Finally, I can say I have finished the Abstract Cat Crochet Blanket. I made a border too.

The blanket measures 37.5 “X62″. The border is made in double crochet using the red Red Heart yarn.

Now i am working on a scarf. The multicolored crochet cotton thread is creating an interesting pattern. I got it from Love Of Crochet magazine.

For Tory Stafford

For Tory Statfoord

I heard you were missing.
I saw your smiling face on TV. I saw your mom on TV.
I was anxiously praying for your safe return.
Where might you have gone?
I was listening to news every chance I got
Praying and waiting…
I didn’t even know you.
But, you made my heart ache

One fine day, they showed a young woman
Accused of the reason for your disappearance.
Still
I hoped nervously, you will be alive
You will come home
Then they searched and searched.

They found you… very late
My eyes were watery
They got him
Tory, I prayed for justice
That was all left to do

I believe,
You’ll be smiling from the sky
Or
Are you crying?
Do you want to be with your mother and brother?
My little girl
We never met, But you live in my heart
Forever.

Victoria Stafoord went missing on April 8,2009 from Woodstock, Ontario. Later we came to know that she was abducted by Terry-Lynne McClintic and her boyfriend Michael Rafferty. Tory’s remains were found on Jyly 19,2009. She was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered.

McClintic is already serving a sentence. Today, Rafferty was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 25 years.

Did the justice served? Will the family be healed with time?

 

Pink Bracelet

I love pink. In the stash, I have pink beads, in different shades.
I have beading wire.
There are pink buttons.
So, off I went to make…
A Bracelet

I thought, I should add it to my Etsy shop. If anybody is interested a tutorial, please let me know in the comments.

Beads are very pretty. They come in different sizes, shapes and prices.

I would love to play with beautiful glittering expensive beads.

I dream… One day, I will get a chance…

My goal is to make an earring a day and post it on to my blog-spot blog

 

Pledge Furniture Polish Review

I know, you may be thinking, why on earth Bindu Blogs is reviewving Pledge furniture polish!!!

Now, let me tell you, without a bit of Pledge, my living room is going to be very dusty looking. I used to have the Lemon aerosol version.

Pledge lemon

I like the lemony smell fills the room after dusting.

I use it to spray on a paper tower or soft cloth and wipe down all the counter tops in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, all of my wooden furniture. It leaves the scent and the shine.

It is safe on the marble counter tops and the mirrors on the bathroom. Easier to use than the glass cleaner. But, I don’t want to use it on the glass ceramic stove top though. I am scared of what will happen, like any toxic chemicals when I use the stove after that…

Recently i bought the Pledge Furniture spra Extra Moisturizing spray. That has a different colored can

It does have the smell of lemon. I spray a bit on the paper towel, not directly on the surface. I just think that, spraying directly will finish up the product fast. May be next time, I should try a spray bottle.

There is a very green and very cost effective way to substitute Pledge though.

That is to add half a cup of olive oil and the juice of one lime mixed with a cup of water in a spray bottle. But, I am lazy. Also, the oil will be on the counter top. Then I have to have another cleaner for the mirrors.

Right now, this is working for me. I can finish up my daily cleaning in less than 15 minute. Also, I came to know that Pledge can be used to shine the motorcycle, from the web.

So, I am going to try pledge on the steel  faucets as well as to shine my handbag.

What you use to clean your furniture?

PS: I am not getting paid to write about this product.

 

 

 

 

Look what I made today

After making the wrapped loop, I could’t resist to make a new pair of earrings.

You can see that I am more in to jewelry now, here and here.

I cut the chain in equal lengths and strung them on a jump-ring. Then just attached it to the eye of the eye-pin. Added a bead, made a wrapped loop and attached earring wire.

Now look what I made!!

Earrings with chain tassels

How you like them? Do you think I should add them to my Etsy shop?
