New look...

My favourite corner gets a new look with some old bottles, mother's old saree and money plant.

Finally...

Finally this is how my wall with family pictures and handmade frames look like...

Together...

Framing our togetherness through words...
Made this frame by using old maps (as the base for the frame) then cut out a few words and stuck on the frame.

Birds on the wire frame

For this frame, I cut out a few bird shapes and few strings. Stuck them on the frame. DONE.

Buttons on the frame...

Frame made of buttons for my daughter's portrait...
Since I was unable to find large size buttons, I bought a few curtain buttons (made of wood) and painted on them. And it looked something like this...

I had them stuck on the frame...

And finally, stick the picture.

Three- in- one frame

The idea for this photo frame was given by S and it looked great.

For this, I made three frames with slightly different measurements and covered with different papers.

Then, assembled all the frames on top of the other starting from biggest to smallest.

Cut out a few flower shapes...

Assembled them together.



























Stick it on the frame. And it's done!

Tomato chilli jam

This is the first time I am sharing a recipe in my blog as I always hated cooking. But I couldn't resist taking picture of this jam. The recipe is originally from the Indian master chef Sanjeev Kapoor. So here it comes...

Ingredients:
Tomatoes- 1/2 kg
Fresh chillies (either red or green)-5 or6
Sugar- 1 cup
Chopped garlic- 2 tbsp
Chopped ginger- 1 tbsp
Vinegar- 3 tbsp
Soya sauce- 1 tbsp

Method:
Heat a pan, add tomatoes, garlic and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes. Then, add chillies, sugar, vinegar and soya sauce. Let it cook in low flame till the sugar forms a syrup and thickens. Remember not to thicken it too much as it hardens once it cools down. Store it in a bottle and use it as and when you want. The sweet, sour and spicy taste will linger in your mouth for a very long time.

Happy valentine's day

Love you as always...
