Abu dhabi finally!

Hello friends, after a long wait, i moved to abu dhabi last week! been busy unpacking that i didn't get time to post.. Just beginning to settle in here and exploring all the shops nearby (which is my favorite thing to do). There's still a lot more work to do so my projects are on hold for now..

Here are some amigurumi dolls and keychains i made for my family before leaving India

A small bunny for my sister

 This little duckie for my mom who loves ducks so much. It's a free pattern from The Itsy Bitsy Spider Crochet

These teddy key chains for my brother and two little cousins

Made these from a pattern by  Tales of twisted fibers

Before leaving, i want to share this lovely quote that i came across recently

will catch up with you all soon. Have a wonderful day!

Ripple dreams...

Is it normal to get dreams about the projects you're working on??? because, i always seem to have crazy dreams about crocheting whenever I start making a new and exciting project..
Recently most of my dreams are about this Ripple crochet blanket I've been making for my mother in law.

The free pattern is available on attic 24             
This  is one of my first big project and I can't wait to finish!! The only drawback is it requires a lot of patience and time

 

will come up with the finished blanket soon!! Happy crocheting! 

 

This week in colors..

Hi friends, hope you had a wonderful week. I had a lovely time with family celebrating my cousin's house warming party..

 

Me and my cousins decorated lovely flowers in a large watered vessel. We also colored rangoli at the entrance of the house (too bad it got smudged already when I took the snap :( )

 

 

 

 

In house warming ceremony, its Indian tradition to boil milk till it overflows. The boiling over of milk denotes that new house and family will overflow with prosperity. Later the boiled milk was given to the guests.

 

Now onto the project I've been making..

 

 

I made some colorful sunburst granny squares. You can find the tutorial from Nittybits

 

I added another row similar to row 3 to make it a bit different from normal sunburst granny squares. Will soon let you know what I did with this colorful granny squares.

 

I also made a small bumblebee amigurumi for my cousin and now it's hanging proudly in her schoolbag :)

 

 

 

I got a huge surprise today when I heard that Tammy selected me as winner for her Grow your blog party giveaway! I'm so excited as this is my first ever blog giveaways win.. Do check out her blog. She is such a wonderful person!! 

Finally a big thank you for my blogger friends for making my blog colorful with your lovely comments and compliments.. Have a great week ahead!

 

 



 

Quilled earrings..

Hi friends, hope you are having a wonderful day. It's nearly a week and Grow your blog party is still going on! I'm really glad i joined this blog party and gained many lovely friends through it all thanks to Vicki.
Rmember the time when i made a quilled card without quilling paper and tools?? Well this time i did manage to buy some quilling papers.. I wanted to make a quick project with it for the first time so i came up with the idea of making ear rings..

    

 

 

 

 

knowing my love for making crafts, my brother gifted me colorful quilling papers, tools along with some yarns.. Such a thoughtful gift it was!

 

 

Now, what shall i do with them next??? Will see you guys with a new post soon..
