This post is something special to me...
When I started blogging 6 months back
I never knew I would find it so engrossing...
and I never thought I would make so many posts
in a matter of 6 months...
I wish to take this oppurtunity to thank my
fellow blogger friends
whose feed backs and encouragement keep me going...
Now,coming to this post ...
Firstly ,let me tell you one thing....
This is not my work....
and it has an interesting story which
I wish to share with you all-
Some years back,there was a slogan contest in a
neighboring supermarket...
and I participated enthusiastically...
and the results were announced....
I did manage to get a consolation prize too!
But the supermarket guys were really elusive...
I made endless phone calls and visits in person too
to inquire about the "Prize"...
and at last, it did arrive after nearly 4 long months'wait.
And, when I opened the gift wrapped hamper,
I found two pista green towels ...
they had a white runners attached to one end
and it had some printed designs and a set of threads
and needles and an instruction sheet too...
But,somehow I never managed to sit down and work on it...
and in the course of time,I even forgot about it and
it was lying in some corner of my cupboard...
Once,while spring cleaning my cupboard,
my Mother rediscovered it and chided me for
letting it go uncared for!
"I have better use for it" she declared
when I happily passed it on to her...
with voluntary suggestions that it will make a
pair of handy face towels....
And I forgot it!
When I visited my Mother after some months,
I was surprised to see the towels neatly embroidered...
It was covering her favorite 3 in 1 music system!
I was astonished by Amma's nimble fingers and
incredible patience at this age...
"It is simple ..."she said...
"Everyday,I spent some 15 minutes to embroider
and this work was ready in a month or so..."She smiled...
And,fondly stroked the cute and dainty butterflies....
Now ,these towels have become the greatest gift
and my prized possession too...
