Weekend stash and some crochet !

Finally , I managed to squeeze out some time to prepare a post . I was a bit tired after Diwali and was just taking rest , surfing through your blogs and exploring new blogs too . Some new ones returned back to explore mine . Few bloggers visited by chance and joined me and I reciprocated whole heartedly :) In all , I am satisfied with the current status of my blog , that my blogging is surely not going to be shut down soon !:) Earlier, I had thought if I do not reach a milestone of 25 followers within six months , then I might shut down my blog or make it private . I have surpassed my expectations ! Thanks to all of you for your kind support !! :) I have promised my daughter a toy when I reach a follower count of 100 ! She anyways gets a toy twice a month ; for kids , thirst for toys never ends ! I haven't decided for you all but will figure out something that I can share with as many of you ! :)

Let 's meet my new friends .

They all have wonderful blogs and some of them have outstanding projects to look and learn ! Do visit them ; I am sure you will like them :)

I am diligently working on the crochet tablecloth which I mentioned in my post here  but not sure how long I can control my itch to start a new project :)

This is a flared rose which I made for my daughter as an embellishment ! I haven't weaved-in the ends as she is yet to decide about where to attach it .

I made this little doily from the book '99 little doilies' with size 20 anchor thread . I liked the overlapping design in yellow near the border .

This is the Rangoli I drew for my daughter on Diwali outside our doorstep and she colored it . It is generally made with fine , sand like white powder which is eco-friendly . I got eco-friendly colors and mixed with this white powder to get other colors ! It is not easy to fill; you cannot touch the base for supporting the fingers . She has done a good job ! :) Many Rangolis look like mandalas or doilies .

Couple of weeks back , I enjoyed some beads , buttons and local yarn shopping . I have a collection of sequins and seed beads but for regular beads I felt I was eating into my daughter's treasure of jewellery making kits picking the nicer ones . So I decided to buy some :)

  7. hey preeti thanks a bunch for publishing a link to my blog. Its ofcourse a dream to have several followers. I have a blog from so many years and I know its being visited by a handful. Keeping a tab of my work gives me a lot of satisfaction even though I do not get much attention, but ofcourse I do feel very encouraged when someone joins.
    I guess I too will start introducing people on my blog - those who comment and who join. Not to increase my joinees but as a way to show my gratitude. Atleast that is something I can learn from a fellow crafter (you). Thanks for the idea and thanks for linking again

  12. Hi Preeti, What a lovely bead collection. I came across a Japanese pattern for a glass cover which is a doily with beads at the ends so that it stays on the glass. I hope to find the right beads to make it. Which thread do you use to make your doily? Can't wait to see your projects made with your new yarn collection. Congrats on reaching 75 followers. :)

  17. Hi Preeti, you now have 20 followers to go to reach your mark. My cousin started me blogging 3-1/2 years ago. It's truly been an enjoyable experience. I've "met" so many lovely people -- actually have met a couple of bloggers in person. And my crochet skills have improved so much. I've tried things I never dreamed of. That crochet book of doilies sounds like a nice one. I like the colors you used for your little doily. Hard to find really good craft books here -- most of them are in Japanese and I have a hard time understanding the diagrams for crochet. My brain just doesn't function that way -- I need the written pattern, and sometimes I still don't always understand. :) The rose for your daughter is lovely, too. I've made some crocheted and beaded bracelets in the past -- would like to make some necklaces, too. Hope you have a wonderful day. Best wishes, Tammy

    Your daughter's stash of beads has given me an idea. I know my grand-daughter has a box of beads somewhere too I wonder if she'll mind if I raid it!!! I think I better ask first LOL!
    Many thanks for your comments on my previous post.
