DIY - Plain wooden tray modification





Here is a easy DIY. 

 Imagination is all you need.  I bought a couple of these plain wooden trays.

Back after a long hiatus

I am back after a long break.  This one was not planned.  I went to India during summer.  I thought I will take a couple of weeks break and be back on the blog......

Summer 2014 was not what me or my family had planned for ourselves.   Have you ever heard of a saying "Man proposes and God disposes"......   We as a family still tried to make best out of what we could do.

Soon after returning from India, first Gowri and Ganesha festival.   Gowri and Ganesha is a big festival for those of us who come from Bangalore.  Soon after Navaratri snuck up on me and so did Deepavali.  Things have been crazy on the work front too.  When it rains, it pours right?

Enough of that.  Here are a few pictures from my Navaratri and Deepavali.

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

 

Partying with these good folks:

From my garden - Jasmine

To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat.

What comes to your mind when you think of childhood?  Every one has a few favorite things which they associate with happy times.  For me it is monsoon rains, Jasmine flowers, spicy peanuts to name a few. 

I love Jasmine flowers.  I  am collecting different types of them.  Here are a few of them from my garden.

 

Summer has begun





Summer has begun at home. You know it has started paint, canvas and the brushes appear in the girls bedrooms. Today I am bringing to you my older daughter's paintings.
