Crocheted baby flip flop sandals

It's been a while since I made any baby stuff. This morning there was a sudden and a very strong craving for it. And so I just had to stop everything I was working on and crochet these little sandals. I thought it was my grand idea ...until I stumbled upon so many similar ones online :(. Hmmm....but then how original can baby sandals get ?? But I loved making these and want to make them in many colours.Here is another picture ...just because :)

Wise little owls

I just love these little guys. My son grabbed the first one off the hooks:)There seems to be a craze of Owl-y things these days.Everywhere you look there are owl cushions, bedsheets, cards, door hangers , wall hangings etc...How can one avoid such cuties? These key-chains are not my own patterns but are inspired from so many crocheted owls online. You can see that the pattern varies slightly from one to another ...

Spring and flowers

April showers are already over and the pretty little blooms can be seen everywhere ! I love this time of the year. There is a beautiful fragrance in the air especially in the evenings and through the night. The whole of Al Ain smells like a bouquet of fresh flowers. This kind of weather inspires me to make flowers...Here are few ponytail holders and clips I have been working on. Yes, more flowers to come ...will post post pictures later. A few more pretties ...

Crochet candle holders

As usual this space has been quite for a while now. But that is because so much has been happening both in the crafting front as well as life. There is so much to tell and share ....I hardly know where to begin! So I guess I'll begin by sharing some of my projects. These are tea light holders with ruffled edges that are a bit glittery. I love the way the it sparkles when the candle light hits it. And because it looked so cute I went ahead and made another with a golden edge. This too looks very pretty when the candle is lit. Pity the pictures don't do justice. Or maybe I just need to improve my photography skills. And then finally a candle holder without the frills, with simple lines. it is white with silver specks.

Card with Quilling

This is the first time I joined a card swap....and it was such fun. The theme was fancy folds feminine card. I realised that getting those tricky folds is no kids play. The importance of right measurements and precise cutting has finally dawned on me. I tried to make a card with a some sophisticated folds and how I crashed. After ruining plenty of good cardstock ( yup, dumb of me not to try it first with some scrap papers) I finally gave in and decided on a simple one. I have to admit I was not happy about it. Waiting for my scoreboard and then I will try afresh !! This is the card I finally made. I hope my swap partner likes it.

2013 and crochet baby hat

2013 Already ..... I was out of town vacationing when the year changed and I was hoping to come back with a great big , picture heavy post of my holidays etc....Well, that didn't happen. The silly usb with all the pics is still avoiding me . Waited all this time...no more. Time to move on. A lot happened , mostly good , and we had a great time all in all. Couple of weddings , social events, medical issues and a short trip to Ooty, my birthday , the new year etc.... Anyways ,it's good to be back home and settled into to the usual routine. I have a few projects I'm working on currently, almost done. Some are done but haven't yet reached my friends so cannot post pictures yet. So I leave you with a picture...... This is a picture of a baby hat I had finished just before I left. It has removable flowers to match with different outfits. Now I'm toying with the idea fo designing a little outfit to go with it and booties too.

Crochet Snowflakes for christmas

I've been waiting for such a long time to make crocheted snowflakes. With so much going on there was hardly any time on hand to get started. But finally last couple of days were spent on the little pretties. Just the designs of the snowflakes are so pretty...I've always been fascinated by it. I wish someday I get see real snowfall. I've seen plenty of hail storms and those are not anything lacy....just cute little pebbles of ice. Here are some of the snowflakes I turned up :

And the final round -up. All the snowflakes together :
