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...

Chandni O meri Chandni!!!

So I was writing today's blog when I came across Sridevi's new movie "English Vinglish". She's coming back to movies after a long hiatus. This and her recent appearence for the First look for the movie got me thinking that at nearly 50(celebrated her 49th birthday yesterday), she still looks stunning.So scratched all that I had written earlier n started new again. Just this weekend we talking among our friends about Sridevi that how gorgeous she looks.The way way she's looking nowadays, she is giving the 20 something wannabe of Bollywood a run for money. With Priyanka Chopra @ NDTV Greenathon @ Apsara Awards 2012 @ IIFA 2012 @ Bhagnani-Deshmukh Sangeet @ Park Hyaat Launch @ Lakme Fashion Week   @ DCW 2012 I have always been a Sridevi fan. Her Sadma and Lamhe are among my all time favorite movies. I think at that time when actress were there to look good, she was the only one who played such wo...

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 Uns...

Eye Exam!!!

So We went to Ophthalmologist(read eye doctor) today!!! It was my first real eye exam!!!and at 8.30 in morning..well I have nothing to say for that.. Hubby dearest was having his eyes tested so I tagged along with him.. I found it very funny and entertaining.. unlike the dental exams...:D..It went well!!! No specs yet..ALL IS WELL!! The difficult part was living with the dilated pupils for hours..At first when she squirted that yellow liquid and afterwards another one.. everything seemed normal..But when I couldn't even make out the date on my phone, it began to sink in... Imagine no laptop, no phone,no mails, NO FACEBOOK ;)... even cloudy Seattle seemed brighter..Everything was blurred..Even calling up my Maa was difficult as I couldn't make out her name!!!...It definitely took more than 3 hours that my doc said..:P.. n afterwards it wasn't much fun either...So I slept..Sleep is the best remedy to everything.. So my day started at 4 pm today..:D ...
