Pot Full Of Happiness!!

Never miss any update from my blog. Like my Facebook Page click here.

I have a confession.......

Yes I am obsessed with recycling, lotus and Buddha  and this post is combo of recycling and lotus obsession.

My husband had a sudden desire of drinking natural cold water of a clay pot last summer. So we got this black pot but it had some leakage problem so was lying unused. Then one day I just picked it up and without even a proper plan in my mind I just painted it blue. Then it was lying like that for a week because I had no clue about what to do on it. 

Then my obsession with lotus came to rescue and I painted a blue lotus on it. It was looking very beautiful and suddenly it has become 'pot full of happiness' :)

Then bit emptiness was there or something was missing so one pink lotus came to give it company and it was
'sheer happiness'

Pink one became my favorite. Getting dried and getting ready to get a coat of protective layer so that I can use this pot as planter and can keep it outside as well.

Here is a complete look. Adding cheer and pop of color to my balcony garden.

A closer look. Looks mesmerizing whenever I look at this pot. Lotuses look so real and happy.

Enjoy some more views of the pot :)

It looks wonderful indoors..................

as well as outdoors.........

I have a beautiful baby pink Bougainvillea that I'll plant in this pot. That will be icing on a cake and all of you wonderful readers you just stay tuned to see whether bougainvillea will add the charm to pot or pot will enhance the beauty of bougainvillea :) Will be a fun to see that!! Till then you can suggest me a nice and appropriate name for this pot :)

Wish you a very happy and creative weekend ahead!!

Take a look of all my DIY projects here.

Update: I have planted bougainvillea in it and this is how it looks.........

Rakshabandhan: The Bond Of Love

Rakshabandhan is a festival when sister ties a sacred thread on brother's wrist. Brother vows to protect her and sister showers her love and care on him. Tomorrow is Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) and this post is dedicated to all the sisters and brothers around the world.

"Good relationships are like needles of a clock, they only meet for sometime

but always stay connected"

I am happy that my siblings and I are like those clock needles. As kids, together we fought a lot, played a lot, enjoyed a lot, learnt a lot. Now we have grown up, live far away from each other and have our own family, but still we are connected, cherish those memories, always there for each other and that's a bliss.

Here are my quilled rakhis for my brother. You know how I love everything handmade.

I used different quilling techniques to make these rakhis.

Here is my platter full of love for my brother. Did you notice that golden lotus.....its made of pistachio shell during Diwali. I took it out just for Rakshabandhan.

Look how happy and calm my Buddha looks with this Lotus.

Wish all brothers and sisters a very happy, peaceful and memorable Rakshabandhan :)

Linking it to Tuesdays at Our Home

Almost after ten years again I'm playing with colors. This is the longest time that I didn't touch brushes, colors and canvas :-(
