Back after a long break.

I was really really busy with my grand children and I was not able to do any embroidery.But managed to stitch a frock for my granddaughter TARA.As Deepa wrote in her blog about thrifty moms,I too do the same .Saving all fabric pieces remaining to use in the future.This is one such piece which I stitched for my daughter 6 years back:).After long long time I am stitching a frock.Waiting for your views and comments..I will soon post a picture of the little angel wearing the dress....

Rangoli

Here is something interesting that I want to share with you all.I was very impressed when I saw this.The basic drawing was done by my brothers son in law and the rangoli colouring was done by his sister.Don't you think this is a stunning piece of work?

From The US :)

We arrived in the US  and are having a great time with our daughter and grand children.My first grandson (Rishi)is turning 5 this 20th and he remembered us  and instantly sprang into my hands.The smaller one(Tara) is just 1 1/2 year old  and had problem in relating to  us immediately as she was just 4 months old when we saw her last..It is so nice be back with the kids.We both are enjoying the stay here.We are leaving to Florida after the B'Day and will be with our son for a month and there also is a cute little boy(Tarun) who is only 7 months old.Our hand will be full throughout the trip.If I find some time I want to practice Aari embroidery and do some bunka too.I also got materials to stitch some frocks for my grand daughter.Let me see...how it goes.But surely will find time to go through all the blogs :).
We went to the Sewing and Quilting Expo and saw a lot of Gadgets mostly for quilting.I went to this Expo during my last visit too but this time I didn't find many sewing machines which I was interested in.Any way I am thinking of buying a machine which will do chain stitch and embroider alphabets too.

Framed Bunka!

Finally I got the 'Bunka Pansy'framed.Even though I completed this long back,I was very reluctant to leave the embroidery in the shop for framing.And finally I had to give in as I had no choice.And here it is..........

Flat stitch embroidered Tops

I had left a little bit of embroidery in this tops and today I completed that too.Here is the finished one.

Just like that............

It has been a really long time since I wrote or embroidered something.It is because I am busy stitching dresses for my daughter and blouses for me as I am leaving to the US to be with my children and grand children.I am looking forward to see all the little ones(3).I will be there till September.I hope I will do some embroidery there too.I am taking a big cross stitch kit and also planning to do some bunka embroidery.My son and daughter are not living very far away,so I will be spending time with both of them.
My stitching schedule will be over in another 10 days and I am doing some embroidery also in one short top,which I am not very happy about....I will post it once it is finished.And the most important thing  there is a sewing and quilting expo coming the weekend after our arrival.We all are planning to visit it and also planning to buy a good embroidery and sewing machine...(if it is really worth  while)...I am taking some embroidery threads from India as I want to make sure this thread suits the machine.Other wise the thread there is very expensive compared to the price here..So many aspects  has to be considered before buying a machine from the US....Ok all of you, see you soon with some nice work may be a cute frock for my granddaughter.

Belated NEW YEAR wishes

It has been a very very long time as I didn't do any stitching or embroidery,and this is very unusual of me to be like this.I was away for a week to Pune to my Niece house in the first week of Dec.We drove from Chennai to Pune with them and it was very memorable.After reaching home on 21 st we had to go to Chennai again as my husband's uncle passed away.No tickets were available and we  had to travel by bus.Returned the same day by bus again and it was really tedious.On reaching home I was not well and was out of sync for the whole of that week.I had viral infection and there goes all my strength.Only today I feel a little better and so thought of wishing you all for the new year.



WISHING ALL FELLOW BLOGGERS A COLOURFULLY EMBROIDERED YEAR OF FUN AND FULFILLMENT.MAY ALL OF US BE TIED DOWN WITH THREADS AND NEEDLES.
