5 Steps to Instant Gratification

Step 1 : Pick up a yummy color thread/yarn and your favorite hook.

Step 2 : Learn the cutest stitch in town aka the Star Stitch and do a swatch of this stitch.

Step 3 Whip up a super easy but very addictive flower and adorn it with your choicest button.

Step 4: Search for an old/dull object which needs a make over.

 

Step 5: Combine the star stitch swatch with the flower and round of any unfinished business to give the dull object a brand new, hippy hoppy sunshine make over.

Ta-daaah..there you go! Arnt you perfectly happy now :)

Weekend gone by...

Yesterday was officially my first night out with just the little people. The father being out on a business trip, I was left at the mercy of my two little ones. Hooky work took s back seat as i had to get 3 meals and bed times organised :) Oh boy! these kids know how to drive away the boredom blues. Not a spare minute between the two. And being a Sunday, it was time off for my domestic helper too..Why do sundays come once a week??? They should come once a month. Honestly i do miss her..and the Little Miss's moods swings are exponentially proportionally to her absence! Well i did not get a single chain done today, but i managed the meals and the sleeps..Mr Smiley, a food lover, rejected his dinner tho.Ahh you cant have it all i said to myself.

Back to some hooky business, there has been this color combination running in my head for a long time. Thought of making up a pen stand jacket before moving on to bigger things. This was done a while ago, but putting it up now.

SO got a simple stand, this was the cheapest one available at the local store.

 

...and now this is how it looks!

 

One happy little project to fill in some mindless minutes. You can also catch a glimpse of Mr. Smiley reaching out for his new toy.

PS : Mr smiley sat up on his own today!!! Yiee...how time flies!He is already standing with support since a week, and today he is sitting completely on his own...Now Running-around-the-house time is officially on for both the kids! The brighter side - i am gonna loose some baby weight(hopefully!!)
