On Cloud Nine!

When I read here: http://blog.nancyaugust.com/2012/06/summer-craft-soap-clouds.html that we could make clouds with soap, I could not contain my excitement and we made it the very same day!





Making cookies

Thanks to Raani for organizing cookie making as part of Christmas celebrations and for these cute pics :)








Little houses

Unpacking fun



Laundry time



Lampshade painting

Got all of my Sharpies and set to decorate the lampshade in the kids' bedroom with it. Car theme for my car-crazy kids - that's the idea that struck my mind and I loved the result :)





Little gifts in a little box

I loved these little pyramid gift box and set to make one right away :)




Drawing book


Adu loves to copy my drawings and insists that I draw all pictures step-by-step. This inspired me into making a series of books with illustrated drawings with simple steps for each picture.


Adu drew this cute elephant with this drawing book :)



Painted or Stitched T shirts




Animal Barn

Converted an old box into a barn by decorating it with patterned contact paper.

Tissue Paper Pom poms


Pom poms were everywhere and everyone was making them. I had few tissue papers of assorted colors at home. I used the available ones to make one giant pom pom to hang in front of the kid's toy room :)



It is not a neat one, but am happy enough I tried.
