My tryst with the fall color
continues…I enjoyed painting every inch of this piece. A huge acrylic painting
hanging in our entrance beautifully portraying the autumn foliage – I let the
painting speak for itself. A lot of
color mixing went into this, patiently alternating color combinations,
re-mixing and perfecting the shades. The subtle tones of the painting make it
look realistic and I love the reflection in the pond that required great detail.
It kept me occupied so much that when it was done, I started missing painting
this.

Daisy Flower Coasters
I wanted to crochet something interesting and elegant as a gift to my aunt. And I chanced upon this pretty Daisy pattern,
when I was looking for ideas. Maybe because of an overdose of snow-white around
me, I liked the pattern the instant I saw it. When have I ever had second
thoughts on flower patterns! I added my own touch by crocheting a holder for them
as I liked the way they decked up. I imagined them sitting on a big wooden
table, waiting for a hot cup of coffee. Now you all know what went into the
Origami boxes I’d posted few weeks back.
Yarn Used:
Peaches and Crème (100% cotton) - Gold
Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice - White

Vertical Patio Garden
I’ve always wanted a garden,
given my love for flowers. And I had one with lots of rose shrubs and green
trees in the home I grew up in. It is exciting to see the plants sprouting and
growing up all the way to yield fruits to your gardening labour. Every day, the morning routine involved checking if any of my plants showed signs of bearing new flowers or fruits. And when they did (you can see the bell pepper plant in
the right bottom of the photo), the anticipation shifted to waiting for them to ripen. It was fun to
use home grown vegetables to cook our meals. After my plants grew well, I
decided to add some Patio Décor to make this area more enjoyable for the few
months that is warm and bright in this part of the world. I did not want to
spend a lot on it because of the short summer span we have. Also, what’s the
fun in having the same design throughout the year! Hence I reused materials that
I had at home to create this outdoor décor for my balcony and it became one of
our least spent on DIY home projects so far. It is a wonderful idea for a space
saving vertical patio garden. It became our favourite place to relax and have
an evening snack. Although winter is beautiful in its own way (like filling my
patio with a lot of snow to help me build a snowman) summer is bright and
offers more scope for such outdoor activities. Awaiting the Spring…

The Welcome Painting
It’s that time of the year when we
all make resolutions about something – whether we follow it through or not. I
have one too – to learn a new skill and to get better at the ones I’ve learnt
over the past year. It is the beginning of a new year full of hopes and
aspirations. I decided to post something new – a painting! I’ve not done a lot
of painting before, apart from the art classes at school. I chanced upon this
Iron puffed fabric at the art store and thought it was a great way to rekindle
the interest in painting and welcome the New Year.
