Popcorn




Little secret: I sometimes go to the movies just to feel the taste of popcorn on my palette! :)

Let it go


Watched this movie in 3-D... Awesome ending and hummable songs!!! The song 'let it go...' Was soothing and refreshing at the same time... Could not let it go!!! 

Oooooohhhh!! The ice structures were depicted very beautifully. I love Olaf the snow man too!! :)

Sahasam

After a long long time, I watched a movie that I loved a lot!! It is a Telugu movie by name: "Sahasam". It kept me glued to my seat until the end.

It is an adventure movie... reminded me of Indiana Jones... I loved it!! I hope there will be more movies like these in Indian languages!

Bump it no more

Last December my nephew told me about this app that can transfer photos between mobiles by just bumping the mobiles to each other... At once, I fell in love with the app. I downloaded the app and talked about it with all my friends and they began using the app as well.

We did not have to upload pics and send them through email or get frustrated with why the laptop was unable to connect to mobile phone using Bluetooth... The bump.it app made everything so simple and easy.

But just today I got an email saying this app will be discontinued from this February... I feel so sad... There are very few apps that I use and I am get very attached to them. 

This is the second tool that google is retiring... The first one being igoogle..

I will miss you oh bump!!!

First Zipper :)

Phew! One more step conquered.
I have never felt comfortable with sewing zippers; but now I am!

Materials Used:

  1. Outer Fabric - 2 pieces - 10" X 5"
  2. Inner Fabric -  1 piece  - 10" X 9"
  3. Zipper - 11" length

Place the inner fabric right-side up, zipper right-side down & outer fabric right-side up.

Stitch the edge.

Take the other piece of outer fabric. Sandwich the other edge of zipper between the outer fabric and other edge of inner fabric.

Stitch the edge. Whenever the zipper pull comes in the way, gently unzip the zipper so that the zipper pull will be away from the part of the edge that is being stitched.

Now the fabric is attached to the zipper.


Place the long edges of the outer fabric together, with right sides facing each other. Stitch the edge.

Now consider one of the shorter side. Place the right sides together and stitch the edge.
 
Now stitch the other edge. Ensure that there is a small opening left to turn the purse right side out.


Now with the help of the opening, turn the purse right side out. Then close the opening with hem stitch. Push the lining into the pouch.

Now the pouch is ready for V's swimming goggles! :)
Happy New Year!
