Art of Henna:

This is something which most of the gals love wearing, and is an art which in as inherent part of any function or festival. I still remember, as kids, we used to wait for the holidays to come (cos we were not allowed in school) and rush to the shop to buy a cone and use it to decorate our hands. This was like a half yearly ritual. Years later, I realized my love for putting mehendi and since then, have been practicing various designs on book or hands (whoever is ready to lend theirs J), but have never thought of taking pics. So the pics here are recent ones taken from my mobile. More pics to follow.

These were taken in 2007 when I put mehendi for my mom...

These r the ones which I put recently for my niece....

Knitting project

I have started recently on this project after getting inspired by a cousin of mine whose deft hands knitted a huge scarf within days. She taught me the basics and then I learnt the rest through Youtube videos. There are some really good videos which teach u the ABC s of knitting. I was not tat keen on knitting a scarf cos we rarely use scarves in our place where its blazing hot most of the time. I was in search of something which was easy to do and useful to all, when I found cellphone covers in the internet. .That was my first project. Although it took time to learn the variety of stitches, this holder was completed in 2 days. Right now, am working on knitting a purse for my mom.

Well, I wasnt very satisfied with the handle but I was desperate to complete it, so finished it off like this..
