Good afternoon from this side of the planet . It's 3:45 PM as I write this post. It's a warm day. Summer is officially here since 19th of the month. We celebrated Holi( festival of colours) on 18th and that's the last festival of the spring and marks the beginning of summer. It's warmer than what one would expect during March. Seems like we are heading for a harsh summer this year. My city Bangalore does not get extreme temperatures and stays pleasant throughout the year. But seems this year it might be a different scenario. Climate change is the reality Yay!! Weekend is here.. I know that it's still Thursday but the weekend has started for me as I have taken a day off for some personal work tomorrow. I would be on roads for a good part of tomorrow ( I would make a separate post about the same). So, I plan to spend a good time in the kitchen in the evening and do some bulk cooking to keep things easier for tomorrow. I hope to come back here again in the night before hitting the pillow. It was long working day as I needed to finish certain things today itself as I am not working tomorrow. I was back home around 2:30 and had my lunch. Then I relaxed working on the other site before coming here. Now I plan to be here for a while. One post and answering the 50 notifications are my target for now before I head to other work. One of my friend has ordered for some paper flowers and jute flowers. That's a bulk order and she wants it by May first week. I need to start with few each day to reach the goal of two hundred..hundred of paper flowers and hundred of jute ones. I have not done any craft in recent times and so this would be exciting and keep me entertained. I have enough craft papers but might not have enough beads, half pearls and jute to make that bulk order. So, I would start with paper ones and meanwhile place orders for the rest. Hope all is well at your end. Been a while since I made a post. So feels good to catch up. Take care The image is of few handmade envelopes that I made a sold at our Christmas fund raising event. The flowers that I have to make are bigger and more elaborate.

I'd be more than happy to let you have the sleet/snow that is falling outside right now. Hopefully, it will melt off after the sun comes up. I'd like to see some of the flowers after you get them made, please. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

@arunima25 It's 0C here and I was looking forward to Spring. Pretty and I have our laundry room full of new plants for the flowerbed and the pots on the front porch. It's been Spring temps for the last week. Thank you. Maybe a post explaining how you made one of the flowers, if you feel like it, too?

We would wish for that snow in another one week. The mercury is rising steadily here. Today I walked back from my school with umbrella. And in just 15 minutes of walk back home, I was totally exhausted and sweating. I will definitely share the pictures of the flowers once they are ready.Even when I have made a few, I will post about them.

Sometimes l feel swamped when l get large orders to complete in a short time. ( l make handcrafted dolls for tourist shops) one of my business ventures. When you mention being on the road most of the day, l am thinking with great anticipation of my road trip planned for the summer.

Art and craft is not my main work. My work has got all the marketing through words of mouth. So, I don't accept a order if I find it tough to be completed due to other concerns. Glad to have few orders every once in a while. Who does not love to be appreciated and earn from doing something that you love. Big orders can be overwhelming but isn't it a blessing! Would love to see some of your dolls. Do share if you can and don't forget to tag me. I don't want to miss them

@snowy22315 Well, I have a job to keep me busy enough. I do art and craft as a part time thing. Never thought of making it big. I don't even deliver. People come to my home and pick them.

Thank you Judy. I will definitely post them once I have some ready. I am yet to start. Yesterday it took me longer than expected in the kitchen and I was totally exhausted. And today I am just back to home spending few hours on road. I will rest for a while with mylotting and then I need to run to neighborhood market complex in the evening to get few errands done. I hope to start them soon.
