Wish you all a joyous and prosperous 2010!
It feels good to be blogging after so long. We(me and Shreyash) went to my parents place in his Winter breaks. His nani cooked everything he wished for(Aloo tikki, Samosas, Golgappa and many more dishes.) and now this chap wants me to do the same everyday. I told him strictly that it is impossible to cook all those dishes everyday. But he is still reluctant to eat simple dal-roti-sabji kind of food. His school has started but its tough for him to get up and be ready in time. He wants to sleep more like he was doing during holidays. Hope he will be back on track with in few days.
Today he did this painting for Artsy-Crafty Challenge on mindfull-meanderings. I told him what to do and he did it by his hand. He kept his fingers joined and thumb away to make an impression with black color first and then white color (while black was still little wet). Once he was done with bird he painted background as sky and them drew his favourite clouds (he does them in all paintings) using cotton. Then I added bird's legs, lower body portion and border.
Shreyash's colorful painting inspired the kid in me and I did this Ganesha using finger printing. I'm entering both paintings in the contest and hopes to discover many more such activities there. Contest is on till 20th January 2010. Anybody can participate but activity has to be appropriate for kids aged 1 to 10 years.
I had continued my crafty activities while I was not blogging. Here is a ball cum rattle which I made for my sister's one month old son.
I'm dying to post other things but do not have their pictures. Will post next time.
