I started blogging with so much excitement, I had loads to share! I hosted linky partys and suddenly I crashed and burned.<br>
What are the reasons? There are two main reasons.<br>
First, I had been busy with office work. Even then I tried blogging. I realized that I was not able to balance both office work and my passion for blogging and art.<br>
Second, I got married :) I moved to New Jersey and I took little time to settle down here.<br>
I realized I should start blogging again so here I am. Keep visiting my blog often now because I am gonna post more articles on arts and crafts :)</p>

Luckily there are several things you can pickup from around Disney that make great mementos but won't cost you much at all. There are free souvenirs that are just as special and exciting as a stuffed Mickey Mouse dressed in a new outfit. Now the ultimate FREE/CHEAP souvenir is pictures. Take loads of pictures with your camera. But there are many other ideas of things you can get at Disney that will also bring back memories but not cost you much.<br />
<br />
My sister visited Disney world in Florida and I found that she din't get any souvenirs. She just bought Walt Disney world key to the world cards, Photopass cards and Arcade cards. I decided to make souvenirs from the hard plastic cards with cute Disney characters on them. I made fridge magnets for her that will bring back great memories whenever she opens her fridge door.<br />

Cut a Magnet strip from Self adhesive magnet sheet. Press the Magnet strip firmly to the center of the back of the card. <br />

His talk at the TEDx Gateway Mumbai inspired me a lot. For the first time I felt I should write about my thoughts on gendercide. For all the craft lovers who love my blog here is a post that is completely different, it is about great speakers and their riveting stories of inspiration.<br />

<br />
Can you imagine a world without girls. No because some of the finest poetry would become meaningless plus the human population would eventually die.<br />
<br />
The three words “It’s a girl!” are often received with sadness and disappointment because parents have a strong cultural preference for boys. There are many reasons why people prefer boys.But when you ask them why don't they want to have a girl child, common answers you will hear are:<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lot of dowry has to be given if a girl gets married.<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A son will take care of elderly parents<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A son has the right to perform some religious duties like lighting up the funeral pyre of dead parents which a girl can not do.<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Men earn and support the family. More men means more income.<br />
<br />
So people either abort foetus or kill a girl child as soon as she is born.This leads to gender imbalance which will soon turn into a big problem if it is not addressed now. If gender inequality continues we might have to see days where people will give dowry in return to get a suitable daughter in law for their sons.Some families in India who believe abortion is equivalent to a crime wait patiently for a baby boy to arrive into their family no matter how many children they already have.<br />
<br />
When I saw the TED talk of Evan Grae Davis. They showed a woman who killed 8 of her children just because they were girls. I dint see a hint of regret on her face though she has committed an act that is shameful, hurtful and violent.<br />
<br />
I am the youngest one in my family and I came to know that my mother cried when she knew that I was born. I asked her why did she cry. She said she was expecting a boy. My mother got married at a very young age and she was ignorant. I don't blame her because the society has influenced her to think that way. My parents provided me and my sister with quality education and here we are, all grown up, excelled in our academics and working in MNCs. Me and my sister have proved that when a girl child is provided with proper education she succeeds in every step of her life.<br />
<br />
I just don't blame an individual or a family, it is the society that has to be blamed for gendercide in India. When I was little my father got a job transfer from a small village in south India to Hyderabad. Relatives suggested my father not to go to Hyderabad. However my father was very clear that we would move to Hyderabad for the sake our education. Closed ones said”You don't have a boy. You just have two girls. What is the need of providing quality education?”. If I was not bought up in Hyderabad I wouldn't have been writing this article, I wouldn't have known the power of Internet. I am thankful to my parents who have given us education and made us financially independent.<br />
<br />
The practice of female foeticide is not only prevalent among rural India but it is also prevalent among rich and educated families too. I have a small incident to share with you. My friend has been thinking to get married lately and submitted her profile in popular matrimonial sites. She is beautiful, educated and very talented. However few of them rejected her proposal just because she din’t have a brother. Others asked for more dowry because she din’t have a brother. You might find it silly but it is true. The reason is: In future when her parents turn old, she will have to take care of her parents. If she had a brother he would have taken care of their parents. When I met my friends mother she was in tears. She cursed herself for not having a son. She kept saying “I wish I had a son who would take our responsibility. What is the use of having daughters? In the end they will have a family of their own and her in-laws wont accept us in anyway. How will I get my second daughter married?”.<br />
<br />
A girl is killed as soon as she is born or female foetus is aborted. Either a girl child is sexually abused or she becomes a victim of domestic violence. They are still found dumped in trash cans. I believe education is the key to resolve gendercide. Lack of education is the major cause for this problem. Let us unite to eradicate gendercide from earth.<br />
<br />
Many people like Evan have worked selflessly and contributed to mankind with their work, I hope to see more such people and I want to be one of them.<br />

<b><i><u>Steps:</u></i></b><br />
Tie the string to one end of earphones and start wrapping it around the cord. You can also use the Chinese stair case pattern instead of wrapping the string. In the end tie the string and add a drop of fabric glue. Glue allows the string not to fray after you tie it.<br />

Adding a pond
or small water garden to your yard creates a multitude of benefits. Water adds
a new dimension to any garden and a pond created by you is the ideal place to
grow miniature waterlilies and other small aquatic plants. This idea is quick
and easy to make and requires minimal care. The larger the container, the more
impressive the display, although it's best to limit yourself to one or two
well-chosen types of plant. If you use too many plants in your pond, it will
quickly become cluttered.</div>

These cute
little ponds make hot summer days seem cooler, reflect fall's colorful leaves
and attract wildlife, such as birds, dragonflies and frogs. A small water garden you can construct
yourself permits a close-up view of intriguing aquatic plants and fish if you

An ideal
place for your pond is a spot that offers at least 4 hours of sun each day.

Like a natural
pond, try to maintain a delicate balance of plants, snails, tadpoles, and fish
rather than on pumps and filters to keep the water fresh. It includes oxygenating
grasses (which add oxygen to the water) and floating plants such as water
hyacinths (which provide hiding space among their roots for pond creatures).
This menagerie includes tadpoles and goldfish.</div>

Quilling, also called paper filigree, originated more than five hundred years ago; it involves rolling and combining strips of paper into highly detailed designs.<br />
I made this snowflake ornament from six V-shaped strips of paper, curled at the ends with a quilling needle and joined with a dot of glue at the center. <br />
Before working on the ornament, practice some quilling basics. Wind a strip of paper around the needle; it will form a tight curl. Play with the paper to stretch it back out to the shape you want. Try folding a strip in half and curling both ends in for a heart shape, or curl them out for a V shape. Quilling paper is easy to manipulate, but working with it is not an exact science: It takes some practice to make the same shape twice.<br />
<br />
<u>Tools and Materials</u><br />
6 strips of quilling paper strips<br />
Quilling needle<br />
Craft glue <br />
Metallic thread<br />

1. Fold each strip of quilling paper so that one of the halves is about little longer than the other, and curl the ends. Repeat with five more strips.<br />

2. On a flat surface, fit pieces together with their points in the center. Use small amount of glue to attach pieces together in pairs. Let glue dry, and attach a piece of metallic thread to hang ornament.<br />

I bought my diyas from a road in Ameerpet, Hyderabad that has pottery lined up on the pavement on either side for diwali. As the diyas were kept on tables on the roadside, they were rather dusty.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So how do you paint a diya? What paint should you use? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZffcZ-t0AetUG3zFkNQfl1ZykhXJH6KDkLvtpW55_4Z12PXdv2vGUN-4PQYZ-uXCNGE8ABSRYPFXBvqxisLV5-Zlnj5yKf8xd3MGlXpifsTDyc5OCg6aEQwy8ltL8r2VQv4N_-O8F7y8/s1600/1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZffcZ-t0AetUG3zFkNQfl1ZykhXJH6KDkLvtpW55_4Z12PXdv2vGUN-4PQYZ-uXCNGE8ABSRYPFXBvqxisLV5-Zlnj5yKf8xd3MGlXpifsTDyc5OCg6aEQwy8ltL8r2VQv4N_-O8F7y8/s320/1-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
Soak the diyas in water for 15-30 minutes. Dry them in the sun or under a fan. This helps make them receptive to paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhiwI5PM5sguTgw2HWyH9B1Yk1zYN9r1vRgPIlmvqbqTEE6DW0qjJmBUxichqsQyzQDI_bLCunyE2H0AdaAaG0rZs6W-LlpNiCMXjchRyCsVQDRhENU72vi8zmx_z_K7ITyuv5HthHI0E/s1600/3-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhiwI5PM5sguTgw2HWyH9B1Yk1zYN9r1vRgPIlmvqbqTEE6DW0qjJmBUxichqsQyzQDI_bLCunyE2H0AdaAaG0rZs6W-LlpNiCMXjchRyCsVQDRhENU72vi8zmx_z_K7ITyuv5HthHI0E/s320/3-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Choose acrylic or fabric paint in bright colors to paint the diyas and use a wide brush. Gold, crimson and other metallic colors are my favorites.<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">TIP: Try a bit of each color that you plan to use on the base of a diya. This way you can check how dark/light the paint will be and whether you can get an even coat on the terracotta. I tried out the different color combinations.</span><br />
You can decorate the diyas with one or more colors. If you like solid color diyas, the best way to accent them is by adding a line of gold paint along the rim using a thin brush.<br />
Dry the painted diyas for 3 to 4 hours.<br />
<br />

Stick tiny mirrors, zari thread, small shells, sequins, beads or glitter on the diyas to pack a decorative punch.<br />

<br />
I was lucky enough to get a tablet as a gift and, after a while without any protection, it was in danger of getting a bit beat up in my bag. I was looking around at cases and kept on seeing all these lovely felt tablet cases around that I liked but I didn't want to spend the money they usually sell for. So, I decided to make mine out of craft felt sheets instead which happen to be just the right size. Yay, I love a bargain solution! This project cost me less than 25rs.<br />
<br />
<u>Materials needed:</u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A4 sized felt sheet<br />
Thread<br />
Needle<br />
Buttons for closure<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS7PYw7RH_tDyeGqlTIOaLhT3WtTd-T4vQCJ8rsqHhyphenhyphenrqTENHtFzETUXwMFOALuFbFldltxVRgouFs4Vzrw4wVADVIm7XuEv3KgLFhpaw0RqD1nEE0zeaMKsI3wn9YrfztZhx-KsDoBak/s1600/felt+sheet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS7PYw7RH_tDyeGqlTIOaLhT3WtTd-T4vQCJ8rsqHhyphenhyphenrqTENHtFzETUXwMFOALuFbFldltxVRgouFs4Vzrw4wVADVIm7XuEv3KgLFhpaw0RqD1nEE0zeaMKsI3wn9YrfztZhx-KsDoBak/s320/felt+sheet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I hand-sewed just simple hemming across the side of the case using thread in a matching color. Then I trimmed the seams, created a flap, turned it right side out, sewed on the button for closure, and voila! I can't really give specific instructions because I just eyeballed the whole thing as I went, but it was an easy project and fortunately, my tablet fits in there perfectly.<br />
It's a simple case, which is just what I wanted. It protects my tab from scratches when I slip it in my bag and from dust when it's lying around the house. No, it's not going to protect your tab if you drop it on concrete.... :-) I made this thing one month ago and it's still holding up like new. Hooray for simple projects that I can actually complete!<br />

They are usually hanged near the main door to welcome guests, near the windows, in the garden or on the walls. Inspiration for me to make these wall hangings is a folk art of andhra pradesh called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Tholu Bommalata"</i>(Puppet show). Puppets for tholu bommalata are made out of leather. I tried the same designs on a thick paper stock. I have named these wall hangings as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MatsyaThithli chamkaris</i> because in hindi Matsya means fish and Thithli means butterfly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVsydjv5zoPSboDGqYSLXREWIwMi4NsdmO6LnUISG6ex_gsw7KVzQ9BOOpSS_-lawNj2CqHKT_atejPdERXQlCwzJEhf07agH9O-bMghyphenhyphenH1ffXuf5buo-1r6kV9AqEw6pyr0QBKauEys/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVsydjv5zoPSboDGqYSLXREWIwMi4NsdmO6LnUISG6ex_gsw7KVzQ9BOOpSS_-lawNj2CqHKT_atejPdERXQlCwzJEhf07agH9O-bMghyphenhyphenH1ffXuf5buo-1r6kV9AqEw6pyr0QBKauEys/s320/11.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><u>Supplies you will need</u>:</div><div class="MsoNormal">Plain white colored thich paper stock</div><div class="MsoNormal">Glue</div><div class="MsoNormal">Scissors</div><div class="MsoNormal">Beads and bells</div><div class="MsoNormal">Needle and thread</div><div class="MsoNormal"><u>Instructions<o:p></o:p></u></div><div class="MsoNormal">I chose to cut the shapes of butterflies and fishes for my wall hangings.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the hottest accessories on the market this season are bangle bracelets wrapped with yarn or thread in bright, shiny, punch-colored hues and subdued earthy tones bursting with texture. The good news is that these coveted bangles are super-easy to make, and the process is super-creative. All you need to do is pick out some fun ribbon, trim, yarn, or embroidery thread, choose a design, and then wrap away.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can keep it simply chic with one material in a solid color, or get creative with bold combinations and using various twisting, knotting, and wrapping methods.</span><br />

Unique to each individual as the whorls and ridges on the edges of our fingertips. A Memory Jar is a jar which contains a number of memories that you share with someone special in your life. You determine the number of memories and the manner in which they are presented. Keep it simple or make it as elaborate as your time and budget permit.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6u2K-EAtubPM0tE881LpZJxmKfHUN-x12QjG1aqlBKPEtkrYj9f_uu24xSLK7HGH1FhF6wKi52IA7Og4vpy3kWeO-xltin4CnVA66NYib09vmtbLeD69HQ1NKSnNc6mCEA1CUls63OQI/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6u2K-EAtubPM0tE881LpZJxmKfHUN-x12QjG1aqlBKPEtkrYj9f_uu24xSLK7HGH1FhF6wKi52IA7Og4vpy3kWeO-xltin4CnVA66NYib09vmtbLeD69HQ1NKSnNc6mCEA1CUls63OQI/s320/5.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6u2K-EAtubPM0tE881LpZJxmKfHUN-x12QjG1aqlBKPEtkrYj9f_uu24xSLK7HGH1FhF6wKi52IA7Og4vpy3kWeO-xltin4CnVA66NYib09vmtbLeD69HQ1NKSnNc6mCEA1CUls63OQI/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>Create a memory jar for anyone who is important in your life or create it for yourself.

The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the hole in the center and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.

To me, writing a thank you card is serious business. I really want each one to be heart felt, and to let the giver know how meaningful their gift truly is to me. Each card has unique thoughts, and because of this I usually only complete 1 or 2 cards once I finally sit down to write.</span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is more interesting for me to use different cards, instead of the same ones each time (even though I know they are going out to different people). That is where my new Butterfly craft punch comes in. I’ve had these cheap, plain cards hanging around for a while. All it took was a few pieces of scrap paper and </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">voila!</span></span></i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> a new look to otherwise plain cards. You can also give a new look to generic thank you cards, if there are any lying at home. My thank you cards were made of butterflies all lined up and punched from many different colors of paper. </span></span><br />

The main idea behind the custom of decorating the homes and offices on Diwali is to please and attract the Goddess of wealth, Goddess Lakshmi as it is popularly said that she enters only in a clean and decorated home. Thus apart from the entire home, the decoration of the entrance of a place, which is called 'dwaar', also becomes very important. The beautiful door hangings that are called 'Bandanwaar', or even torans, have special significance as the decorative accessories in Diwali festivities.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRv15m-tzpF5b1wWJVJ1WYYaQslvnHQHvrlsQNskwWVCm80JLjzSmsy94GfHp09epvTIqKRtEet3XxjLH3Yrd4WNzpiHQastNVvoJKLn4RlleKRgku9hLmFIeQ7mL9_Id0p27fc6-ghSA/s1600/toran3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRv15m-tzpF5b1wWJVJ1WYYaQslvnHQHvrlsQNskwWVCm80JLjzSmsy94GfHp09epvTIqKRtEet3XxjLH3Yrd4WNzpiHQastNVvoJKLn4RlleKRgku9hLmFIeQ7mL9_Id0p27fc6-ghSA/s320/toran3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #2c2c2c; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />
These bandanwaars (torans) are the first thing that welcomes your guests as they step at your place. These door hangings not only enhance the charm of the main entrance of your home but also give a friendly welcome to those who drop in to wish you on Diwali. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #2c2c2c; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If you dont want to buy torans, you can make these at home.

In years, I had unsually woken up to the chirping of the birds. I opened the curtains to let the first rays of the sun enter the room. The air was crisp. My room overlooked the jasmine creeper.<br />
I opened the window and found that there were 2 wild song birds that perched on the creeper. I had muttered “Perfecto”<br />

The artist in me was aroused. They became my muse..... the inspiration i needed to start a painting. But I didnt have the time to get my canvas, paintbrushes and position myself close to the window because wild birds are often difficult to approach and they never stay in one place for long. Due to the small size and fast-paced behavior of songbirds I quickly grabbed my camera which was lying on the table. Movement is your biggest foe when it comes to birds. With this little stategy my bird photography turned out to be very rewarding....<br />
<br />
I am gonna share my exquisite avian images for all you guys to enjoy.... and here it is “The untold love story of two birds”......<br />

In all these years I have clicked thousands of pictures but capturing these two birds gave me immense satisfaction and happiness, I just cant explain in words. The best part is perching of the birds early in the morning was all natural and not “set-up”.<br />
Now I wait fervently every morning for the birds to perch so that I can capture few beautiful pictures.<br />
