HAT PINCUSHION

hello
Atlast some creativity......Nima had crocheted a beautiful pincushion. I saw it, admired and moved on without realising that she was giving the pattern for us to try.:-)when i saw Ninu's,Andrea's and Julia's, i decided to join the run and NIMA was kind enough to send me the pattern immediately.The pattern is written by Nima and very easy to follow. We are asked to replicate the pattern and embellish it. I have used brown lace, small blue beads around the circumference and few COLD PORCELAIN flowers that i have crafted. Ninu has named her pin cushion as NIMA's pin cushion's COUSIN:-)....I guess mine is NEXT GEN:-). I loved this pin cushion, did u?I am sure many of you would love to try it out,go to NIMA'S BLOG, she is waiting to help you out. Have fun.........

PROUD MOM:-)

Hello everybody
have been away from the blogging world for quite some time....been not keeping well for some time and chennai has turned into an oven. Couldn't motivate myself to do anything creative at all.I am sure you can understand my plight...............have been sulking all along .
Just when i thought that i needed something to pep me up, as usual my daughter is here to rescue me:-) . My fifteen year old decided to surprise me with her culinary skills( a first timer into the kitchen). She decided to prepare dinner for us last night and found an excellent recipe...."PANEER PILAF". I was banned from venturing into the kitchen when she was there. With a lot of apprehension i kept my cool and we waited for the much awaited DINNER.Patience paid off, the mouth watering dish was dished out, and she said "MOM.......HAPPY MOTHERS DAY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS OVERWHELMED...........she wouldnt stop with that , next came a beautiful ear stud too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never realised till last night that my little one who would hold my hand and take those small tiny steps , who would be scared to do anything on her own is now a beautiful and confident teen.
I AM SO PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER
