I love to embroider. Whenever I was in need of a design I just sifted through the motifs I had seen in that lush green world around me during my childhood. I have never had the perseverance to sew up time-consuming projects. Tracing pictures from books often seemed quite unexciting and so I was contented with a little flower or herb design which would be very original and thereby tangible – to me. 
When compared to the elaborate projects my mother did (on entire five-metre sarees), my attempts are of no much significance, but just something plain, simple and at times childlike/childish. 🙂 Check them out!
The embroidery on a short top. These blue flowers were found all over the place.
I love these pink-rose-white flowers which actually grow in bunches.
The short pants made for my elder one. The inspiration - the beautiful daisies in our garden.
The following are the nameless flowers which were there in our garden and in the surroundings.
The next three are the designs made on my onion-garlic-potato holder made using a battery-display stand (gift from a shopkeeper) and the canvas cloth of rice bag.
Wait! Once I did attempt something serious – a montage design.
- It took me more than three weeks to complete this.
Now I feel I should once again fall in love with needles and threads, before my eyes fail me more.
