Well , the latter part of the title has got nothing to do with my post ...ha ha...just that I could not think of any title and this sounded good so I added it :)
Here is the feather in my cap . My first cross stitch design , Summer cards , got published in the April-June 2017 issue of the ' Anchor Needle n Thread ' magazine , India :)
Life was busy last few weeks . Anshita's summer vacation started from 21st April . We attended my cousin's wedding last month and met my family and relatives . Anshita wore a lehenga/half-sari . It is similar to a sari with top and long skirt but the wrap around is just two meters instead of five meters . She was looking very cute !! :)
Anshita with her cousin , Piyush (my brother's son)
I also made mehendi/henna for her . I am not good at it but I managed to make her happy :)
Also , visited a newly opened craft store and got some random stash .
Burlap ribbons and hemp ropes
Some assorted things - mini easels , watering can chalkboard
textured paper and felt sheets , mini chalkboard for my craft room
Few buttons and sewing supplies
Hobby books (purchased online)
I am enjoying Anshita's company at home with ACs and electricity bills running all time high :) We got self-ligating dental braces fitted for her and now, after two weeks, the discomfort has reduced and she can eat regular food instead of soft mashed ones .
Hope you are doing well and enjoying your time :)
Happy crafting !!
Preeti

Cheers for your published pattern, Preeti! I am so excited for you, and I am glad that your beautiful work will have the opportunity to be more widely appreciated. It is good to see your beautiful Anshita. I had nearly two months off blogging and am just now catching up reading your posts I missed. Belatedly, Happy Birthday! I am sorry your thumb got cut, but glad that it is healed and that you have had good travels and fun attending a wedding. Your lovely stitching always inspires me. I am planning an embroidery piece like my mom made when she was in her teens. I showed the embroidery sampler she made in a post a few back. xx
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have your designs published in a magazine! Congratulations! Anshita looks lovely.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Preeti!! wonderful to be published in the magazine :D
ReplyDeleteYour daughter look amazing! Beautiful clothes!! It's amazing to see such different things from other countries, not only the clothes but the hand painting :) And I would say you did a great work :D Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on getting your designs published!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks lovely and the henna is wonderful. My son is also having braces and doesn't enjoy the discomfort each time they are tightened but it will be worth it in the end.
You got some great new stitchy supplies too, I have some of those little easels. You can easily colour them with marker pen if you don't want raw wood. I used black pen for my Hallowe'en display.
Congratulations on being published!
ReplyDeleteGreat family pictures, your daughter looks gorgeous.
A very tempting post heading :-)
