Pre-monsoon showers bring flowers

Photo taken by my husband.

We got some impressive pre-monsoon showers recently. Lots of chirping birds and beautiful new flowers. Monsoon is supposed to hit the city today.

Off to yoga! Photo taken by my husband.

Waiting for rain, I made a yoga bag for my mat. I used Amy Butler's Nigella yoga bag pattern. While sewing it, I wasn't convinced about the utility of the pockets. I didn't think I'd use it for anything other than car keys, but my Klean Kanteen (not in the photo) fits perfectly. I used it yesterday, and the fact that it doesn't have any closures isn't such a big deal.

I recently bought a bunch of zippers and notions, and had no place to put them. To reduce the clutter and mess, I made a box bag from some scrap fabric. To make it pretty, I used some zari. I rather like it!
