Pumpkin season!

Seems like fall has started in Abu Dhabi!!!. The temperature is finally cooling down little by little. Morning and evenings are pleasant with slight breeze while the heat is bearable at day time. The fine weather makes it perfect to visit park and beaches in the evening...

I also find myself going out more often than before and noticed all the malls geared up to welcome fall and the summer clothing and accessories are replaced by winter collections, hoodies and sweater (even though it's not that cold).

The fall is never complete without pumpkins, right?? so i made some cutesy small pumpkin charms..


Made these charms using Fimo airdry clay.. The clay was good to work with but the only problem is that i couldn't mix colors to them.. i had to paint the clay after it got dried off..



Also painted some flowers in my sketchbook...




Enjoy the fine weather while it lasts.. Wishing you all a fantastic day! cheers :)


Ombre crochet phone cozy..

No matter how many phone cases i make, i always seem to misplace them somewhere.. my last crochet phone cover has been missing for months now and i feel guilty every time i shove my phone carelessly into my bag while going out. So i gathered it's high time to make a new one..


It's a free pattern from Haak maar raak! this pattern uses Herringbone half double crochet and i loved that the stitches look neat and tight compared to double crochet...




Hoping atleast this phone cover lasts longer than the previous ones...


Hoping you guys are having a lovely weather... Happy October!!
