Will you still love me tomorrow?

Asked Mr. Blog

And I said,

Of course, I will!

I may not have posted for a couple of days

(ok, more like a couple of weeks)

But, I'll always love you!

[Wah! Two songs already! One this and one that]

And I missed you too

My dear readers

From all the twelve..

No wait!

Thirteen is it now?

..Zodiac signs

What do you think of this new fangled sign? Will a lot of lost souls find redemption in the confusion Ophiuchus has caused?

I am sure it must have been the stars

That kept me away from you

I am back now

Though not with a bang

But easing my way back

(with a really sore back and a maniac disruptive touchpad, if I may complain a bit)

Into what has so far been
A very interesting year

 I'll be back soon

For I do have lots to share

But tell me

Will you still love me tomorrow?

[If you hadn't started humming yet, I bet now you will!]

[Vintage gorgeousness from one of my favorite blogs. Remember this?]

Hello 2011!

And, Hello you!

May this year, and this decade

Be the best ever

For you

And

For me!

In the very first post of the year, let me introduce you to Ingrid Khan. Ingrid, who stays in Sweden, developed a deep appreciation and love for the traditional stitch and textile craft from Bangladesh, during her many travels to the Indian sub-continent. She works with women artisans from the country, and creates, what could only be called, heirloom textiles.

 This work is known as Nakshi kantha and has traditionally been done on old sarees/fabric. Now, it is also done on silk and fine cotton, or dhaka muslin. Each handcrafted piece can take up to two months or more to make.

Ingrid's love for design from Indian sub continent is clearly visible in her beautifully done up home...
