DIY : Kantha Stitch on Block Print

'Kantha and block print'
makes me go weak at my knees..-;)

I just love to punch them together

and the magic is twofold .

Here is my latest project

simple running stitch

on old re-purposed
 coral red 
Indian block printed fabric.




You may check my other Kantha work here

Trying my hand on this beautiful art ,
more to come soon on this little space
Stay tuned...-;)

So true!

This gorgeous turquoise wall 
and the effortless casual style 
evokes a lot...isn't it ?

I just can't take my eyes off from 
these calm, grown up rooms below.

  Totally loving these 
vibrant colours, 
bold patterns

and beautiful fabrics,

boho at it's best.

Those pillows , cushions, suzani and Asian artifacts
 blends so well with those pictures on the wall.
Here, east meets west. 

This image reminds me of my homeland, India.
The gorgeous 'jhula' and the chair
 are must for
gapshap (chitchat ) with endless cups of chai (tea) :)

Playfully with colours !!:)

Last week when everything was going wrong I  started playing with colours !!
After almost 10 years  have tried something new old !... Once upon a time which was very close to my heart ...Yes, painting!.. To be precise Jamini Roy  replica/copy !!

After my M.S. it took  a back seat ....reasons are many...well that is completely another story!!...

Now, let us come to the point...last weekend I've tried it...after a long long  time....and more or less happy with the outcome...!!:)...It was just a test run...!! All of you know that, painting needs a lot of time and patience (and am in short of both!!)....
A copy of Jamini Roy's 'Mother and Child'....which is one of my all time favourites...intentionally I've changed the colour scheme ....

Here, is the making...my humble attempt...; 



 And finally am here...

I know, I know flaws are there very much...am no expart !..

So, all my lovelies..all super talented ladies out there...please drop in your suggestions...only you can guide me! ...Would love to hear from you as always :)

At present am crazily busy..... in the middle of packing !....and my two great great helping hands (yup, our brats) are always trying to disturb  make things easy for mama dear (as usual !!:)) Would try to put up a few posts on Christmas/Holiday decor before I leave....

The Diwali afterglow...!!:)

So, finally the festival is over....but the afterglow is there...!..the home still wears the festive look...the decorations, flowers, candles, diyas, rangoli, rose petals, lanterns, laddos, mithai, chocolates, dinners, laughter, chitter chatter are fading away.....hmmmm....but still the fragrance is there in the air...!!

Life is slowly falling back into normalcy...but a little bit of magic is continuing..:)

This post is coming up a little late....was too busy to put up a Post-Diwali writeup...yup, the hangover....the aftereffect....may be laziness.....whatever it is !!...  Am in the post festive hibernation mode...!!:)

And now this is my Entryway ....the post Diwali look !...a few tea light candles, traditional brass lamps and decorative diyas...framed tribal couple with some bonsai and money plants...the greens hues..!:)...:)

The lady of the house...was too busy  with all the preparations....in the kitchen...on the dinner table...with family and friends !!...Was enjoying those beautiful moments ( rather than just clicking pictures)....those glittery moments!...those amazing moments!...those Diwali moments..!!:)..:)

                                                       ...and now it's time to pack-up..!:)

Hope, all of you had a fabulous weekend...the brightest and happiest Diwali ever....with family and friends..foods and fun !!...

Now, the party is over...and cant wait another 356 days for the diyas to be lit...for the next time...for another out of the world Diwali  !!!...

Have a great week:)
