Confusion

It's been too long since my last update. I have been busy working on the project. I think I will be working this project well until mid May. It is a very laborious project and a pain in the neck. I mean that literally...every morning I wake up with a stiff neck. On top of that, in my craziness I committed to sew 5 aprons. My dear hubby knocked some sense into me and advised me to finish one project at time. He told me not to rush this thing & to take my time, cause so far it has turned out well and he did not want me to mess it.

I also wanted to clear all the confusion occurring in the minds of my friends. Some wanted to know if I am building the real Sheesh Mahal...I would rather bungee jump than attempt something like that.

No, I am creating a mosaic wall decor (wall hanging) made of all broken mirrors inspired by the Sheesh Mahal. The space on the wall above the couch area in my living room is empty. I need something to occupy that space. Here is a see-thru.

Incomplete

So it is official. March came and went, and I was unable to finish the Sheesh Mahal project on time. I am still hunting for materials.  It is so frustrating. According to our guide at the Amer Fort...the materials for the Sheesh Mahal, especially the mirror pieces were imported from Belgium. So,  it was easier for the Maharaja to get all the materials from far off places in the 17th century, than it is for me. Even with all the progress that we have made since then, I am having trouble finding small golden glass pieces today. So my new deadline for this project is April 30th.

In the meantime I have decided to start with the a new project for the month of April. Being aware of my habits, I did not want to give myself any time to waste. So for this month's project, I will be sewing aprons. Five of them. My  current Apron is on its deathbed....waiting for a proper burial at a landfill somewhere. I need 2 aprons for myself...while the other 3 are just for challenge purpose. I want to see if I can finish the Sheesh Mahal project and 5 aprons by the end of April...
