Something to think about...

I want to be a little NUT.....!

Hope you all are having a good week!

Creative rambling

It's been a while since I did some creative rambling on this space....so let me share with you, what has kept my hands busy in the past month or so....here are some in-progress projects and crafts. 

 Inspired by Kanika's bird hangings... I used a blue kurti that I wore on Holi last year, another old one that was put to use earlier as well; and made a bird and a heart....I plan to make a few more of these and then hang them in a group:)

One missed afternoon nap (for my son...) and this is how I amused him.... by painting this rock owl, inspiration found here

It's been a long time since I held my brushes, wanted to do another Ganesha painting. Here is a sketch of what I'll be painting soon....

And finally, a set of coasters made with IKEA paper napkins, tiles and some mod podge. My sister and I did this quick project while I was visiting her.

If you haven't already, check out these coasters at Sarmistha's blog.....she did a great job!

Have a good week!

Snapshots from CA

A few shots from my trip to Santana row....

Santana row is an upscale shopping and eating complex in San Jose. I love the European feel of this place with its bistro kind of eating joints and some of my favorite stores to browse. While I was there, I went in to the Anthropologie store....the window display was very impressive...unfortunately, I missed taking a picture to share with you all. 

With the pleasant California weather, lunch at one of its outdoor seating restaurants is such a pleasing experience. 

Seating nooks on the side walk

Lovely architecture

Summer blooms everywhere....

 Outside Cocola Bakery....where we had our lunch....

...and then bubble tea at Fantasia!

Huge mosaic planters on the side walk

kids enjoyed playing at this fountain

Hope you are having a wonderful week!
