Despite all this, am really enjoying V's vacation. V and her friend decided to have a sleep-over last Friday. That's right, they just decided on their own and did the entire planning. They "asked" us for permission after all that, if you know what I mean. So, V and I picked up her friend last Friday afternoon and she was with us till Saturday evening.
On this occasion, I baked a veg bolognese for dinner on Friday
I was very pleased with the way it turned out. The best award was the fact that the kids literally licked their plates clean and their faces were glowing after the mean.
They then watched a movie while having dessert - a take-away family pack of black forest ice cream.
Before picking up her friend, V and I visited our craft's supply store and bought some stuff to organize my beads.
I am a lot relieved to just look at all my stuff like this. These are just the gold and silver findings. I still have stored my beads in individual Ziploc bags.
V has been asking me for this hip-belt, we call it the oddiyaanam. This is a traditional kind of belt, usually worn over a saree or a lehenga.
So, we bough the beads needed to make this and V came up with the design. I just helped attach the hooks.
Keeping up with the mango season, I tried out a new mango recipe - Mango muffins
Though it was slightly dense, I liked it. Here's the recipe for the muffins.
On the stitchy front, I have completed about half of November cottage. I will show a picture when it is all complete
