Singapore Part 2

Last weekend was great fun!! We went to Sentosa and Universal Studios and the little one had so much fun. Felt so happy to see him so happy. Tomorrow we will leave Singapore with lots of good memories.

My crafty shopping. Yes, I managed to not buy any yarn!!:))

Singapore Part 1

We are in Singapore!!! Husband is on an official trip and me and little one have come to enjoy!! :).. Its a great city and we will be here for another week. We visited Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park and Night Safari. These places are great for adults and kids. You get to go near the animals and birds and also read a lot of fun and educational facts about them. There are lots of shows in which the animals and birds participate. The little one was very excited and so were we. My camera went crazy and let me share a few pictures with you.

What I loved the most about these places is that they are doing so much to build awareness about preserving our rain forests and saving endangered species.

We also visited some shopping centres. I bought some cute stuff for really cheap prices. But nothing craft related yet!!

My Christmas crochet is going on at a snail pace.

More about Singapore and my Christmas crochet later. Have a great day!!!

Sneak Peek

into some Christmasy stuff I am working on.

Striped baby blanket Ta-Dah!!!

Striped baby blanket is ready and here it is smiling at you!!



All these colourful stripes give me so much joy!! I enjoyed crocheting each and every row of this. For some of you who asked, here are some details. I have just done rows of double crochet. For the border, a round of dc(followed the idea found here and here ) in green, then a round of dc in salmon and finished with a round of sc in red.

Had started to give a picot edging, but the whole thing was curling up like crazy, so ended up with this simple border.

 I like this border too.

Leaving you with a picture of some beautiful flowers in my kitchen!!Have a great day!!

Blanket WIPs

Thank you so much for the sweet comments you leave for me and the encouragement and inspiration I am getting from this little blogland of ours!!

Today I thought, I will post about my blanket WIPs. For that extra little push to complete them and also for the sheer pleasure of photographing them!!

I have started a new stripy baby blankie!! No I am not expecting.. While going to my parents home this time I forgot to take some colours I needed for my Granny Square Afghan. So started making this baby blanket with the colours I had. Otherwise nine hours in the car without my crochet is boooring!! I will decide what to do with it later. Right now just enjoying making it!!

Next are these cheerful little squares. I have decided to turn these into another baby blanket.

Last but not the least my Granny Square Blanket!! Can you notice some changes in there? Yeah!! I have included some large squares in between and I lovvve the effect!!

I kept this on our doorstep for Diwali ( Festival of Lights, celebrated in India).

Happy Halloween to all!!Have a great day!!

Bling Gifts

First of all thank you sooooo much for the sweet birthday wishes. Hugs to all!! As promised I am going to share pictures of some bling stuff I am making as gifts. The recipient likes bling.
A phone pouch

More bling stuff later!!Have a great day!!

Birthday Gifts And Some Fabric Shopping

It was my Birthday last Friday!!Got some nice gifts and felt special. But let me show you what I gifted myself. Two books I have been dreaming to buy since a long time. Yippee!!

Also found some super cute fabric yesterday in an exhibition. Got them for reasonable rates as they are export rejects. These are all bed sheets, except the cupcakes print which is a pillowcase. The sheets are quite big so have enough in each print. I can't wait to use these for my sewing projects.

 I am crocheting some bling stuff today. Will post about within the next couple of days. Have a nice day!!
