Tropical fruits

This time of year is little late for fruit season in Sri Lanka. But we are great full for even a late fruit season than not having one.

These called ‘Rambutan’ in native language. The tree is large. This is a pinkish yellow variety and there are red varieties too. th

These called ‘Gadigudan’ in native language. This tree is also large. People have to climb the tree to pick fruit.

A hand bag using parts of an old handbag.

I used zippers, metal rings and even the straps of an old bag to construct new one.I used black row silk as the outer material and deep purple satin as inner material.I sewed old green zipper into new bag and added a strip of cloth to cover the color.

 I removed front side strap rings using a screw driver and fixed them to new bag.

Back side straps were sewn down.

Pictures of finished bag soon.

CD pincushion

 I made this pincushion for myself using this tutorial http://ivoryblushroses.blogspot.com/2008/08/sea-dreaming.html from Ivory Blush Roses. Thank you for the tutorial.

It is easy and fun to make.

River is full…

There is a river flowing in front of our home. It is called ‘Kalu Ganga’ in our native language.  It was rained two full days for it’s initiative forests and it is full now… very near of flooding.
