Hello....
This is my first post and have no idea how to start! We moved to the UK three months back and my husband, my 3 year old doll and I have, well.. As Dr Sheldon Cooper would say it... 'found our spot!'. :-) We've moved into our home-sweet-home, my husband has got busy with work and deadlines and travel and all that blah regarding work, which I'm blissfully out of now, my girl has started nursery and me.... Well, I've finally found time to doodle!! :-) (I hope I sound as happy as I feel!) I decided to go all out and have a great time for all of us by planning a nice Onam. Which I kinda did! :-)
A traditional Onam rangoli is done with flowers, flowers and more flowers! I really wasn't sure how cooperative my doll would be with an effort as much as that it would involve and since it would also mean leaving her alone to her devices ( which in my personal interest, I wasn't keen on!!). So, I introduced a variant... Water colours :-) and what a great idea that was!! It takes as much time, but it's more colourful and more importantly kept my girl happily busy! I did the border colours and madam helped me with the complete colouring! :-) Here is how it looked:-)

And I also managed to cook up a decent feast... Here is what I managed :-) The recipes are all traditional and standard, nothing exotic!
That's it for now... I had been itching to post so that I start off! Now I'm gonna be regular! :-)
