DIY: Summer of ‘12 Wreath

Remember when I told you about the wreath that hangs on my door? The one I challenge myself to change every season? That was last summer, Summer of 2011. and then I finally gave it a new look for this summer.

I was in love with pinwheels this spring and ended up making a couple using tutorials I found on pinterest along with a little yarn wrapped wire ‘hello’ and attaching them with wire. Here is what it looks like.

As you can probably tell by now, I love projects that are simple and easy to make in one setting, involving supplies I usually have in the house. Most of my projects are usually made on a whim. Of course some don’t turn out how I want them to, and end up in the trash, but that is always expected with DIYs. That being said, I don’t mind little imperfections in the results either, like here too. I sort of ran out of wire and you’ll notice the ‘o’ in the ‘hello’ is quite rushed. Sigh. Anyways!

Toddler Activity: Noisy box of randomness

Another last minute activity to keep her busy for a bit so I can cook. A tin cookie box, filled with random stuff and a serving spoon for her to make all the noise she likes!

This gave me about ten minutes or so for her to explore it with the lid on and off. Enough for me to get my last minute preparations for food done.



Makes a happy mama and baby (for ten minutes or so, lol)!

DIY: art for Anya’s room

Hey you guys,

Today I thought I’d share a little peek from Anya’s new room. Her nani and khala sent her a darling little doll a little while ago and the wrapping paper they packed it in was adorable and yellow and I didn’t have the heart to part with it. I kept thinking of how they must’ve lovingly gone to select it for this little gift they were sending. Yes, I get very emotionally attached to things that way, but that is the story for another blog post! hehe

So well, I decided to put it in in a pretty little white frame.

and hang it up on the art wall in her room. It looks quite sweet there, don’t you think so? And every time we look at it we are reminded of the loving family that lives in our hearts but across the world.

Hope your day is going awesome. Thanks for stopping by!

(FYI: in Urdu, nani means maternal grandmother and khala is your mom’s sister)
