Hindi

As those of you might now I'm learn Hindi I know that I have not posted in while about how things are going with that and that is because I have not been able to practice for little bit I have had some work things stressing me out which I'm no long going to do I'm going start back with my Hindi I  want to learn how to speak read and translate it. I know some people think I'm nuts for this but on well I don't care it's one the many lanuges that I want to learn. It's very interesting as well to learn another lanuage as well.

Learning how to knit hookers!

Many people do this everyday no matter where they are at, to some of us it's foreign scary, interesting, looks fun. Some people many turn there nosies up at this as well never to give this though or wonder how could you? For us C hookers[ not the hooker you think of] that is crochet hookers we might turn our nose up at this because it takes two needles to us I' sure you are wondering what I'm talking about! I'm talking about well I'm talking about knitting. I'm crocheter by heart I love doing it, but I have thought of knitting for years esp because I have knitting needles that were my grandmothers she use to knit so I figured why not learn something new see how I like it maybe I can make some cool interesting things. But the confusing parts for me are starting the cast on and the whole putting the yarn over the other needle and through it plus I have two sticks to deal with, along with this while knit stitch and purl stick can get confusing at times for most of us that crochet! None the less I'm still going to learn how to knit I'm sure once I get use to using two needles and learning how to cast off when I'm doing with project will get easier for me as I go on. I know some of my follower hookers are like how could you want to go over to that side as well? My answer to them is why not we have lots in common with one another why not give this try see where I get plus I'm one for not giving up at something that I try! I will keep everyone posted on how things are going.

Hindi Lesson 2

I'm on unit 1 lesson 2 in Hindi it's going pretty well I'm taking it slow to make sure that I understand everything, that is one thing that I like about Livemocha.com you can take your time or go as fast as you want to with them. So far I have been going over the lesson to make sure that I have it down, it's not easy to learn another lanuage I will say that much. It would be easyer if I had people round where I lived that are learing Hindi as well that way we can speak to one another in it I will have to find out where I can look for other that are learn it around my area and chat with them. Lesson 2 is interesting but I still want to learn how to read hindi no just speak it  did find flash cards on the site that are help in learning how to read Hindi, and with the flash card you can also take quize as well to see if you are right in what you learned as well with thise flash cards.

Learning Hindi Lesson 1

I just completed lesson 1 in Hindi it's going great expect when it comes to reading Hindi is where I'm having the problem but I will find something that will help me learn how to read Hindi. I did find on Livemocha.com that there are flash crads that help you learn as you go along in your lessons along with people to speak with that are on the site who are native in the lanuage. I need to get better at prnoucing words but all good things come in time right. I didn't learn how to speak english  or rather learn how to pronouce words in english right when I was learning how to talk. I have gotten confused on some words but I'm getting better at them.

Since I have been wanting to learn Hindi and I don't want to spent the 500.00 Rosetta stones want plus I can't afford it either! Once I read about this site I went right over to it read about singed up on the site and started to learn Hindi that night. It is kind of easy to learn on this site you even get help form other people on this site, along with exercises that you can work on as well, even one where you can record yourself on it and summit to the site and someone on the site that is native at that language will tell you how well you did or what you need to work on. How ever I find one bad things with this site as I'm learning Hindi I wish they had something in there to teach you to read it as well not just speak it. That is the only thing I'm finding wrong with the site however I'm sure there is someone that can help me with this, I'm going to keep at it. I will post blogs as much as I can about it.

I have always found Henna as something that is very beautiful fun creative and interesting! I'm big fan of Henna I love to get it done when ever I have change to, I even when and bought Henna kit to learn how to do Henna! It truly is art all of it's own henna is art where you can create look pattern draw it up and place it on part of body and make it or you can do it free hand. Heena is popular in India they do henna over there for wedding festivals baby showers etc. It has gain popularity here in the states as art for or something to do for fun or see if you would like something tattooed on your body. Me I love henna because if I get sick of what I chose to have on my body it wears off or if I feel that I want something new I can just place it on there. I would love to have henna party sometime. I saw this photo on flickr I just though that I has to share this it's so amazing, yes some of these take time to place on the body but are worth the time they will take, I know as far as prices go it depends on who you go to what you want to have done as well. However do not go to someone who offers black henna because there is not such thing. Henna is all natural it works with your own body to create how dark or light it's going to come out, and it will last on you from week sometimes to two months depending.

making hand bags

Along with painting my paneling and crocheting projects I have decided that I want to make hand bags because I don't like and of the ones that I have seen and if I have they cost over 60.00 and right now I don't have that kind of money to spend on just one. I have sat and thought this over for what it cost me to buy the materil I can make 2 or 3 for the price of one! I tryed to make one lastnight but for got that I need to have the right side facing the wrong side oh well no biggie I will just rip the stiching out tonight when I get home and redo it. I can't wait I bought couple different patters lastnight and fabric as well so this should be fun. I'm hoping to make some to sell as well, but we will see where that goes.

painting my paneling in my bed room

Most people would say that I'm looking for trouble or looking to make more work for myself by painting over the paneling in my bed room. The truth be told I hate paneling, I'm sick of looking at old worn out paneling plus it's ugly! In order when I paint not to have the lines in the paneling show I must take caulking to the lines to fill then in,yes it takes time to do this but it's going quite quickly for me even thought I see it I will have to go over it second time. After I do all of this then I must sand the walls down to get ready to paint, now after this point most people would prim the wall well I got paint that has primer all ready in it so I'm good there, I know that my walls will take two or more coats to finsh but it will look great when it's all done I know that. I'm going to post before and after photos of how it's coming along. I will do that this week sometime.
