Dressed -up Digits

Hi Everyone!!! It's a gorgeous day out today.  We've got a bright sunny day--it's in the low 80's.Today I was clearing and organising my stash of cosmetics and jewellery  as my in laws are supposed to come in few weeks,so i was doing some cleaning around.While going through the nail polishes,this idea struck me.
I have always had a great love for and been passionate about nail polishes,I love learning more and trying out new things.But yet I am not very much into very vibrant neon colors as is the trend these days,so I have got none like that in my collection.
Even from those I tried to create a nail art that I originally found in pinterest.the colors are not the same but similar.This is the result.Its my first ever try on nail art.I know,its a bit clumsy.











No matter how hard I tried I felt my lines were not crisp enough.And I don't even have any nail art tools at my disposal also.All I did was drawing free hand with the nail polish brush.
Anyways I kind of liked it.and wish to try some more in future.

For this I started with a base coat .then a solid coat of 
the icing polish in Bordeaux except the ring finger.I painted the ring finger in street wear color rich enamel in Blue bell.then I free handed the color blocking with the Sinful colors             and the same blue.

 the original pic from pinterest is like this,

what I am loving these days!

Hi all,How are you all doing?
After a long long time! My dear blog has been so neglected in the past few months..so much going on in my life right now..and with a baby coming around ,and lots of shifting,things as it is aren't very easy..crafting has  to take a backseat.But still I was all determined after my last post to blog at least once in a week, but no,that did not happen. I know I am being very lazy these days,but cant help,my body is demanding rest.
This is yet again a short  and super quick post.
This is about a candle that I purchased recently at Walmart,that I am greatly enjoying these days.For sometime I have heard about the candles from Better Homes & Gardens at Wal-Mart!but never got them actually.This time I did get one. These big 18-ounce jar candles cost right around $5.Plus there were others too in a set of 6 both small and big ones mixed for just 10 bucks.Quite a deal.Moreover there is a wide variety of fragrances to choose from.I got mine  in tropical plumeria petals.It has got a kind of tropical flowery distinct scent,which is not too strong but not to feeble,yet refreshing and soothing.




I love these candles because they're big & burn a long time... but they also truly smell-up a room! (is that the right terminology? ha ha) After they burn for awhile and some hot wax develops at the top of the candle- they're just so fragrant. And I love my flame less candles... but I still really enjoy the look & scent of one of these lovely candles!

Homemade chipotle style burrito bowl





Today afternoon I had nothing significant to do,was kind of getting through the phase of boredom , so was going through the old photos, and then I found these.These are taken at least 2 to 3 months back. On a rain drenched weekend night I was lazy and complaining of cooking dinner, then my hubby came up with the idea , let's try some our own version of burrito bowl.While staying in USA, we often used to have the Mexican chipotle burrito bowls and both of us liked it. Doing something new imbibes some kind of energy in me so at once went in to try it out, and this was the outcome.The only difference was,that it was a veg one,as I had no chicken at home(you all know how it is in India,never use frozen chicken), and the corn was also missing.  Still it was a good try according to my hubby, with all Indian ingredients.

Quilling time




 Welcome my dear friends! Here is a new creation.For today I have these flowers  - an attempt of framed quilling work . Such a hard work!!! I made this for my parents house. This project was a huge challenge for me as in this for the first time I tried to do some 3d effects along with layering .The stems here are done with floral metal wires which I wrapped with green paper.These wires give the small white flowers a lifted look.The white frame is also fully handmade using white paper and glued to the background cardboard wrapped  with black paper.I would admit that I got the inspiration from another fabulous quilling blog,quilling by manuk, but I have done a lot of alterations and implemented my own ideas . I`ll let you watch the pictures. 







Thank you for visiting my blog, I`m amazed with every new day by this world of blogging.Please do leave comments and let me know if you like it.
