A Crafty Weekend

After recollecting my long ignored hobbies in my last post, I wanted to do some craft with Mantam this weekend. I brought out my collection of Pista shells, popsicle sticks and some paint bottles and brushes. Other than this, we just stayed home, did lots of cleaning, washing, ironing, repairing, dancing, home-working, sleeping, blogging, eating and cooking. Saturday evening, took Mantam out to a park, that’s all. Oh, I have also started reading a book ‘The Palace of Illusions’ also called the Panchaali’s Mahabharat (which featured in the TBR list of many bloggers I read). I had never read or watched the epic all my life and was absolutely ignorant of the whole plot. I’m kinda enjoying the book and knowing all the characters from a woman’s perspective.

Leaving you with pictures:
