Happy Valentines Day!!

I made these cookies for valentine's day this year! They are Figolli cookies decorated with icing sugar. I had found this recipe here. I changed it to use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour. Also i had a mixed nuts powder ( almond, walnut, pistachio, kaju, dry dates) handy so used the same. My decoration is not that neat .. looks a lil messy but turned out yummy!

Quilled Birthday Card for Hubby

I wanted to make something special for my hubby. Quilling was my new attraction at that time and I was looking at making something different, something special than the normal quilled cards. I came across a beautiful tent card made by Inna
I made it with roses instead of fringed flowers, for which I had found a tutorial on youtube.
My work was not as great as her's but it was still good and satisfying :)

T-shirt painting

I had painted these t-shirts with some fabric sketch pens for my then boyfriend now hubby.

That's me in a saree. There was an exhibition in office for which they were displayed. 
Oh 2 of those t-shirts were mine

Some candles

I had made these candles long back... Guess I was in hibernation from blogging :)
I had used gel wax and moldable wax both of which I had bought from Hobby Ideas

Time to kick back some creativity into life

I've been blessed with a little angel over a year ago. Having a child is a mixed bag ... dont get me wrong I am really enjoying seeing my baby grow! It takes away a lot of ones time... the free time i used to get after getting back from work, the times when I used to manage to do some creative/arty stuff. I'm trying to regain the balance and hopefully will be able to do some more creative and self encouraging activities!
