Misty Winter Mornings- colours and patterns

 

Hello!

It's February already and I am still loving and enjoying the last few days of Winter! It seems that I am not ready to welcome Spring yet... 

Misty Winter mornings   Those cold, foggy, calm and peaceful mornings. I have tried to capture that coziness through these soft colours and simple patterns.

Digital patterns/papers are available in my Etsy shop. Some of the patterns are in seamless repeat. You can use this pattern collection in your small handmade business. Gift bags, gift tags, fabrics, pillows/cushions (as in the sample below), bags/purses, scrapbooking or card-making, giftwrap... the possibilities are endless!

But please do not resell the patterns as is in your Etsy or any other shops...

The colours that I used in this lovely and calm collection. 

Enjoy!

New year resolutions !

Hello,


    Yes, its that time of the year again...

Planning for making another ''NEW YEAR RESOLUTION LIST''??? Hmm... me too. So, what are your plans for the next year (or at least you'll try your best to fulfill them)!

My plans :

1- To LOOSE WEIGHT(a bit) !!! Yeah, I've been trying my best to shed some weight but...... OK, this year I'll try my best to start with a very practical schedule and stick to it totally. May be it will be a good idea to share my progress from time to time, that way I won't leave the regime in the middle!

2- To complete some of the pending/mending works! Ah, I'm a total lazy person where mending work is concerned! But I must remember this simple quote--- ''a stitch in time saves nine'' isn't it ???

3-  To do more what I love to do (drawing, drawing, and moooooore drawing) ! Yippeee, this is the one thing I love doing all the time. Drawing/doodling is just like meditation to me. It gives me peace. It takes me to some other part of the world where I'm alone with my imaginations... running wildly, sometimes flying everywhere, everywhere,  EVERYWHERE.

4-  To be more POSITIVE. I'm a person who likes to stay positive all the time. Life indeed is full of uncertainty. But staying positive helps you to think and act rationally. Staying positive helps you to make your decisions practical and correct. Agree???

5- To dance more! Hee... hee... I love dancing...!!!

6- To work hard. Really I have to do this if I want my career to reach some good heights.

7- Try to learn one new thing. Last year I 'learned' swimming'! This year I learned how to paint with oil colours on canvas... It was fun. My hands were covered with colours, the smell of linseed oil...ummm just yummy ! I enjoyed my painting classes. I have to find what is next in my learning process...

8- Eat less. I become a hungry monster whenever I see some delicious food... hee..hee... I have to teach myself to control (and remind myself of point no. 1-- LOOSE WEIGHT!)

9- Pray God to give me strength --- to stay focused (and motivated) for the above mentioned plans!!!

So, these are just a few plans that I'll start my new year with. You see I have revealed a part of my personality that was totally hidden from you all... I am a human being. I'm NOT perfect, but at least I can try my best to achieve whatever I've planned for the coming year 2014...

AMEN.

If you want to share your new year plans with me, you can write them here in the comment section! I'll be very happy to read it...

See you soon!

paisleys-- stained glass effect ...

     Working on glass is so much fun . How a simple and transparent glass changes into something glamorous and so very colourful , is something amazing !!

      This is a '' FOUR SEASON ''pattern.

      The Summer , as we see , is so full of bright and a variety of greens . The Sun , too, is somewhat brighter than any other months...The leaf , in shape of paisley depicts , the Summer ...and the lemon yellow is the bright sunlight...

     Next ,comes the Winter , with it's dull and snowy days . Full of fog and frost , the leaves are no more green , and the sunny days---something of the past ! Everywhere you find the snow-covered branches . The brightness which we've earlier felt in Summer is lost , leaving only a dull and grey effect all over the surroundings...Here I show the fogginess of those days with dull shades because wherever we see its the fog which doesn't allow any leaf or flower to show its true colour...

    Now comes the Autumn , when all the dead and old leaves shed themselves to give space for the new life to enter in this '' ALL - COLOURFUL '' world !! The colours , I chose are all in different shades of yellow and some browns ,too , to show the decay and fall... rarely you find some greens left and a few flowers...so I gave this paisley a few touches of orange and green to show that the dull days are ready to leave giving place for the brighter ones...!

   Now , at last comes our Spring...a new life , a new beginning , a new and bright hope that ''ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL ...'' Everywhere you find flowers of all kinds and of all colours ... amazing isn't it ? The Autumn days are over ----''Love's in the air . The bright , blue and clear sky , the sunny days , the cool breezes , the green grass , the rainbows ---all promise a better future , so let's start dreaming in this beautiful world..!!
