Sewing Up Something Again

Sewing Machine Cover
Heloo...I was at work again. Couldn't keep my fingers from fiddling and I managed to sew up a cover for my sewing machine.I just wanted to take a break from my crochet project and managed to sew up this machine cosy. Now my sewing machine looks cool and cosy. Hope you like the cool blue lacy cover.


































Currently, I am working on a crochet basket, being made from cotton yarn , which I have dyed with natural color/dye. I hope I am able to complete it soon so that I can share it with you all.

Beautiful world

Beautiful World: The Wellington Winter Carnival

In my search for discovering beautiful things around me , the Wellington winter carnival definitely fits in. A beautiful sunny morning , loads of happy people and music around, and the bright and colorful stalls all making it into a picture perfect day. Loads of craftsmen and vendors from in and around Wellington , Nilgiris, had gather to sell and showcase their stuff. Wellington is a quiet little village close to Coonoor with most of its evergreen hills covered wit tea gardens.This beautiful heaven on earth has a beautiful and rich military history to add to its charm.









As I settle down with my cup to tea in my cosy room to share this event with you, all the shouting and noise that filled the air this morning still rings through my ears. A picture perfect setting for a picture perfect event.

I also did my share of buying and bought some beautiful roles of crochet lace and I am really excited about the new projects in which I am going to use them.










I got yards and yards of this gorgeous lace.
