Illustration friday

Illustration friday – Idle

Tagged!!

I haven’t posted here since long. Same excuses – lack of creativity, lack of time, hectic work schedules, and a good news

So a tag is the perfect post to return with. I was tagged by the sweet and damn creative Myam to write about six unimportant things that make me happy. It was so, so difficult.. really try it

Rules of the tag:

1. Mention the person who nominated you.
2. List 6 unimportant things that make you happy.
3. Tag 6 blogs, state the rules, and notify them with a teeny comment on their blog.

Here we go:

1. My flat stomach. Hehe.

2. Gorgeously divine footwear that make my feet look beautiful.

3. Exquisite, expensive packaging.

4. Nail paints! I dunno how many colors I actually use but to have those colored bottles lined up, sitting prettily is soo cute!

5. A bathroom shelf full of bright, cutely packaged products.

6. Handmade soaps.

I am tagging Jessica, Corry, Eleanor, Patricia, ChinaMama and Nancy.

Brooches for friends

I made brooches for two beloved friends. You know how it’s in winters – brooches look so darn retro on coats and scarfs and bags and stuff. I think it will be useful, and I do hope they like them.

scampering about…

a christmas diary

He-who-must-not-be-named gave me two diaries. I have been writing journals since I was kid and hence this was a cherished gift. They are beautiful, a plain brown cover and lovely pages begging  to be written on.

And then I thought – why not try decoupage on one of them? It’s my second decoupage project, and came out beautifully. I think I will write in it everyday…

I picked up a wonderfully Christmasy design from this beautiful blog.

on my wall

It’s winter and i don’t feel like crawling out of my warm, cozy bed once I am in. But you know how it is? Once you are all packed, nice and warm under your blanket, you have this sudden idea about a pink monkey or a task which is so very important and you are afraid of forgetting it. You  have it write it down so you have to get your butt out in the cold.

Because I’m a lazy bum and totally HATE to get up, I made this “quick-to-make” wall organiser. It’s made of an old pillowcase (I love its color, even though its faded). Three sides are already done up for you, and all you need to do is pick up some strong ribbon/fabric and stitch it the pillowcase, looping it around a hanger. There! All done! You can of course, do patchwork, make lots of pockets or decorate with ribbon / laces / whatever.

And just hang it right beside your bed. I have put in a planner, pen, a little diary, some colors and  my hand cream. Here’s to lazier winters!

Don’t Fake it!

Which colors you prefer? (yes, I love both).

Teddylicious

A lil cushion for my lil teddy. I guess it’s more like a pillow for him
He loves it so much, that he doesn’t go to bed without it

Calender 09 – finished!

1. Download the calendar – available here – and print on a thick sheet of paper.
2. Cut out the months using a sharp craft knife.
3. As a last step, take a CD jewel case, flip it inside out and insert the current month in it.
4. Your calender is ready!

See, just four simple steps!

As I’ve mentioned before, this is only for personal usage, and not to be used for any commercial purpose. Happy downloading!

beginings…

New header, and new calender for a new year.

Calender 09 – sneak peek:

It will not appeal to everyone, so it is a gamble. But i loved creating it, loved it’s simplicity, it’s strange colors…I have tried to match the illustrations and hue with the month. Hope I’ve succeeded.

P.S.: Will it uploading it shortly to be downloaded.
