Year 2015 ....what I am upto ?

2014 saw few changes in me. The highlights being - I started cooking more, I formally started designing my crochet patterns.

Come new year, and I have all the excuses to say that resolutions are meant for breaking and therefore I don't make any. I thought I was wise and smart. But I have observed that if I list out some task, I complete quite a few. If I don't, I miss most of them. After seeing my blogger friends updating their resolution/goals/missions, I decided to formally list down mine as well. So, here is quite a big list, some of which, I already started working on.

On 25th and 26th Dec, after 6 years, we had been to 'Ramoji Film city' in the outskirts of city. It is world's largest film studio complex spread in 1666 acres. It was fun. I still need to shortlist the photos as they are spread across two phones and a camera.


We also did shopping but what attracted me outside the flower nursery was this mini compact seed packet - 39 varieties and a slip of paper with information just for 150 INR (2 USD). I had been spending a lot on buying seed packets online which is just waste of money on packaging. I have to separate them in little pouches and Anshita did the labelling task for me :)



What I cooked last week- 3 special items but took picture of only two.



Matar Kachori : These are balls stuffed with coarsely ground greenpeas and some spices .


Gajar ka Halwa : A sweet made of Carrot, milk, sugar and few more items.

I am working on two crochet projects, one large and one doily. I hope I can share one of these by next week. My link party 'Messy-to-Classy' is open to join any time. Just check the top menu bar for more information.

Have a nice day!
Preeti :)

  2. Does anyone actually get used to paying bills? :) Deleting unnecessary images from the phone and computer; deleting emails; cleaning and organizing ... all very time consuming tasks, which is why I am constantly putting them off though I try to do a little here and there. Good luck with your list. Tammy

  21. Inspiring list preeti. some of them are also in my list. I like to cook different items for my family.But u know these needles, thread and yarn overcomes it. Whenever I see u'r gardening related things I am inspired to do gardening coz I have lot of space in front of my house but don't have any knowledge about it. But I should try that this year atleast.

  27. Gosh your list of resolutions is longer than mine. Where does one find time to read when there are so many things to stitch? I love reading, but just fall asleep now after reading two lines. I´m adding your " think less and worry less" to my list also.

    Thank you Preeti for the your lovely comment on my blog.

  32. You sure have loads planned for this year Preeti :) Those treats look yummy! You should post your recipes - there's a very large Indian community here so I often just buy the kachori unfried and keep them in my freezer for when I have unexpected guests!
