Hindi Ornament Part 2

 Here is another collection of Hindi Ornaments that I created this year .. My nieces initials are K and E .. so I translated them in hindi. Some hot glue and beads and ornament .. and  you get is a beautiful ornament that kids can point and say " See in hindi my name starts with this " .. I can't wait to see what are their reactions ..

Hindi Ornament

  While decorating my Christmas tree this year I thought of making ornaments for my nieces ..When I sat down to think what can I make I had lots of ideas ...however each idea ended with the same thought .. well they can but that from Target,Pier1 etc .. so what can Aunt Meenakshi make that is special ..So I had felt ribbon, embroidery thread ... my niece Kate is a year old .. I made a felt onsie ..but how was that special ...?? common Aunt Meenakshi you can do better ...while sitting at the dinning room table and talking to mom I said why don't I make the initial of her first name "K" on onsie ...and then my hindi instinct grew and I decided to make the same letter in hindi ...It started to look cute so I added a hanger on the onsie made with floral wire ...look for yourself and see what you think ? I will post template and instructions soon .. but all you creative folks out there you get an idea and I am sure if you like it you have already started making it :)

For our Thanksgiving party at work we were having Pot Luck so I signed up for desert .. I tried looking and since I am not a big Pie fan I wanted to make something different. Cake Pop ..I said " That sounds good" ...with this easy recipe it was so quick to make .. My co workers were blown away and all 40 cake pops were gone in no minutes .. For Christmas it is going to be Red Velvet cake pops with sprinkles on top .. yeah I know I can't wait as well .. Thanks to Bakerella for the amazing video ...
