Bookmarks

I collect stuff  thinking I can reuse that later. Sometimes it is quite difficult to keep them stored neatly as I do not have much storage space(perils of staying in a rented house) but I am unable to throw it away. And when this crafty urge appears, then I really feel happy to have all this around.

Made these bookmarks from old wedding invitation cards which I was having for last 7-8 years.

Earlier I had made some money envelopes also using wedding cards(here).

Another Quilled Greeting Card

Quilled cards are my latest obsession. Whenever I need to make one, I think of nothing but quilling. Here is my second attempt at it:

Blog Award

I received this versatile blogger award from Ranjana:

Quilling on Greeting Card

A quick post on recently made greeting card using paper quilling. I love this art form as it gives a 3D effect to your design and can be done easily. Take a look:

(Not a very nice pic still gives a view.)

Summery Kurta for Mother

It is holiday time in school before new session begins and we (me and 'C') went to my parents place for 4-5 days. I love stitching during my visits as my mom also helps me in planning and working on stuff. I stitched one cotton night suit for 'C' and a cotton kurta for my mother as we are gearing up for harsh summer months. Here is my mother's kurta:

 

I used matching blue fabric for design and put buttons made from kurta fabric. Though picture is not very clear. It is showing blue fabric as straight piece while I have made pleats there and then turned them from middle creating 3D effect in pleats. Will ask for a closer shot from my mother and then re-post. 

I loved its final look and now planning for my kurta from same fabric (I had got fabric for two kurtas).

Will be posting 'C's night suit in next post as it still has not got its buttons and button holes. Till then keep spreading happiness........
