I need to get organised

An innocuous question by Ria set me thinking, she wanted to know what I was working on.
In all honesty I have to admit I really don't know what i am working on..a round of this ..a row of that.. a few stitches here..a few lines frogged there...the house looks like Katrina stopped by on her way back from the USA..debris..and i mean crochet debris all over the place!
i am working on more than a doz doilies (some of them would be better off being called UFOs), place mats to take for my SIL when we go visiting on 6 May, pondering over a teddy bear baby afghan that i saw on the net...the fendi bag.. i have the base done..need to begin work on the ruffles....
This seems to be a pretty bad case of crochet ADD.

It was my 2006 crochet resolution, to have only one ongoing project..or at the most one yarn and one thread project at a time.. so have to seriously start working on finishing stuff.

One way I guess i could do it is take one project to office every week..i get about 20-30 mins free during lunch break (not all days.) before i do that, i really want to list out my crochet WIPs/UFO's.

Sure hope I can get some FO's posted on a regular basis.

Vishu celebrations

I have been posting in my mind, but unfortunately this has not got translated into actual posts in my blog.
Our Vishu (New Year) celebrations went off very well. We managed a decent Vishu Kani, the first glimpse of prosperity on opening your eyes, despite limitations of living 3000 kms away from home











We really miss having bunches of golden laburnum to provide the touch of gold. You can see the few flowers we did manage to find after driving around the city.
