Lovely Felt Coasters - or whatever you would like them to be

Hey there,

 Yes i have been away - A LOT. But this took me out of the MIA stage - felt coasters at How About Orange. I simply could not pass them up.

Get the tutorial and free pattern download here for the small coaster and here for the bigger one. Love the results. I have to find a felt source in India or online at least. Help anyone?

New Blog find

Hi there,

Can you see all the creativity here on blogland? I mean I find something new and interesting almost each day. My reading list has grown to 117. That is just too much to read in a small day. Here is my newest find: The House That Lars Built.

Check out the pure genius behind this idea:

A friendship bracelet style rug? If THAT is not genius what is?

Best Friends

I am in love with these guys. I found this site via ShoAndTell. These little guys (Haru and Mina are their names) are brothers and their father - the photographer, Hideaki Hamada has documented their adventures since a few years. You will love seeing the archives. They are so adorable and cute, I can hardly stand the cuteness. In the photographs they ooze out so much attitude and innocence. And that look glee everywhere which is unique to children. And as Shoko mentions, they look more like best friends.

 

My favorite season

Hello dear awesome people,

How have you been? I have been utterly uninspired to blog, since I am not 'creating' or 'learning anything'. Hence the lack in posts. But I am back and well into spring :o) Don't you just love this season. I feel so fresh every morning with the crisp wind through the windows (not that it has inspired me to wake up early and go exercising), birds chirping everywhere (here I am ignoring a few annoying pigeons who have made troubling me very much the aims of their lives) and the blossoms everywhere, I mean when do you get to see SO MANY COLOURS?  I see bright yellow hues and purple, the dusty powdery purple and a real beautiful white and pink on blooms everywhere.

And have you heard of the 'Palash Tree' or very rightfully called the 'Flame of the forest'. Let me give you an idea. What do you think? It's gives yours eyes a feast of bright, beautiful orange colour which you cannot take your eyes off. It's is precisely this season in which the tree is stripped off all it's leaves leaving these breathtakingly beautiful flowers behind, creating a scene as if the forest is on fire. These are a vital part of the festivities at Holi, the festival of colours. It is one festival which should be witnessed by everyone, for the sheer involvement of colour and pure joy. I have fond memories of celebrating Holi in my school days. It was supposed to be a very big deal (I don't even have a holiday this year *really angry face here*). Though I don't play it anymore, well not as much as I used to. It's still fun to observe people and try and identify, who's who at the end of the day :o)
