Elder D's Birthday

Our eldest daughter turned 9 on Monday. It was a lovely day. Elder D was very excited about her big day as she was celebrating her birthday in school for the first time since we came to Maharashtra. She wanted her day to be different from the rest, She also chose to wear a palazzo to school as against a fairy frock.

Sorry, I do not have any images of her in this dress to share. But she looked beautiful. The dress was a gift from her uncle and aunt,

Elder D is not very good at drawing so we thought of gifting her the full series of Learn to Draw Human Figures and some pencils. And guess what she loved the gifts very much.

We celebrated her birthday by going to Someshwar temple, it is Elder D's favourite place here. Then we went to City Centre Mall and had a blast playing different games in the Timezone. And to end the day we went to Domino's for dinner. We did ordered Dessert Bliss, it was not as good as expected and was really very hot.would not order it again.

All in all it was a wonderful day,,

Little D's Bicycle

Since her second birthday we have been playing with the idea of buying a bicycle for Little D. We went to a few shops to see what type of cycle would be the best for her, Though tricycles looked good, somehow I was not completely happy about the idea. After visiting about 10 shops and seeing more than 25 bicycles and feeling all confused we finally came up with the idea of buying it online. We bought our Little D's first cycle via Paytm. The cycle reached us in good condition.

The cycle does looks beautiful and Little D loves it too. She has not been able to ride it yet as we are yet to fix the support wheels.

Though the deal was good and everything went fine with the delivery, The cycle came dismantled in a box packing. Meaning we had to fix it on our own, no manual was given. However Hubby Dear was able to do it with some trial and error. For the support wheels we do not have the right tools needed to fix them. Will be taking the cycle to a cycle shop to get the support wheels fixed. Only after that Little D will be able to ride it (sigh). 

A Sweater Ta-dah

In August I had started working on Little D’s sweater. I had decided to make her the Harvest cardigan, pattern from tincanknit blog. Though the pattern is simple and well explained I did got stuck at some points when it was about picking up the stitches and the provisional cast on. I referred to some online tutorials and Hurray! I was ready to go. 

Little D's sweater. She has worn it for a couple of times and it fits her just fine. It is little loose at the waist but looks good on her. And the color also suits her. 

Elder D's sweater. I finished it just a few days ago. When I started it I was not sure how well I will be able to make it. However it turned out to be fabulous. It fits her perfectly. 

Both the sweater in their full glory. They are just as I expected.
