Happy Monday with a bit of Inspiration - Believe & Trust yourself

I took a bit of break from blog posting and other online things.  It's been really busy months with managing orders in full swing; New year celebration, wedding anniversary, birthday celebrations and weekend outing.  

I wanted to share this little bit of inspiration I found on online which reminders more of ME. To be honest, last month has been very difficult with lot of transition in my life - work, health and personal life.  I focused on right direction; goodness I know I'm blessed with a supportive family and very grateful to my loved ones. 

Happy New Year!

This Month

Well, it's been a good month; busy for sure with school, exams, onam festival, holiday visit from relatives and my work.  I got horribly stuck with blogging in between these schedules; I guess when life becomes busy I forget to do what I really like - little excuse.  Few things what I did during this month.

*Beginning of this month I managed to sew 6 salwars in a row for myself and I remember some of the fabrics were bought last summer. 
*Aryan's best friend moved out to different country; he was slightly upset - now he has moved on and he's making new friends. 
* Sister's get-together (Two generations - mom &sisters + me&sisters)

* Beach walk with cousins

* Road trip to Zoo 
* Kids sleepover  

* Onam festival - amazing!

* Toys exploring

* Trying my hand on Suede fabric

* Visit to my favorite temple in Padi - Did you know Tiruvallesswarar temple is 2000 years old
* Spending time with cousin was nice; it's not very often we meet up  
* Worked on more colors and patterns into my shop
* Nice Chit-chat and catch up with my best friend
* The best part is within this tight schedule; I managed to sleep little longer than usual

Whenever we visit the temple; kids love to feed the birds and cow

It's been a month of full speed but all in all I'm enjoyed and blessed.  Hope you too enjoyed this month.

Hello August!

July is gone, an event filled month - birthdays in family and my blog, article about Daffysdream published in India Today Magazine. I have been trying to soak in every moment. More time with my little man, he is back early from his school these days.  Me and Aryan in my studio working and playing together...What more to ask for right? 

Here is what I whipped up this month in my studio - my favorite upon client request.

Bag organizer in Vintage linen fabric

 New styles with Zipper closure, Extra tall insert, Extra large for Diaper Bag and Double Decker pockets.

I was looking for some books for Aryan and I found this beautiful Desktop calendar from  http://www.jacketflap.com

Do you have anything fun planned for this month?

Where did the Monday go?

Where did the Monday go? I thought to myself when I was making the bed for my little one yesterday night. Another weekend flown by and I felt Monday was faster than weekend. My husband was away from city for weekend; so it was me and my peanut. I try to keep him busy throughout the weekend. On Saturday we collected the textbook from school he was very happy to see the colorful books and exploring them.  Then we went park, I took to his friend place and then playtime with sister. By end of the day I knew inside he was missing his dad.  Just before I was read the bedtime story- he could no longer resist he was very upset about his dad being away on a weekend.

Father and son relationship is very different from mother and son, they love having fun time- like this...

Weekend!!!

It’s yet another weekend after Aryan school opened.  I'm still getting used to the school routine - his school starts early contrast to playschool timing, so yeah- pick him up early, lunch time, little snap, playtime, homework, dinner and early to bed. First few days I was struggle with the new routine and bit behind with work time although I manage all the orders as per the schedule.

These days are tiring while I’m trying to get there. This post was lying in the draft since my Last post; I wanted to share with you my new tops I made two weeks back.  I'm first attempt sewing a stand up collar neckline was a flop; so I wore it around the house. Then I learned the technique and trick which made it simpler.  I chose simple neck design work for both the tops.

I made a fold-over clutch with left over black fabric.  I love the combination of Black and blue.    If you too like it please visit my shop.

So what are you up to?  Have you got plans for weekend?
