This is going to be a long post as I have so much to talk about the last 10 days...
First of all my entry for the month of March for the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL .
Birthday card I made for DH...It was a surprise as I stitched it whenever he was asleep :)
I'm finding it difficult to take time out for stitching these days which explains the bigger portion of red in my stitch pie :( . I decided to keep some area of the card unstitched as I was short of time.
On the cooking front , I tried making pasta in red sauce for the first time and it turned out good. The recipe can be found here:

It was the festival of colors-Holi on the 6th ,though we didn't play with colors , I invited my friend and his wife for a festive lunch on 7th . I was successfully able to prepare "Ragda pattice" and "masale bhaat" just before the guests arrived. Why successfully, because there was no electricity for 3.5 hours and wasn't able to cook during that duration.
After the lunch, we had a good chat for 5 hours...yes I'm a talker...
My friend's wife brought Holi special food preparations and we were no more missing home ...blink blink.
Here is a picture of goodies which I got as part of International Women's day celebration in office.
I'll be travelling to London for business on 29th and you know what, all I want to do is buy lots of cross stitch supplies from there. I have already made some arrangements for that(picture me with a mischievous smile ).Imagine its my first visit to London and I have little zeal to visit the tourist spots .
So if you have some recommendation for a good LNS or a thrift store in and around London , please let me know.
Of course the foodie in me still wants to know what are the must eats in London.
I'm hoping to get a lot of stitching time over the easter weekend during my stay in London if I don't go around and visit the London attractions.
I have now added separate pages to my blog for
a) Other crafts which I pursue( in a hope that these pages will keep me motivated.)
b) Pics of my mom's garden.
c) Cross stitch Finishes-Check this out for details of my finished projects.
