Seven facts about me
1.I cannot eat chillies. I can never eat anyting spicy, my whole face and my ear turns red and takes me a while to get back to normal.

2.I am a coffee addict. I just love coffee and there has never been a day without it. I like mine with milk and on an average I drink about a litre of coffee every day.

3. I am an accident prone child. I had my first accident when I was 9 months old and after which the list has been endless. From bruises to fractures, I have experienced whole lot of it. And now I am banned from riding a two wheeler.

4.I met my husband for the first time in a company cab. I detested him that very instant, and today I am married to him… I am a north Indian and he is a south Indian… coming from adverse families, touch wood we had very less trouble convincing our parents for our wedding.

5.I simply HATE milk cream in its normal form. I puke the moment my mouth touches it.

6.I love to collect things which amuse me. Right now it’s on crafts. I am now collecting tatting shuttles and crochet hooks.

7. I am obsessed with pens; I love to collect any new one that comes in the market.

Phew! there you go... these are 7 facts of my life that's out and open... I never ithought it would be so hard to write down about myself. I really had to crack my brains for this.

I have decided to tag

Motif #18

Motif No.18



I am currently experimenting patterns from Rozella Linden's book " Easy Tatting" and I like this one a lot. I plan to make a big motif by joining many more small motif's like this together. This is very similar to the bookmark that I made sometime back. I took this pattern from Susanne who was kind enough to share the pattern with me. By far, that bookmark happens to be the best out of what I have tatted till now.

Motif #17

Motif No.17


A small Heart. This is again from Rozella Linden's book "Easy Tatting".

Motif #16

Motif No.16


This is a pattern from the book "Easy Tatting" by Rozella Linden's. This is a great book for beginners. I liked a few and wanted to try it out. I have ordered some more books and hopefully they arrive soon.

Motif #15

Motif No.15


My First Ear rings...

Inspired by Yarnplayer's and a few other fellow tatters Tatted Jewelery, I thought of tatting Jewelery myself; amongst other things ofcourse.

This was done accidently while trying to make a Rosette and thought it would be a good idea to make earrings out of it instead... and that's what I did.

This is probably initial steps taken by me towards making tatted Jewelery and I am thinking of undertaking a few more projects in future including learning to use beads with my tatting.

Motif #14

Motif No.14


I did this with Yarnplayer's special hand dyed thread. Lovely thread, I just dont feel like using it and even if I do that motif will always be special...

Thanks Marilee for making such wonderful threads.

Motif #13

Motif No. 13


This is a Rosette from georgiaseitz's website.

Motif #11

My First tatted basket... I was just browsing on the internet and happen to see this on Threads from a tattinggoddess blog and tried it out. I hope I have done justice to it. This is done with crochet thread size 20.

Motif #10

Motif No.10



This also is one of Gun and Elwy's patterns. I did this with the thread which I purchased from Marilee, the one with lighter green shade. I Just love her thread and am saving it for some really good patterns.

Motif #9

Motif No.9




Also from Gun&Elwy's book this motif looks more like a heart... I tried this twice as I dint like the brown color.

Motif #8

Motif No. 8


The pattern is from Gun&Elwy's book. I guess It'll look even more better if I join lots of it togather...

I used Rose's crochet thread size 20. It is not all that great, like the Anchor ones that I usually use, but I just liked the color.

I am still not doing good with the onion rings and clunny leaves... but I am determined.
