My nominations for Brilliante Weblog Premio -2008 are ......
On then to the meme.
1. What was I doing ten years ago?
That would make it 1998. I was visiting faculty teaching textile and design courses at NIFT, started embroidering one of a kind scarves and stoles without a clue of how to sell them. It was also the beginning of sorts of my association with the development and NGO sector - I did two projects that year one a design intervention project in Kasuti embroidery for the economic empowerment of women in Karnataka and the second was an enterprise resource development project creating products out of Sisal fibre also for women in rural Karnataka.
2.Five things on my to do list today.
Tag seven people for the Brilliante Weblog award and notify them.
Follow up on the repair of the washing machine the service guys have already been over three times!!!and the problem has not been fixed, heaps of laundry to do.
Mark points on the wall where I want nails so I can finally put up illustrations and photographs which deserve to be viewed at eye level rather than propped up against the wall at floor level.Hopefully get someone to put in the nails as well.
Grind up the rice and lentils left to soak over night and make the batter for adai.We will be having adai for dinner tonight.

Hi Million Stitches,

You are both most welcome Priya and Caroline.I hope something more interesting works out for you Caroline you deserve the best.
Hey Embelisher,
I am so touched, thank you very much for thinking of Burnt Mouth :-)
Btw. T&T round-up is up and running, hope to see you in July´s challenge.
Hello Zlamushka,That's a great round-up and I'd like to part of the July challenge - What's for lunch Honey is a great site with some fantastic photography.
hi, just spotted my name, thanks for the award :-)
Hello, I see you are part of TIF and Stitchin fingers.
Will you be part of Robin Atkin's 2008 Bead Journal Project too ? I'd love to see your beadwork !
Hi Helene, No I'm not a part of Robin Atkin's 2008 Bead Journal project, not that I didn't want to participate but I discovered the project long after it had started and there was too much of catching up to do.I'm keeping an eye on Robin's blog to see when she announces the next project, i haven't really done too much beadwork of any sort but i'd like to try after seeing all that people are doing.
Hello again :o)
This is the link to enroll in the BJP project :
http://www.beadjournalproject.com/reg.htm
The deadline for enrolling is August 15th, and the project actually starts in September.
I hope you join us !
Kind regards.
Thanks for the link and for letting me know that the 2008 bead Journal Project is yet to start Helene. I had it all mixed up, I was still in 2007.Yes I think I should join, its going to be a decade of fiber journals.
I hope you do join us !
You know I had virtually no experience in beading when I joined in may 2007. This year has proved fantastic for me in terms of art, friendship, and life experience !
I love this idea of people committing to stitch love throughout the world for a year, exploring their own pains and joys; this is true magic ! :o)
