DIY Ideas - Wooden Clothespin Couple in Love

Bliss. Love this.

Totally inspired by the kissing clothespin couples' DIY ideas by Jessie Jane of LilyShop and Brittany Watson Jepson of The House that Lars Built.

I had pinned these a long time ago,

And here is my version. An Indianised version.

Red saree-clad young Indian woman kissing her man :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed doing this one. Quick, and brings a smile to my face each time I see it!

Materials used ... wooden clothespin, a strip of cloth resembling a saree, black and red acrylic paint.

Linking on to That DIY Party and Craft-O-Maniac to share today's joy.

DIY Ideas - Decoupaged Coasters

I decided to go Handmade this wedding anniversary of ours.
And went berserk with the DIY ideas in my head, mod podge, coloured handmade Auroville paper, and three plain wooden coasters who simply got weary being called plain-Jane by daily morning cups of tea!

Better half S is a super-dad, loves football and is a great companion. So all I had to do was to make the three coasters tell these stories...
