Agni is the Sanskrit word for fire, which is cognate to the Latin word ignis — the root word for ignite.

Fire,

vivifies

and

purifies

.

.

It is

the destroyer

of afflictions.

The agni mantra

can be chanted,

while you undergo

purification by fire.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 520 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 9 trips to carry that many people.

It’s a gloomy day today. Well, at least it was, till it rained cats and dogs! This is just the kind of day that makes me want to just lay on my bed, doing nothing … but today is just different!

I finished a whole round of the Metis set and 110 situps.

I went out early, to hand my extra seeds to a friend.

Washed my dirty baseball cap.

Meditated…

And these are not the things that I do on a regular basis.

Sounds like a miracle!

And even with the gloomy atmosphere, I cannot help to notice my sunny disposition. Today is just a special day for me. It’s my fifth month being a happy Catapulter, and therefore, I am now a regular employee. I did not expect to get a raise … so, read my lips:

R.A.I.S.E!!!

you get the idea how much that is.

And now, WordPress just congratulated me, because I signed up with them a year ago. Imagine that! WordPress remembered, and I did not. hmmm… Could that be a sign of something?

I don’t know.

You tell me. 🙂 

‘love you, Folks! but bye for now…

Turtle Amigurumi & Turtle Shell Hexagon Baby Blankie

30 Sunday Jun 2013

To all Crochet lovers, this one’s a priceless treasure! Surely, this is a project that we’d like to work on in the near future … Happy Sunday to One and All!

Heavenly Homestead

For this project, I used the Turtle Crochet Along Pattern – “Sheldon” from Little Muggles. You can find the free amigurumi pattern for Sheldon here. You can also find Little Muggles on Facebook.

TurtleSet

I made my first attempt in classic turtle colors in greens and browns as a baby shower gift for a little guy, but a non-traditional version is in the works!

If you like the colors I used to make my Sheldon the Turtle, here is what I used:

Caron Simply Soft in Bone for his head, legs/feet, tail

Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Dusty Green for top of his shell

Red Heart Super Saver in Cafe for the bottom of his shell

Michael’s Loop and Threads Snuggly Wuggly in Silly Sprite

I stitched the amigurumi turtle as specified in the pattern using a G-hook (4.00 mm) except I crocheted in the back loops only (BLO)…

blogger, WordPress

Hey …how’s the weather down there? 🙂

On this side of the world where I am right now, it’s gloomy with a few scattered rainshowers. So that makes me happy having done with the laundry yesterday. This morning, I spent my time sending out applications for an online job. You see, I’ve been working for about 18 years and then suddenly, I plunged into being a fulltime Homemaker. Not that I am regretting it, no! It’s just that after a year of home organization, and trying to manage the kids, I am left with nothing to do at times – especially, when the kids are in school. On a positive note, I am sure I’ll find something online other than blogging.

And speaking of blogs, which have entranced me greatly since the start of this year, I am slowly falling in love with WordPress. Now I am starting to ask myself a lot of questions, with still no answers. Though I am not in a hurry to find the answers, I thought of writing them down in a blog, hoping that someone will come across it and perhaps, have the answer.

Here they are … Would I be able to ‘re-post’ my blogs here to my blogger.com site? Is there a way I can import my old blogs from the other site to WordPress? Oh, I’d certainly want to do the second one, so I would not have to maintain two blog sites. If and when that happens, then I cannot go on saying I am a fulltime mom, but a fulltime blogger! LOL.

awww … hussssssssssssssshhh! my daughter has fallen asleep from playing Temple Run.

and here comes the rain again,

falling on the rooftops, like teeny-weeny  beating drums

Monday, schoolday

It is again a start of a new week, waking up at 4:30 in the morning to prepare the kids for school. My little girl stands up from the bed, still half awake – and I have to make sure she’s bathed, eaten her breakfast, and properly donned her uniform. My son can very well do these things himself and rarely needs me with preparation. Besides, his class starts at 7:30, whereas my daughter’s class is at 6:00! It really is a great challenge for us to be there on time.  And so far, since school has started this 3rd of June, we’ve never been tardy.

Great job and keep it up, Kiddos!

Here’s wishing everyone a happy Monday, and a good start for this week!

Goldilocks

Cosplay, Goldilocks, The Story of the Three Bears

Cosplayers,

they’re everywhere!

So, the Kids and I have considered for some time

to join Cosplay events.

We have not decided on anything yet, but when my daughter and I came across a very affordable ‘golden’ wig,

we grabbed one

and thought about Goldilocks, or a Mädchen wearing a Dirndl, or perhaps Pearl from Starlight Express!

We got home, and with the wig in possession,

everyone now wants to become blondie…

First one to try it out was Sophia, of course.

Sophia

Sophia

I don’t know, but with the above pic

I think, she looks more like Barbie than Goldilocks.

And next applicant to the Goldilocks position is my son,

Veenz Bjorn.

Well, Bjorn is a Scandinavian name, which means ‘bear’.

So, should he be the bear instead of Goldilocks?

But just the same, he tried the wig on,

and though he said that we agreed for me not to post the picture,

I did not – never agreed to it.

In fact, I never can remember that we had this agreement before I took a shot. 🙂

Bjorn

Bjorn

And last, but not the least, contender for the Goldilocks position is

Aeris March!

Aeris

Aeris

Aeris is my (almost) sis-in-law’s daughter, who has come to visit us for the weekend.

So, who should be Goldilocks, among the three bears?

🙂

.

.

.

I can’t make up my mind.

Maybe, all three of them!

Hope you had fun with us

Thanks for stopping by…

See yah!

The Printshoppe Man

07 Friday Jun 2013

Posted by lotus1225 in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

I met a man.
A tall, attractive, white man.

He asked me,
“what does JA stand for?”
It means yes, in German
I replied.

He then followed with a few short German sentences
which by now, I have forgotten.
But I recalled him saying,
he’s Norwegian and not German.

I did not have time to ask him after that
Do Norwegians speak German too?
Ah, but that is not the point.

Well, there is none.
It’s just that,
I met a man.

 
(This is the result of my frustration about a question I was unable to ask about this man I met in a Printshoppe …)

Thanks for stopping by.
See yah!
