A week long post..:)

I was writing today's post when I saw a video on FB posted by a friend..Its soo cute..made my eyes all watery..have a look.. you'll like it too...

Now that was yesterday..been writing this post for a while now..:D
So how have u been ???
I have been good..I had every intention of writing down blogs everyday..but was caught up wid things..Well not exactly..You know there are days when u don't want to do things..past few days have been those..:)
So today I want to share my thrift store find with you...
What do you see in the snap below??


Pop of colors on white..:D...thats what a friend of ours said when she came to this weekend. She said I have seen that you tend to favor reds and pinks...To that I said I do(I love bright colors you see..:)..).
But in this case many of the stuff I did/made came from one bolt of fabric..
I thrifted this big bolt of fabric ~ very brightly colored, yellows, fuchsia, reds, oranges.. perfect one for me..n all for $2..:D..you Sometimes find such amazing treasures in thrift stores...So coming back to my fabric..
I got it to make pillow shams for my sofa pillows. That was the first thing I made from it...2 of them..
Then I used it as an ascent for my Fedora..Remeber how I brightened it wid pink..okaaayy..tried to brighten..:D
Next was our Camera strap cover.Did I told ya that we got new lens(a Nikon 18-300mm VR). And man its big n HEAVY...around 1 kg..I can use it instead of dumbbell..:P..We got it because we didnt want to carry 2-3 lenses all the tym..n we are actually verry happy wid the results..so far so good..
So coming back to Camera strap..If we wanted to lug that camera around for a looongg tym(this tym we took it hiking), we needed some neck support.I saw some amazing camera strap covers online. But paying that insane amount of money for them sounded..well Insane...:D..
So..my here comes my thrifted fabric to rescue..cut some stripes, added some batting..lotsa them..in the end hubby dearest had to stop me from adding more..Well I was doing that for him..He's the one who will carry this heavy thing..:D..
Tadaaaa...did u liked it..seem lil scruffy..well it is..what do u expect after a 3 days in wilderness..:D

So there's more to come from this fabric..there's yellows n oranges left to expolre...:)
will keep ya updated..
So my friend Richa asked whether did my back nail-paint came off easily??
yeah it did..Just dunk the nails in nail-paint remover..Is there anything a good bottle of acetone can't do ~ nail-paint, remove sticker marks, permanent marker stains , temporary tattoos, grease..there's soo much it can do..:)
Well that's it for today..this post just ended up being a bit long..:D
you guys have fun..
Looking forward to Friday tomorrow...

My Little Pony - Day spent at Farrel McWhirter Farm

All those who know our kiddo, knows how crazy he's about HORSES!!! So in spirit of fueling his imagination I enrolled him in My Little Pony Class held by Redmond  Parks and Recreation. The class was held at Farrel McWhirter Farm. You can enroll for the class through their website  http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation  and  http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation/farrel-mcwhirter_farm_park_programs/ Our class was scheduled for 9.30 am and we got there much earlier. It helped the Cowboy to get settled in and check out the animals.  He came all dressed up in a cowboy hat(from his halloween costume). There were cows, pigs, bunnies, sheep, chickens n new little goat babies :)...                                                          This was our pony....aaaa..I forgot her name...:|  There were only two kids in the class. They were first told about horses and the brushes n tools used to keep them clean. They were then fitted with hel

Making Ghee (Clarified Butter) - From Butter

Indian Cuisine use Ghee in nearly every dish from savory Pulao/Biryanis to sweet Mithayis.  Traditionally in India Ghee is made from Cow's milk. Ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship. It is thought of free from all impurities, milk residues(Lactose free), and moisture(high shelf life).                                            My mum makes Ghee from full cream that she carefully stores for days.  But here in US we don't cream when we heat the milk . So now I make Ghee at home from Unsalted butter which is quick and easy. I get unsalted butter from Costco...no one can beat Costco for their prices n quality. Ghee is clarified butter. and there is some difference between the two. Here's the process I use the make Ghee. 1. Get Unsalted Butter bricks. Use as many sticks you want to use at one time. I usually use 8- 12 sticks at one time

Yosemite Shuffle

"You guys went hiking??"A guy asked us just when we leaving a restaurant. "Yes!!!" We said. "We call that Yosemite shuffle :)". He said laughing at us. Yosemite Shuffle " is what happens to you after you have hiked in Yosemite..You'll understand it once you have done it.. So we went to Yosemite this long weekend... n we hiked...n hiked..n hiked... We were there for 3 days in Yosemite. We did Panaroma Trail the first day.. Hiking Map(From Glacier Point to Happy Isles) If you are in Yosemite I would highly recommend doing this hike..Worth every scrape, blister, soreness. Even if you end up walking like a zombie,dragging ur feet for next week and half, go for it..!Thats the "Yosemite Shuffle" that guy was talking about..:D..I am a hiking newbie..I like small hikes, on flat surfaces..so this was a big step for me...really a big deal..:)..
