my munchkin naps. 

Don’t forget to check out Trishna’s and leave me a comment to tell me who you like it..

Much love

It was ‘Wear your Sports House Color’Day at Aadya’s school today and she was in Red house. We bought a plain T-shirt over the weekend and last night as she was setting everything up,we couldn’t find it.Many discussions and mental steps re-tracking,we realised that it was kept on the Pram and must have fallen off while folding the pram. 

Anyway,after much yelling and tossing the blame-ball back and forth between SD and I,SD offered to go pick it up.B.U.T. he is color-confused where Reds and Dark Pinks are concerned.So,he rang up to check and ended up sending a picture to be doubly sure.I could’ve suggested that he ask a store assistant but seriously,how many men do you know that ask for help? LOL ..so after all this,he brought the right T-shirt in 2 sizes.Crisis averted.

Sports day was alright-I guess..She didn’t seem excited or anything. After school,we went for Ballet .Tonight I trialed a new Pilates class.This time was totally different than compared to the last.The instructor made us all fill out a form,asking specifically for medical conditions..and since it was a smaller group(the other class that I tried had atleast 15 members,if not more),she came a checked everyone’s technique through out the class.So even though this class starts half an hour later and costs a little more…its time and money well spent.

Hope you had a nice day today…See you tomorrow..
