Colorful and happy :)))

Thank you for your lovely comments on my spring doily !!

I am sure you will like this one too :)


I crocheted this lace for my kitchen, will show it again in another post once I hang it there .


I made it with variegated Red Rose knitting cotton . I don't remember the hook size I used, may be, 2.5 mm. The lace is around 2 metres long .


The pattern is from the book, '150 favourite crochet designs', by Dover Needlework Series .


The hand mirror that you see on the first picture is the one which I have been using for the past 6 years . Its always in my purse . I feel if the mirror is beautiful, you will look beautiful ;) lol....just kidding . This is the back side of it . Some of the stones have come out after these many years but I still love it . It is a handmade piece with beads and sequins on the lacquer .


Last week we attended parent teacher meeting in Anshita's school .

The above was her last year's result, all excellent grades, and she got latest iPod nano from me . This year I had a doubt and I made up my mind for few less grades . But.....

She made it this year too :) All A1s and As !! They are the highest grades in Part 1 and Part 2 respectively .  So she got a bigger gift..... Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 . 

Now I really don't approve of this gift and she certainly doesn't know that I did not buy it but we got it free when we purchased new TV . Anyways she will get to know if she reads this post but it totally depends on me whether to give ownership to her or not . When it comes to online surfing, I am a strict mom . But yes, I am very happy that she did very well in class VII and now she is in class VIII :)) This was something I usually do not share with a picture but I couldn't stop feeling proud :)

Few days back, I was upset for some reason and in the evening, I received a parcel which cheered me up :) Last month,  I won a giveaway hosted by a lovely blogger friend Kate from 'Stitches, Scraps and Sparkles in the Sun' . She is a versatile blogger, crocheting and stitching and a very busy mom . I am always inspired by the amount of energy and enthusiasm she has for everything in life . Thank you, Kate !! :) I am glad to have those and I will definitely squeeze in at least one project this year . 








There are total 28 booklets on various themes :) And there are lots that I can see I am going to stitch . 

The summers are on but still the temperatures are stable . Next month Anshita will have half day school and then by April end she would have 1.5 months of summer break !! We both are anxiously looking forward to it :)

Have a great weekend!

    Congratulations to Anshita, and good for you for giving gifts, I think this encourages children to continue to do well in school.

  14. Oohhhh, beautiful lace you have made! I would be scared to use something so lovely in the kitchen but I am a very messy cook haha. Great stash win, love those towel designs.

    Congrats to Anshita, she did so well in school. I think rewards for grades are okay as long as they are rewards and not bribes. :D

  20. Your crochet lace is beautiful, a lovely way to make a banner and a nice change from bunting which is very popular here in England.
    Your daughter's report is excellent, she must be a very hard worker. I am fascinated by the other qualities she is graded on, that is very interesting to me. In a English report those qualities might be mentioned in a Personal Profile but I've not seen them graded in the same way as the academic subjects. It's a good way of making sure the children have well-rounded personalities. It must be nice for the less academic children to still get A grades for their behaviour too.
