My Handmade Wall-Hanging!

So the mega weekend plan came out to be a lovely piece of wall-hanging! Here is something special I want to share with you. This is not the first time I have tried my hand here, but certainly the first one I’m presenting in my blog. Wondering what is it, how it’s created, materials, inspiration and so on? Well, let me introduce with the art form.

It’s a form of appliqué work known as “Pipli work”; because of its origin from a small place called “Pipli” in India. A combination of colorful cotton clothes, fine needle work, sequins, laces and tiny mirror pieces give it a stunning look! There is no restriction to patterns, size and shape. But the choice of colors & designs need to be pre-planned, else it’ll mar the charm. You know what I do? Before cutting anything I make a soft copy.... simple!

This wall-hanging took one week to be completed for the central & outline needle work. Of course I can’t spend my whole day with this, because there are lot more thing to be done...well I love to do this!

Please let me know how you like it? I appreciate your suggestion!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Yesterday my friend called me, wishing – “Happy Thanksgiving Day”. Then I realized tomorrow is a great day for celebration, food, get-together, music and lots of fun. Wow! Being an Indian we don’t have any holiday for Thanksgiving Day. So I have little knowledge about it. But who doesn’t love the idea of get- together with the whole family, and doesn’t want the delicious turkey recipes, stuffed sweet potatoes, cakes & chocolates?

But my friends and cousins staying abroad are enjoying a lot..... lucky! Everytime they used to send me so many photos (which makes me feel jealous). This time I’m going to send mine too (look above)!

How is it? Am I looking gorgeous? Hahahaha.........
So what's your super plan this time?????

Artistic Nail Design: Geisha

Awesome! This is for the first time I am presenting nail design in my blog. Reason? No reason.... actually never come across such a beautiful pattern. Moreover, I have never tried my hands in them. This piece of art-work is different from painting or sketching that I do.

In the words of Thriszha this is inspired by fabulous SAKURA. Well, I must tell you Sakura is a French blogger and I love her work too. Her talent is worthy of great admiration. But what attracts me much is the “Geisha” theme here. A Geisha is a true emblem of feminine beauty and art in Japanese culture.

Thriszha’s free hand one-stroke-technique has a charm in itself! Few dots, flowers and butterfly strokes make the nail look like a precious article. Wonderful!

Pamela Anderson To Spice Up Big Boss 4

Pammy is yet to recover from how unexpectedly she was crowded by fans in Indian Airport. But it’s definitely much more flattering than audience response after any of her big shows! Her Baywatch Avatar was quite interesting with funny, silly, sexy activities. This time get ready to witness something more personal, because it’s the most talked-about reality show Big Boss-4. Wow! Can you imagine her in such a locked-up situation?

And the latest buzz is, Pamela Anderson has started adding spices to the show. To speak in the native tone - “masala tadka”. LOL!

It’s heard that she’s here for 6 days and offered Rs 2.5 crores for what she’ll do. But I’m in doubt if she can fulfill her desire to visit Taj Mahal in this short duration. Better known for PETA activities and her twin assets, now Pamela is attracting the viewers by turning into a traditional Indian beauty. Isn’t she looking so cool in this white fashionable saree?

Meditation Makes You More Beautiful

Today, I love to share something special with you. It’s not a beauty product in fact, but something that beautifies you unconditionally. I must repeat the age-old saying that “The true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.”All are not gifted with a perfect figure, an expensive trendy wardrobe, a perfect makeup-man, nor have the brilliant hair expert to consult with. If you agree that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, then I must say that beauty is hidden inside your soul, just waiting to be realized and brought out.

Meditation brings out the real beauty inside us. Devote at least 20-30 minutes to meditation on a daily routine and you’ll feel prettier. Meditation improves blood pressure, asthmatics condition, reduces stress and energizes the sprit. On a whole you stay fit, physically and emotionally. That makes you a perfect beauty.

The simplest steps you can practice are:

1. Choose a quiet place and Sit quietly in a comfortable “Buddhist” position.
2. Be committed to a specific duration of time.
3. Focus on the shortest word you personally believe – exp: love, peace, Om, I surrender all to you, Hallelujah or something that you love to listen & chant.
4. Take long deep breaths and repeat the focused word in heart.
5. Assume strong passive attitude. Don't think about how well you're doing or not. If other thoughts enters to mind, simply say, "Oh, well," and gently return to your concentrated position.
6. Let’s continue it for 10-20 minutes. Never set the alarm, just check the time coolly if you want.
7. Open eyes and rest for 2-3 minutes in sitting position. Than only you stand and go back to work.

Your joy in life, excitement and energy are reflected on your bright face. Your sexy confidence brings a beautiful smile and dignity to your walk. Your serenity and sensitivity are mirrored in your sparkling eyes. What more you need to make you beautiful?
