no cooking day nd cent studded pouch...

yesterday ie saturday was no cooking day for me,..

reason-

hubby on night call
me not well
advay was awake whole day..
and i desperately needed break from cooking for a day...

so i survived on fruits,wholemeal bread nd tea,..tea really acts like a moodshifter for me... nd while advay was playing i did some thread work,bead work nd coin work ;-) on a pouch which was lying abandoned in one corner..took whole day to complete,..but was really when i finished it cause i could recollect how i used to do mirror work,,which i had learnt 8 yrs back,,i got this pouch with socks,,but with help of threads nd beads,added colours to the dull pouch,,nd converted it from socks pouch to mobile pouch...
