a wall art in making !!

Hello friends...guess what I forgot my Blog's 1st B'Day !!! It was on 26th of April :(
That often happens with me I remember people's  Birthday , Anniversary  and everything until  the day before...and then merrily go oblivious on the actual day !!!Only to rush at the end of the day or in the next couple of days with profuse apologies and a  belated grin ...No seriously an involuntarily thingy !!But thanks to facebook , things are little easier on me now :)


     This lovely wall art was posted by Patricia on her FB page.Inspired by it I have started an effort to make one for myself.Have got hold of a couple of tiles from Home depot , the same kind I had previously used to make decoupaged coasters and applying the same method I am trying to create some art work on them.Will take some time for the final outcome...So keep dropping by to see how it advances..
                                   Here is a quick view.....



I have a total of 4 smaller tiles and 3 larger ones.Intend to add an overall earthy tone to the whole drama with some random torquoise  blue and green thrown in.The reflection from the tiny mirrors add that extra zing!
So how do you all like it so far...Pour in some advice on what to do with rest..they are completely welcome!!
To be continued........

A compilation of 'MADE WITH LOVE ' @ Leisure ...

Hi Y'all ! How are you all beautiful ladies doing :)
On my part things are a bit smooth and ok now ..touchwood though :)

Its getting lush around here pretty quick  with all the myriad of shades of green dotted with different hues of pink , blue , orange you name it and the flowers are blossoming with all their vigour !!

Amidst all the beautiful chaos of nature , I have drawn , painted , baked and DIY ed at leisure :)

......In this post today I have just compiled all those leisurely activities together so that I could hop in and join Made with Love  over @ Patty dear's  coloursdekor.....Did you check it out yet...I discovered many cool blogs there....

Ok So jumping off to My Made with Love........

 Made with Love ....My chalk board painted wine bottle...I change the message on the bottle to suit the mood :)
Some pencil sketches done and framed...
Ofcourse there are many beautiful objects we can purchase  to adorn our home , but beautifying and decorating ones home with DIY objects can give that much personal touch to the space and make it your own feel....

                    Framed these miniature paintings myself....you can check it out HERE.
                                               These were super budget friendly too ...

                                  .....and baked and ate some cake with the family...

A simple terracotta bell given a spring make over..
This is how my current rented apartment entrance looks like :)
Well...... these are a few compilation of things done ...
But as the linky party suggests I can still make one more contribution , so I promise to be back with some more love :)
Till then each and everyone of you take care of yourself and your loved ones ..
Hugs

The sun is shining ..

Tomorrow is Friday..Yes the end of the week , but I'll remember fridays in a different tone for a while now 'coz the accident was on a friday afternoon.
But you know what when I get up every morning and I see the sun shining through into my home reflecting little objects it gives me so much happiness and gratitude for everything.
Just sharing with you a few of those reflections from my morning home...


This is a project I started.A beautiful roll of hand made paper I picked from world market and working my way to decoupage them on these ikea mirrors.I have six more of such which I intend to put them together to make a wall art mirror.Its a combination of purple, orange, red and gold.Utterly gorgeous!!



I am thankful to sip my daily tea on these lovely paisley cups :)
Thankyou each and all for your kind words.They were like  balm to me :)

Life is precious...

I am eternally greatful to God for giving me and my family a second chance in life.The three of us were driving to West Virginia for a weekend spring break vacation and met with a terrible accident on the highway...The car went out of control and was spinning like crazy in the middle of the interstate...I was praying with every last inch of my strength for the car to stop.
God is extremely kind to us for we came out of this nightmare without anybody hurt except the car was wrecked or as they say totalled.I am still traumatized with what happened or what could have happened.I hug my family tight every minute I get a chance...and I run and stand in front of my God and utter a prayer every other minute.
With an impeccable driving record for the past 10 yrs ,driving the very same car...it was difficult for me to grasp that anything like this could happen with me behind the wheels!!
Still shaken and not feeling the energy to do any thing but everyday duty has to be done and life has to be brought back to normal routine.
I don't know but thought I should share this with you all as you all come and look for me .
Hope to be back to doing what I love to do most ....some painting , my fav DIYs and things like that soon ...
untill then.....
