Seriously, it maintains my sanity. I adore anything creative.
Anything to do with crafting captures my attention. My eyes
Anything to do with crafting captures my attention. My eyes
literally light up!!!
I also love to cook. I learned that from my mom. I know I can
do much better at this moment but I am still struggling
to get better with my sewing skills. Whenever possible,
I try and learn something new. I love to download patterns
from the internet and attempt them. It is a challenge for me
and when I get a particular pattern right, I am overjoyed.
Most of the time I get remnants from fabric stores and make
clothes out of them. I am always constructing, drafting,
and altering my next creation, which is usually a dress,
a pencil case or a tote bag or quilt. You name and I have tried
it all. I love to make things and give them as gifts rather than
buying something from the store. I know everyone
loves a handmade gift. One of my favorite times of the day is
dawn. There's something magical about that time of the day.
I call it the Golden Hour. Mostly, that's the time I bring my
dogs for a walk. It has such a calming effect on me.

I want to make friends who have the same ideas and passions.
I love to travel and visit countries. I hope that one day I will be able to meet the friends I have made all over the world.

I am new to Blogging and this is my first attempt. I need some support from my Friends and Family. Sometimes I do get new ideas and would love to share it with my fellow crafters out there.
Honestly, when I first started visiting
India, four years ago, my main idea or thoughts were to make
lots of money and start my own business selling Sarees and
lots of money and start my own business selling Sarees and
jewelery. But after a couple of visits there, I realized that I
have changed my thought process. During my last couple of visits to Chennai India, I just had a dying need to
help the poor and needy. I was lucky to befriend a beautiful
young lady who was teaching in one of the government schools for the underprivileged. Though she
had a wonderful career in the corporate world, she had
chosen to teach underprivileged kids and that motivated me.
It was truly inspiring to see a young girl who has such a big
heart to give back to the poor. I was very proud of her and
after visiting them in the school, I realized how lucky and
privileged we are and felt that it was time for me to give back
to the society what GOD has given me.
I am just currently hooked on making lots of bags and pencil
cases for the kids in that school. When I donated these bags
and pencil cases to these kids,the last time I was there,
they were so happy and they were jumping with joy just to receive these pencil cases and bags that I
they were so happy and they were jumping with joy just to receive these pencil cases and bags that I
actually stitched with from remnants that I had bought,
which cost me close to nothing.
At this stage in my journey I am just at peace and feel very
happy helping these kids and it has brought so much of joy
to me.

My motto is "LOVE CONQUERS ALL!!!." It makes the world
go round and I am a true believer in living life to the fullest!
