The little things..

'Enjoy the little things in life'.
How true is this quote! Among our hectic day to day life, we often fail to recognize the beauty that is all around us. We just have to look for it.
Some of the little things that made me smile/happy this week..

Squirrel munching on food while i took a morning walk around the house

Lovely flowers that bloomed in our little garden

Our pet lovebirds after enjoying a nice bath on a hot day.

Receiving these lovely quilled keychain from my cousin sis who also loves to craft.

A finally a little me time to do what i love:)

Wishing that you all may find such beautiful little things in your life to smile about everyday!

Getting back on track..

I'm slowly finding  my way back into crafting and have to say I've missed this incredible feeling of creating new things and i'm glad i shunned my laziness to do something productive.

Here's a look my new quilled earrings. I love making these as they don't comsume a lot of time and you can make earrings and pendant to match your dress..

You can find the video tutorial on how to make these here

Quilled Earring..

While talking to my mom on phone last week, she said that quilled earrings are now becoming quite a rage in our hometown and many liked the quilled card i made for my parents... this urged me take my quilling kit after a long time to make this earring.

I really liked the beehive technique used in some quilled earrings and wanted to try that.. hope it looks like it.. you can find the video tutorial here

Have a fabulous day my friends :)

Quilled Card..

Football fever is catching up with people everywhere now that the world cup is in full flow. I remember during school days, me and my brother used to keep alarm and wake up at late night to watch the world cup matches. It was so much fun to watch along with my brother and we often end up betting on the opposite teams :)

Made this quilled card months ago and like the way it turned out.. my quilling kit has been long neglected after coming here and hoping to do some quilling soon..

also did some sketching...

Wanna share this lovely quote before leaving...

Have a lovely week everyone!

Quilled earrings..

Hi friends, hope you are having a wonderful day. It's nearly a week and Grow your blog party is still going on! I'm really glad i joined this blog party and gained many lovely friends through it all thanks to Vicki.
Rmember the time when i made a quilled card without quilling paper and tools?? Well this time i did manage to buy some quilling papers.. I wanted to make a quick project with it for the first time so i came up with the idea of making ear rings..

    

 

 

 

 

knowing my love for making crafts, my brother gifted me colorful quilling papers, tools along with some yarns.. Such a thoughtful gift it was!

 

 

Now, what shall i do with them next??? Will see you guys with a new post soon..

 

 

My first ever Quilling!

Hi friends! hope you all are fine.. Though I've been into lot of crocheting lately, i do like to try something new for a change at times.. That's how i came across Quilling.. i was fascinated by this wonderful paper art and had a doubt if i could ever learn them..

Determined to give it a try, i was faced with some problems like a) I don't have any Quilling tool b) no quilling paper and c) not to mention, even a color sheet :(

But that's not a problem for a girl on mission right?  I patiently cut A4 sheets (the only paper that i had at home) into small strips and after looking at some quilling videos, i finally made one!

I painted the background with purple as it would make the white pop out compared to plain white

background... The difficult part was sticking them to the background surface.

I guess it's pretty okay for first time.. what do you think?
