DIY : Valentine Special
" A Day Aside For L-O-V-E "

The most loved and awaited day of the year is fast approaching. It's a day for celebrating love and giving your loved ones a gift that shows them how special they are, after all Love itself signifies the strongest bond between two people. It may be a day of love and romance for some, a day of chocolates and cards for others. We find people all around celebrating this day in a special way with their special ones. There's no sweeter way to show your love by making few homemade gifts from your hands. So how about this Valentine pampering your love with something new instead of the same boring and outdated flowers and cakes.
Lets enjoy making a quick and easy surprise for your love !!






Get Started With :
  •  Polyester Felt Sheets
  • Scissors
  • Needle and Thread ( color of your choice )

Step 1 : Take polyester felt sheets of various colors. I did use eight different shades.  ( Pink, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, Dark Pink, Red & Mustard Yellow ). Cut them into heart shapes of common size as shown below :



Step 2 : Lay each heart of same color one over the other ( they should be mirror images of each other ) and start stitching. Next - its time to grab your embroidery thread, and start sewing down with a blanket stitch. Start at the bottom, slightly off center and stitch around until there is only about 1 inch opening. I used white color to add little more fun !

Step 3 : Now grab your poly fill / cotton and stuff the hearts, making sure its evenly filled. Finally, complete the blanket stitch and sew back through your stitches to secure your shapes.


Step 4 : All done! Surprise your dear one with these little multi color hearts and will love it forever :)










Hope you enjoyed this simple yet awesome V-D DIY ...

I came across this story the other day.  In this story, the sun accidentally burned the moon, who ran away.  The sun was so sad that his tears fell as rain on Earth.  The sun looked for the moon until midnight, but he fell asleep.  To this day, the sun is still looking for the moon, which is why the sun is visible in the morning and the moon is visible at night.   It’s that time of year again, when the weather is dreary and we long to see the sun, and even the moon. Together, the Moon and Sun create a perfect harmony—a balance of light and shadow, rest and action, mystery and clarity. Their love story is written across the skies, a timeless dance that connects us all to something greater. Sun is not just about i...

After a year of continuous work at school, my vacations finally commenced. It's probably the happiest and most awaited period in every student and teacher's life.

Even a large number of waterfalls were seen on our way.  ...
