Behind the Scenes of My Handmade Crochet Craft
Get a peek into my studio, where every loop of yarn turns into something special. From experimenting with new color palettes to crafting individual floral elements, this is where I bring ideas to life.
A new project is in progress. I am working on some new flower designs in purple and yellow. I am excited to see how these will turn out.
The new purple flowers are now part of a garland in progress, mixed with marigolds and mango leaves. This is how I experiment with new color combinations.
Another look at the components for my new floral project. Crafting these individual pieces is the first step in bringing a new garland design to life.

New projects are in progress, stay tuned. Sometimes the simplest shapes and brightest colors are the start of a wonderful new creation.
About this collection
When you look at these images, you are seeing the 'before' phase of my work—where I experiment with color combinations like deep purple and vibrant yellow or figure out how to best integrate traditional elements like mango leaves into my garlands. Crafting these individual floral pieces is the heart of my work; it takes patience to turn simple 4-ply acrylic yarn into the final, durable decor piece you eventually hang in your mandir or on your doors.
My process is rarely about speed. It is about patience and intention. Because I work from home, I have the time to focus on the small details that make these pieces last for years. Each flower is individually hand-stitched, and I prefer using high-grade acrylic yarn because it holds its shape even after washing. Whether it is a Navratri-inspired red hibiscus or a custom color scheme for your home, I treat every piece as if it were for my own house.
Why Hand-Stitched Yarn Matters
- Durability: Unlike fresh flowers that wilt in a day, my crochet blooms stay fresh season after season.
- Washability: You can dip-clean these items with mild detergent, making them truly reusable for every festival.
- Customization: Everything you see is a starting point. If you want a specific length for a toran or a particular color for your wedding decor, I can make it happen.
My Crafting Philosophy
I believe my crochet work carries the blessings of effort and love, or as I say, 'जेव्हा कलेला मिळते भक्तीची जोड' (when art gets a touch of devotion). When I am working on a new project, I focus on the structure—ensuring the yarn stays tight and the petals look lifelike. For me, this is not just about making decor; it is about keeping traditional aesthetics alive in a modern, sustainable way. Whether it is a small keychain or a large festival garland, I put the same care into every stitch. If you have an idea for a custom gift or a specific decor piece for your home, reach out. I would love to hear what you are planning.
