After 2 years.....

                                                                Writing a post after 2 years.... From a different country.. Started this blog before two years when i was at Abudhabi. I started this blog to kill my time and to keep myself diverted. But now i dont have time to think of this blog. Now the life has changed a lot...It took so much of unexpected twists and turns. Now i am a busy mom at Cochin. Totally held up with my kids, their schooling, family weddings, kid's school's pta activities etc.... Overall i should say that cochin had treated me well. 

                I never dreamt that i will start a business of my own. Its been 1 year and by the grace of almighty 

God it came out really well.  

                 Today accidently i went through my old posts and felt so good after reading it. I had a rewind of my abudhabi days. So i feel i should bring my blog back from  its hibernation.

Today onwards i will be posting atleast one post in a week!!

Cheers

Cissy.

Crocheted booties

I love crocheting!! In crocheting i love to make booties!! This is an easy pattern which any beginner can attempt.

                             

Tweety baby towel!

Hey howzz my tweety?? Isnt she cute? Especially when its embroidered on a towel for your cute little new born? I stitched this during my nesting period. Have you heard of the nesting period?? Mother cats , dogs and birds have such a period. Same way human moms-to-be also have a nesting time. This is the period when you prepare the nest for your soon arriving baby!! The nesting instinct is different for different moms. I spend my time mostly for stitching and preparing new clothes for the baby. 

I loved the eyes and lips of the tweety.Very expressive!!

The edging is done with a double colored nylon yarn. Its a simple single crochet edging.

I adopted the pattern from the image below. Try it out!

Ripple pattern table runner

   
 Ripples!!! Dont you all love ripples?? I just  love to simply sit in the beach and enjoy the waves.In my childhood days,when boats passes through the river we used to run to the riverside to see the backwash hitting the riverbank.

Here is an attempt to create ripple effect with yarns.

I just loved the colour combination used in this project.
An aqua blue,lemony yellow and a peppy peach well merged with the snowy white color.

A closer view

The complete patent of this pattern belongs to this video. Please check it out here. It is so well explained that any beginner can attempt it.
Happy crocheting till we meet next time:)

Iranian table mat!!

           Since the UAE era of my life is gonna end, probably this might be my last visit to global village. This time i am so happy that i bargained and purchased at a pretty cheap rate.
                         Though these carpets are meant to be iranian i got this from the pakistan pavilion. At first the price was 60dhs.then 45..later 35..finally i got two tablemats for 30 dhs. Yipee!!!!

 When i got these carpets it was embellished with thick yarn,draped all over the sides. But it just made the overall look clumsy. So i removed it  and adorned it with a simple single crochet border with a beige color yarn. Here it goes!!
