Aren’t bdays special??? Especially, when someone in your family has her/his bday coming. Do we not wish to gift them something that feels special to them? Ya, same way, my mom’s bday fell on June 26 and I wanted to give her something that she’ll never feel like throwing away anytime. So, it had to be something damn special to her.
When I pondered on what she likes
the most in this world, it struck me. I have always noticed that nothing
thrills her more than spending a weekend with both my sissies’ kids. She adores
all the three tiny tots – UTHRAH, HRIDHAY n AKSHAT.
So, I decided to make her some
sorta handicraft with the snaps of the kids. Finally, I decided on a wall
hanger so that it could hang somewhere in my mom’s kitchen and keep reminding
her that she’s always remembered though we daughters are miles away. But, right
that time, I was at a loss. My inner voice was like, “Who are you kidding? You
always suck at crafts. Face it”. All I knew was to write pages n pages and well,
there’s nothing more.
But, as usual, “Light Bulb” :D.. I
am at Indore staying at my uncle’s for internship. Here, I am blessed with a
cousin who’s a killer with ArTs n CrAfTs!! Her name’s POOJA and below pics show some
of her works. The 1st pic is a collage of her quilling works.
Lovely crafting, ain’t it?
With a maestro to help me out on
the craft part, I wrote a 3 stanza verse (That is all I know to do ;P :D.., it
helps me survive) to go with the wall-hanger.
With the ingredients ready, we got busy on June 23rd night at
11pm and by 1.15pm, the hanger was ready and looking all fine.
We were a little
late in shipping the gift to my mom and we expect it to reach her only 2 or 3
days after her bday. As I wrote this post even before it reached my mom, am
still waiting for my mom’s reaction when she receives it.
P.S: When I said we got busy on June 23rd
night, I would like to confess that it actually means Pooj was busy with the hanger and I was busy watching the FINALS of ICC
Champions Trophy between India and England, cheering away loudly and
shamelessly applying Fevicol on my hands and then peeling off the dried glue.
