Does she look mean to u?

Unfortunately, in some strange ways she strongly resembles me.

My new skirt... :)

Please excuse the tiled mirror shot, as you can see its a self shot, had somebody been around there were chances of a better click. But I was in too eager to wait :)
Its a wrap around skirt, and this is how it actually looks/works..

I already had a skirt like this, all I did traced its pattern on the fabric and cut it. And since its a wraparound there's no need for elastic, buttons or zip. Perfect beginners project and lead to instant gratification.


Here is a closer look of the fabric. Its beautiful. Its like all my favorite colors in one. I bought it back in India, actually it was my best friend RGM who bought it first. The minute I saw it on her... I was like -I want it...NOW. So she took me to the store until then I was not at peace.
What are best friends for..!!!

Cutie Out , Pixie In

The very cute sewing machine I got me...well it did not work out. I don't know weather it was the machine or my zero sewing knowledge. I tired very patiently and did some stitching too...(which I will upload..someday)...but eventually it drove me crazy. Finally yesterday I returned it and was about to give up on stitching then I saw this pretty baby. Again it was on a "tempting sale" and I thought I will try my hand again.

And so far sewing has been kind of pleasure .... I say "kind of" because its too early to judge plus I have a lot to learn. Currently I am sewing a wraparound skirt which will be an ideal summer wear.
For some reason lately I am not able to paint. I have been wanting to but I am not able to bring myself to do it. And I have a lot of time in my hand, I am not keeping super busy. Oh well..!
The summers are beautiful here. Warm, sunny, with a mild breeze once in a while...with particularly beauutiful evenings. A Summer evening is my favorite thing. It somehow fills me with hope and energy. And lately I am passing a lot of time walking/hiking during evenings,just trying to make the most while it lasts.

ps: This blue blogger is really bothering me. Specially uploading a pic was a pain.

More pencil drawings

Alter

See what I found....at a great deal!!!! Its very teeny tiny...but does its job. Well its a lil early to comment on its performance but I have great expectations. After a couple of years of marriage one thing I really needed was someway to alter my clothes.I m sooo excited. It only stitches in straight line...but I have a couple of Stitching projects planned let's see how far do I go.

Scribbled

Just scribbled something....
And that is how I feel this afternoon.

Some bisque ware

I don't blog for months and then there is a post overdose :-)
These are some of the bisque ware recently out of the kiln.
One is a casserole similar to the one I showed in my earlier post and then there's this tall square box/canister- its hand built. And the third one is actually a jar with lid and I intend to make it a candle holder. I m very curious to find out how a candle would look inside it when placed in a dark room.
I will be glazing these and will anxiously wait for the final results...
