NOT SO HANDY - DIY (and some other stuff)

Formerly known as "WHAT'S WRONG ABOUT THE RIGHT THINGS?", this blog has changed course since Summer 2011. Instead of random thought/experience records, I see most of the posts are geared towards my DIY endeavors and throwing fewer things in the dustbin!! What a pursuit! I pat myself on the back...and why not so handy? Coz I am not. I can sew, paint a bit but don't own a drill, or sewing machine. So with limited bandwidth but great enthusiasm I try to make the best of my creative juices.

Kombucha Tea: Bottle love: addendum 1

Saw these re:usable corks at Target today. I thought these could go well the Kombucha tea bottle storage idea. I had tried plugging it with a used cork but after some time, the cork absorbed some of the oils and went through. I think the bamboo top of these corks will help hold it in place and also make it easy to pull out.

Mossimo Supply -- meet -- Fab India

I had been wanting to get a pair of red shoes but did not want to spend too much on them coz I knew I would be wearing them occasionally. I saw these flats at Target for $14. They felt comfortable, they were red and they were cheap. But Alas! not perfect. Faux patent leather was just too shiny for my taste and my wardrobe.

Enter, some scrap fabric from Fab India. I actually had set aside an old faded Kurta (long shirt worn in India over slacks like pajamas) from Fab India - my favorite store in India. The print on the fabric, though faded in portions was too good to give up!

They look cute together. Don't you think?
