Good to be back !!!!!!!

Hi !!!!!


 I am back after a short break and it feels really great. I have been planning to get away from crafts, blogging etc as it was getting quite monotonous for me. So to recharge myself I had to switch off my creative mind for a while. I don't know about you but I have to follow this regime once a while.

I have spent these days lazying around, entertaining guests and cooking and cooking. Actually cooking is the best therapy to de-stress yourself. I got lot of new cook books, watched videos on youtube and cooked new dishes for my kids. Both of them are just loving it. But I can't say the same for my husband because  the grocery bills have just gone up this month!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's  see what I have got for you guys. I have been planning to give ribbon embroidery a try for a while now but didn't had the supplies for the same. A friend of mine had been kind enough to get me the supplies from Old Delhi and this is what I made.

For this project I have used white cotton matte fabric.I have tried to use as many colors as I possibly could. Ribbon size used are 12 mm and 1/4". Primary Stitches used are :-


1.   Spiderweb roses
2.   French Knot
3.   Leaf Stitch
4.   For the border I have used  Buttonhole stitch

Have used beads at the center of flowers.

 This is a gift for my friend Theresa and I hope she likes it.


Thanks for visiting !!!

Beaded Blooms

Hello friends !!!!

I had a wonderful Dusshera Break. My family & i had gone out on vacations. I hope u also enjoyed Durga Puja with ur family and friends.

I got hold of this lovely book on French Beading, by Carol Benner. By following very simple and easy steps this book takes you through various techniques of weaving beautiful flowers. This technique is referred to as the French Beading technique, whereby we use only wires and beads and create lovely blooms by just twisting them.Though on surface these flowers might look difficult to create, but believe me once you get acquainted with the technique, there is nothing simpler than this.

One can do various things with this beading craft. Like create jewellery, fashion accessories. Can also be combined with crochet to enhance the look and so on.

These are the few projects that i have learnt and created with the help of this book.

I hope you like them. Will try to  hunt for links on french beading, and will share it with you in next blog posts.

Have a nice day & Shubho Vijoya to everybody !!!!
