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....

Pine Cone Themed Christmas Table Arrangement !!:)

Last ten days was  frustrating, devastating, annoying, irritating.....should I stop now???...

Well the story is here :
My two laptops, one..the four years old IBM Think Pad and the other is just one year old DELL  managed to gave me immense troubles during all these days!!....First the problem started with DELL....then I had to switch to the older one, (which was not in a very good condition...though it could serve as a stand by).....but no luck!!...it also followed the same path :(....And I was in complete mess....On top of all these hubby was in Kuala Lumpur on his usual business trip, so neither I got his laptop to share/use...nor his help to resolve those technical problems....:(!!!

Now, he is back in Singapore and thanks to his IITan brain...has fixed the IBM one but the DELL one (which I love to use most) has to go to DELL Lab .....it is having a number of hardware problem(s)..!!!


So, my lovelies this was the story in short....was unable to put up a single post!....extremely sorry for my absence from blog land...and I really really missed all your beautiful blogs !!!


Now, another news : We are leaving for India on this weekend.....yup, for the winter break...Yippee...!!!
Will be back in a few weeks time!!....So, I will be a little irregular ...please bear with me for this short period :)!

Well, since we are leaving shortly,  already have started our Christmas celebration(s) early in Singapore...
Today, am going to share with you some decor tips from  my Pine Cone Christmas Table Arrangements which I have done on last Sunday evening ....Yes, on Advent :)!!!

 A Happy  Table Decor on  Advent .....Sunday 28th November...!
