Some celebrations, some beading

Hi friends. Hope all my friends in the coastal part of US were not affected by Irene!!

First, a very hearty welcome to my new followers. I really hope you enjoy my blog and I keep you interested. I cannot thank you all enough to keep me inspired in crafting :)

Last friday was the 10th anniversary celebrations at V's school. V acted in a play that was a part of a scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows - part 2. She was Hermione.
The scene they enacted was where Harry, Ron and Hermione are accompanied by the goblin to gringott's to get the horcrux and escape on a dragon.

From where we were, this was all I could capture of them getting away on the dragon. Other pictures were too hazy. Hope the pictures taken by the school are good.

Doesn't he look exactly like Harry?!! Could not find Ron around when I clicked this picture, and V was just waiting to get rid of her costume.

Now for some crafty pictures. Made some more jewellery last weekend. This time it is completely hand made.

Now, I don't know why this picture is rotated, it looks alright on my computer :(

The beads were actually plain wooden beads that my dear brother got from Michaels. On saturday afternoon V brought her poster colors and insisted I give her something to paint. So, I dug these out and helped her with just some mixing of colors. Otherwise, she did the coloring. After that, we let it dry for a day and I gave the golden "touch" to the beads and strung them last night. I might just re-string them into a new design later.

I do not have any stitchy updates this time. So, with that let me wrap up for now.
Till my next update.. take care.. be happy.. keep stitching.. Au Revoir

Quick update

This is going to be a very short and a quick update from me. Not much has been happening on the crafty side. It's not the mojo exactly, but things are a bit slow.

Well, I baked some Banana nut bread over the weekend for my aunt and uncle's visit.

I got the recipe from here. I substituted the egg with milk as suggested by Sumi in the blog. Also instead of using 2 cups flour, I used 1 cup oatmeal and 1 cup flour. It turned out very moist and fluffly.

And here's my progress on Welcome. Sorry about all the wrinkles in the fabric. It's been caused by keeping it folded :( I know it's not much of a progress, but something all the same.

So friends, wasn't that quick? Till my next update..Take care..Be happy..Keep stitching..Au Revoir

Thank you and a new start

Yay, I have another follower!!! Thank you soo much Mylene for joining in and leaving such lovely comments :) I am greatly honoured that you added my name to your side bar. Thanks a ton again :d

I finally managed to pick up the needle again and start on the next project.

This is just a teeny weeny progress but am already loving the way it looks. Love the colours as well.

I also managed to work on a neck-piece on Sunday.

And a closer shot at the "cluster" which acts as a pendant

The design has been on my mind for a while inspired by many designs I've seen on other sites as well. So finally got to work on it when I could not fall asleep on Sunday night. I started working on this on Sunday midnight!! Crazy right. Well, by the time I finished up it was 3am Monday morning!!! Yes crazier, I know. But once I started, it was soo addictive that I could simply not go to bed with this one incomplete. Well, I had to rip my eyes open to get to work the next day, that's a totally different story - hehe.

So, dear friends this is it from me for today. Hope to have finished the design am working on now on my next post.

Thank you for dropping by. Do leave your comments and suggestions.

Till then.. Take care.. Be happy.. Keep stitching.. Au Revoir
