This is my first post from Pune. Yes we’ve shifted! Again!!! But Pune is my happy place so apart from the not-at-all enviable task of shifting I’m very happy to be back here. In the time between my last post and now its my little sister who’s turned into a serious blogger and I’m super […]
On Sunday I made it to the last day of Dastkar Nature Bazaar. And I’m so glad I did. The last few weeks have been a bit crazy and this exhibition came as a welcome break. Shopping at such places can be quite daunting – everything looks so beautiful you want to buy everything!! Some […]
We moved to our current house in December and though it had light fixtures, the living room was missing a central light source. So I thought – Why not have fairy lights in the living room 🙂 I love fairy lights. I think they are just magical. I’ve always had them in my Craft Room. […]
I have always stored my craft supplies in discarded boxes – shoe boxes, detergent boxes, etc. And I have tried to prettify them in various ways. I’ve in the past tried decoupaging them but pattern paper turns out to be quite expensive and a constant supply of a particular pattern is never assured. I wanted […]
I have always wanted to write about my lovely house on my blog. An opportunity for the same came knocking in the form of ‘Starter Stories’, a series started by Compass.com (a New York City based real estate platform), where bloggers write about their first / current house and how they made it their home.

We reached the restaurant to find that it was bursting at its seams and the staff wasn’t coping. It was absolute mayhem. We […]
Like any crafter more storage space always features on my wish list. In my previous post, I had mentioned how the house that we recently moved into, though a lovely place, is short on storage space. I had to find a home for my craft supplies and craft books. And with that in mind, we […]
Wishing you all a very very Happy New Year!! Hope this year has begun on a wonderful note for you. I am glad that 2014 has come to an end. The last few months were particularly stressful. We had to shift to another house since the owner of the house that we were living in […]
My mother loves the colour mustard . It works very well with grey. And that’s what inspired this baby blanket. Its a simple rectangular blanket in garter stitch knit with 4.5 mm needles which gives it an open texture. The border is crocheted in a shell stitch pattern. It measures around 30 x 36 […]
Remember the palazzo pants I made early last year. This is from the same pattern. I used cotton this time and to make my culottes just reduced the length. Medium weight cotton worked just great and it was really nice to work with cotton after so long. I used one of my machine stitches to […]
