Tara - Indidoll

I first met Tara and Mani at last Sunday Soul Sante, a mecca for hand crafted goodies.. I was so impressed with her look and the dress. She was like a girl next door. Every little girl's imaginary friend. Like every little girl, I (grown up little girl) also wanted to share my little secrets to my imaginary friend. I bet she will not gossip my little secrets ;)

I really wanted to design something for her. So I contacted the Indidoll team. They were absolutely friendly and wanted to give a try. After 2 hectic weeks, I came up with a line of little patterns exclusively for her. (Patterns are shared only with Tara as of now.. ). Met the team yesterday and they liked few of my items I designed for Tara. Even more happy to share, she will be wearing few of these accessories this Sunday Soul Sante that is going to happen on Oct 27th.

Wishing the sweet little bond between Apple of my Eye and Tara continues :)

Felt flowers

My first try on felt. As always it starts with a beautiful blossom. Yes, these are felt flowers that I learnt through Pinterest.
I had been using felt as an accessory for my crochet works. But never had an opportunity to try crafts using felt. Today finally made some time and tried making some little flowers. Actually, I did not have those flower colors. All I had was white, black, dark and light brown felt with me. This didn't stop me from trying my experiment.

Materials Required:
Felt
Scissors
Fevibond.
Fabric colors ( If you want to paint them )

For method follow this pictorial instruction http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/53/49/df/5349df7353733b20bccdee4030aab72d.jpg

And I followed this instructions and made my flowers

Racy Yarn bags

This Navarathri was super duper busy. 10days went just like that. I was completely engaged with the traditional activities and one list of friends visiting our home every day. This time, I actually didn't have a count of how many bags I crocheted as goodie bags. Apart from my usual goodie bags, I purchased this wonderful racy yarns from Craft Refill, it gave an absolute justification for my festival theme. I crocheted two bags for two lovely girls. The pattern is very very simple which can be seen below.

Simple beanie and booties

My favorite pattern ever. A simple beanie and a Mary Jane inspired booties.I did not follow any particular  pattern for these and unfortunately I did not write down the pattern as I crocheted. :( These patterns are more of inspirational.These products will be always stay close to my heart as I tried something of my own. For the booties, I got my inspiration from the Mary Jane booties. To add some extra character I added a clown shape to the booties.
