Pobitara Wildlife Sanctuary

Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.  ~Standing Bear

We got an invitation to visit one of our friend's new resort in Pobitara. It's in the outskirt of Guwahati, around 1.5 hrs. Pobitara is Wildlife sanctuary for Elephants and One Horn Rhino, besides the world famous Kaziranga, this is one of the option for people to spend their weekends with nature.

We enjoyed the jungle safari on a jeep, hoping to see the famous one horn Rhino. And after 30 minutes inside the jungle, we got to see around 6 huge rhinos. Too bad I only got my mobile cam, so I can't take a good click. 

Spend sometimes in this natural beauty, always can lift up my spirit..

Have a beautiful Sunday

From The Holiday

I came back from Indonesia over a month back and I got some exciting experience this time. 

#1. I met an Indonesian Crafter, Dini. She lives in my hometown in Malang - East Java. It was through FB that we became familiar with each other. So, one day she told me she'd come and visit me. I was all excited.

She gave me her lovely crocheted bookmarks. They are so beautiful that I don't think I will be able to use it without spoiling it. Thanks a lot Dini...we should meet again next time..

Aren't they lovely? *_*

# 2.  I met another Indonesian crafter who is very talented, Eka Yunita. I know her from Facebook and have been (secretly) admiring her works. She's into Felt Crafts and Applique/Patchwork and Quilting. All her quilts are hand-quilted. She's teaching Crafts in few places I guess. For more information you can visit her BLOG.

the bottom right one is my favorite. It's depiction of Indonesian wayang (puppet). All the detail works are so fabulous. 

She published few craft books in Indonesia too and I bought one (before I met her). I found her shop quite coincident. I was roaming around the mall near the hotel, looking for a craft supply shop and when I saw her shop I was very thrilled. I asked the girl who sat there, and she told me the shop belong to Eka Yunita. I was so excited cos I want to buy the quilting stuff and I'd love to meet her in person. We met the following Tuesday. I thought of going to visit her again but somehow it didn't work out. Hopefully, we'll meet again next time...^_^

# 3.  I got a bunch of other crafts supplies, buttons and ribbons, and few fabrics too. I admit I have huge collections of fabric and some of them are available at the SHOP. My friend, Agnes, said I'm crazy...well, what can a girl do when those lovely prints fabrics screaming at her?? You know what I mean??

This is how my cupboard looks like after I rolled (wrapped) them into a cardboard. I should've done this before. I got the cardboards from my regular shop, they're selling fabric from trousers/suit. It's quite long (30") so, I cut them into 2 and wrap my fabric neatly. I must get few more next week. 

So, that's it. Now I better get back to work :). Thanks for stopping by...

Happy Crafting

Holiday

Summer holidays has come and gone..now everything is back to routine..morning hectic with the boys school, school's projects & homeworks, etc. Somehow I like this routine.

We went holidaying last month. Just the 4 of us, we went to the Andaman & Nicobar islands. We were looking for holiday destination which is not too far, not too crowded and children friendly. Port Blair on the whole is perfect. We had lots of fun. What I love best is it's natural beauty & the sea. Whereever you go, you get the glimpse of the sea, each corner has a different views.
It surely worth the second visit....there are still loots of place to visit there....
