Ankush is 'Two'

Today my sweet heart of a son turned 'Two'.

He is the spark of my life.

His big little eyes melts my heart all the time.

I baked a chocolate cake covered with mint chocolate ganache.

He was just eager to pull out the lollipops, but he was least interested in the cake itself.

So my little Hero has been making us run around him, worry about him, play with him, dream about him and many more things that nobody else could ever make me do.

It's gonna be double dhamaal from now on.

Rock On Ankush.

We all Luv U:)

Momma Loves u:)

Dadda Loves u:)

New Work...

Having practiced quite a few portraits in acrylics as well as oils, I've always wanted to paint a portrait of my son ever since he was born. Back in India and  I couldn't miss this opportunity to do some painting since my mom's here to take care of my son.

So here's the oil painting of my son.

 

So here's my almost 2 year old grinning away to glory.

You can have a look at some of my other(old) works here.

The other sunday, he was in the park.
He was in the park, in his blue jeans and blue t-shirt.
The t-shirt had a print of a tiger on it's right.
But it was misspelled as 'tigger' on it's left.
But me thinks he doesn't know yet what a tiger is.

Food on his face. Mmm hmmmmmmm .

This is when he gets busy with the birds.
Son turn back. Don't u dare 'Do not disturb me' to me.

This is when my son runs away from his Momma.
Bcoz Momma knows best when to feed him.
And he thinks it's best to run away when Momma wants to feed him.

Is there a smile on your face?

yes, yes, I know that!

Was it my son?

Oh no. I now its me.

Oh sorry.....

It was the  'tigger' , isnt't it?

Crafting for a Wedding

New dresses, New sarees, New shoes, New cosmetics, New jewellery, new this, new that...Pheww......
There was a wedding in the house starting of september and it was helluva fun. We bought all new stuff for my cousin sister's wedding. My vacation has been mostly shopping and traveling until now. Frankly, less shopping and more traveling.

Decorations are prerequisite for a wedding. Be it arathi thali/tatte or gifts to be given to the bride groom, everything is decorated in our household. I managed to do some of the decorations.

Kumkum and turmeric packed like a fish underwater.

Arathi thaal/tatte.  Blue and White are all expired tablets which was lying lazy in the closet.

Another aarthi thaal.

Jaggery blocks decorated as a chair.

Saree Palloo crochet for silk sarees.

Vacation in India has been so occupied until now. One more month to go. Hope this month passes by slowly.
