कब से भानजी के लिये यह फुल बना रखे हैं कि इनका श्रग बनाउंगी

आज ठाना कि इसे पूरा करने की तरफ कदम जरुर रखूंगी॥

कुछ घरलू नुश्खे परन्तु अंग्रेजी में ....My publication In Woman's Era Feb first 2011

महिलाओं की जानी मानी पत्रिका वोमंस ईरा में फरवरी के पहले इशू में मेरा एक लेख घर के काम-काज को आसान करने के कुछ सुझाव छपा जो यहाँ दे रही हूँ
यह ऊपर वूमंस ईरा का कवर पेज है...



यह लेख का पहला पेज...

यह रहा दूसरा.....
यह तीसरा....

यह आखिरी पेज...
कई बार घर के काम -काज उलझ जाते हैं तो यह काम की बातें बड़ी उपयोगी सिद्ध होती हैं ...इन्हें सहेजिये और अपना काम आसान कीजिए... आप इन्हें कोपी कर प्रिंट करवा सकती हैं और सुविधानुसार अपने घर के दरवाजे के पीछे चिपका लें और ज़ब जरुरत पड़े इनका लाभ लें। इन्हें एक-एक कर आजमायें ...धीरे-धीरे आपको याद हो जायेंगी और आपके व्यवहार का सहज हिस्सा हो जायेंगी...फ़िर आपको सुघड़ ग्रहणी कहा जयेगा !

Me-Made

My creativity ...

I made it out of my mother’s suit of velvet, my NANU gifted her in 1956।

I made mine ……..refishoned it….when I was in 9th standard in the year 1968.

Peek into it ….lots of space to tote…books, crochethooks, yarn, personal belongings, as per your tour.
The linning is made up with my sarri suit.. my mother’s old saree transformed into my suit..then interlinning of this purse with stud closures.

I made this purse out of green velvet reused… recycled…redisigned … reduced …three times….
Beautiful purse to tote utilities….


Still in good condition!
