It has more than a month since I wrote a post. I went to India to participate in the engagement of my nephew,Bablu.. This is an arranged marriage.The bride’s name is Gayathri- very sweet girl. 
I had a wonderful time. On the auspisious time ,the priest reads aloud the marriage invitation, so we made adecorative panels[madal] to stick the invitation-
the bride’s groom
I made 2 boxes to store these panels-
We also made a thoran[flower arrangement on the entry way]
we tied short artificial flower strips together , to achieve this result-
The previous day was the valentine’s day- for this we designed a chocolate bouquet-
I also enjoyed embroidering my nephews kurthas-
I wore a kancheevaram silk sari[veldhari- horizontalgold thread all over]
Iam here with my manni[brother's wife] . these are her sons. The dark green sari is our family friend-
I’ll continue with my embroidery details from the next post. Thankyou all for all the wonderful comments , you have taken effort to send. These are helping me a lot.I’ll deal with your requests for your tutorials. after I tackle my stitch challenges, I have just started on my stitch explorer challenge.-chicken scratch
