Catching up!

Making amigurumi is my forte and I rarely make anything other than that. So when i got a request for a baby set, i had no clue where to start. With a little help and suggestions from my fellow crocheting friends, i was successfully able to make my first crochet baby set. 

The base for the above baby shoe was made using Croby patterns . I have added a little bear applique for a cute look.

I also made this bear lovey as a part of the set and happy with the way it turned out.

There are some days when all i wanna do is crochet and some days i feel like not picking up the hook at all. I constantly waver between these two state of mind. I journal occasionally during those times. Most of the pages in my journal are incomplete but a fully written or designed journal page (even if it's just a single page) makes me so happy. Here's a spread for this month in my journal.

 I'm trying to concentrate more on pattern designing this year and wish to publish more patterns in my Etsy shop. I recently published a new bunny pattern. You can get this and all other patterns for 20% discount from my Etsy shop till the end of August. 

It's been 5 month since the first lock down due to COVID was implemented in our country. With growing number of cases each day, i doubt this lock down will be over soon. Guess we have to adjust to the new normal now. How's the situation in your place. Stay safe everyone wherever you are :)

Happie New year!!

A very happie and prosperous new year to my dear blogging buddies. Hope you are having  a wonderful start so far.

One of the things i want to try this new year is to keep a journal. It's a nice way to let out your thoughts, ramblings, quotes or write down whatever you like.  At the end of the year you get to have a year full of memories with you. Hoping i would continue this throughout the year.

There's so many things to look forward this year and one of the most exciting thing is that my bundle of joy is expected to arrive around this april.  i'm entering my third and final trimester of pregnancy as of this week. It's a wonderful and daunting feeling at the same time.
May this new year brings you lots of happiness, success and love. Have a wonderful year ahead!

Believe in magic...!!

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

  Amidst our hectic life, we often fail to notice the little yet wonderful things that happens around us. Even the simplest of things like admiring the flowers while walking or seeing a child laughing, making something for our loved ones gives us immense pleasure and will brighten our day. Explore and appreciate those little things and our lives will be joyful always.

This is one of my favorite quote and hence decided to make a page of it in my art journal...

Sketching time..!!

Hello friends, how was your weekend? I had a fun time celebrating my friend's birthday, visiting malls and dining out.. i'm also happy over the fact that Daiso has opened a new branch in Dalma mall which is nearby my place. Now i don't have to travel to interior of the city to get my craft supplies:)

Lately, i've been sketching a lot.. It's both fun and relaxing. I tried sketching a girl using Debbyarts tutorial

A look into my sketchbook!

Hello lovelies! hope you are all doing good... It's so hot here in Abu Dhabi especially this month.. There's not a slight breeze even during night times. I find myself spending more of my time indoors drawing while watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Even though i love staying home than going out, i wish the weather changes soon..

Here's one of the page in my sketchbook that i recently finished..

For those who can't figure out what it is... it's my version of galaxy. Hope it looks like one.

We had a sandstorm two days back and the whole place was covered in sand and dust for about an hour. I had a hard time closing my window from the heavy wind..

Sharing wonderful quote by Mark Twain before i leave....

Have a fantastic day everyone :) 

A peek into last week..

Hi friends.. how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Me and my hubby went to mall and watched the latest x-men film Days of our future past. My hubby was so engrossed into the movie while i was busy drooling over Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy :)

Drawing and sketching are my favorite hobby from childhood.. but lately, i didn't get enough time to indulge in it. In order to rectify it, i decided to start an art journal/sketch book. Let's see how far i progress in this..

I also started working on my Sunburst Granny squares which i didn't give much attention to for a long time now.

My current song addiction is One Republic's new song 'Love runs out' . It's a pretty upbeat song that i find myself dancing to the tune many times.



So, what you guys did this weekend? any new projects in mind? Do share your thoughts.. have a great week ahead!
