Uthraada pookkalam

Today is “Uthraadam“ nakshathram. This is our Day 9 pookkalam.

Day 9 - Uthraadam

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi, Day 4 – Vishakham, Day 5 – Anizham, Day 7 – Moolam and Day 8 – Pooraadam. 🙂

And I’ve fallen ill 😦 Baaaad fever 😥 I don’t even know how I managed to sit through to complete this one. Well, right at the start, I was so tired and had an aching body, that made me very clumsy. After drawing an intricate, reeeeely awesome design, I spilt water all over it and washed away all the lines 😦 By then, I was almost in tears 😀 And then, we just did whatever we could: the main intent was to finish it ASAP and get into bed 😦

My Thiruvonam‘s gonna be bad, sad and dull. Waaaaaaahhhhh 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦

Pooraada pookkalam

Today is “Pooraadam“ nakshathram. This is our Day 8 pookkalam.

Just 2 more days to go 😦 Am already sad this is getting over. Sigh!

Day 8 - Pooraadam

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi, Day 4 – Vishakham, Day 5 – Anizham and Day 7 – Moolam. 🙂

Today is “Moolam“ nakshathram. This is our Day 7 pookkalam. 🙂

Sorry folks, there was a jumble up with the order of the stars. It goes like this :
Atham, Chithira, Chothi, Vishakham, Anizham, Thrukkaetta, Moolam, Pooraadam, Uthraadam and  Thiruvonam. On Thiruvonam, the last of the pookkalam is designed, as grand as can be!

So, I missed out Vishakham earlier, and had named that one Anizham. So, actually, today is Moolam nakshathram.

Day 7 - Moolam

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi, Day 4 – Vishakham, Day 5 – Anizham and Day 6 – Thiru Kaetta 🙂

Thrukkaetta pookkalam

by

Today is “Thiru Kaetta“ nakshathram. This is our Day 6 pookkalam. 🙂

The border, with all that multi-colour flower arrangement, is the result of left over, almost-wilted flowers from the past days 😉 Effective utilisation of the entire flower collection 😉 😉 😉

Day 6 - Thiru Kaetta

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi, Day 4 – Vishakham and Day 5 – Anizham 🙂

Today is “Anizham“ nakshathram. This is our Day 5 pookkalam. 🙂

Ahem! Creativity dying out, i suppose 😀 Can’t tink of innovative designs anymore 😀 Lack of greens is very apparent. Lesson learnt. Tomorrow, there’ll be more greens 😀 😀

Day 5 - Anizham

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira, Day 3 – Chothi and Day 4 – Vishakham 🙂

Vishakham pookkalam :)

by

Today is “Vishakham“ nakshathram. This is our Day 4 pookkalam. 🙂

As is apparent from the relative lack of flowers, let me tell you…yesterday, we couldn’t steal 😦 I reached home late and was daaaaaamn sleepy, and couldn’t go flowers thieving 😀 Hence the sloppy design 😀 😀 Tomorrow’s gonna be much much better 😀

Day 4 - Vishaakham

And  here’s what we designed on Day 1 – Atham, Day 2 – Chithira and Day 3 – Chothi 🙂
