Making of our chalkboard..

Thank u all for the wishes for us n baby..:)...

Both me n my hubby like the idea of having chalkboard in house.
To do list, random messages/ thoughts there is so much you can do on a chalkboard...
So we thought about getting one for our home too...but the ones we liked were too pricey for my taste n the ones which were coming in our budget were kinda sucked..:P..
We decided to make one ourselves...
As we rent a apartment we didnt wanted something big, space beign so premium..:D..
We got a old painting from Goodwill..that place is my disneyland I tell u...;)...

We loved the clean lines n thickness of the frame.
I double checked about the painter n painting on Google....I was hoping maybe we would end up with a gem of a painting worth millions..in my dreams...:P..too much of Antique Roadshow I guess..
Then began the process of cleaning and sanding...

n taping

n painting

n taping again..

Sand it well or else u'll end up with blotchy paint..:P

n here's the final look of the chalkboard...

In India the first thing children learn to write is "OM"...thats what we started from...:)

This was my hubby's pet project, n you should have seen his face all brightened up when he completed it...:)

Its been more than 6-7 months since we made this..n have used this in numeral time...

Will post some pics of it soon...

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....

My Louboutins!!!

So what do you do when the NFL season starts and all you have on TV is Football, more football and a little Tennis thrown in between..??? Well!!!..you paint nails..simple..:) I love wearing nailpaints..I change it quite often..Hate chipped nailcolors..which make me change it more frequently..:D..Not big on fancy nailarts..the phool-patti designs are simply not for..:P..For me nailart means painted tips, maybe some stripes if m being adventurous..You get it..right?? So when I saw Adele(I soo dig her red lips) wearing a shimmery silver nailpaint with crimson painted on back of nails,I was a gonner.She matched the sparkles of her shoes with her nailpaint, and the back of nailpaint matched the signature Louboutin sole..I think the idea is fun.. Well that was the Grammy Night many ages ago... I totally forgot about that until I was reading about the Louboutin nails.."Painting the back of nails in red" just like the shoes.Well now I don't have that k...
