1st Bloggoversary!! :) :)

Hurray!!!!
I cant believe it has been one year since my first post!! :)
This year has been really awesome and have made some great friends via the blog :)

Thank you for all your inspirations and comments. It was awesome :) :)

It so happens to be my aunt's birthday today too :) :)
So I am sharing with a quilled project that I have made for her. A simple quillography with her name and that of her husband's. And some flowers to the kitty :)

It is yet to be framed and I hope it has turned out well!! :)

I have used Itsy Bitsy card stock for the back and 5mm and 3 mm strips for the quilled items. My favorite part was lining some of the items in white ink.. Don't know why i tried that , but I like how it turned out!!!

Hoping for some awesome years ahead!! Happy quilling people :)

Grandpa's timepass :)

Hi all, today I am sharing something my grandpa made by going throught youtube tutorials. He is a retired fellow and extreeemely active person. And he just loves doing something creative at home, finding innovative solutions to household glitches and things like that. Hi recent interest has been origami.

For someone that old, he is quite adept at using the internet and finding out good tutorials, whereas my mom can barely operate the computer.:P

He usually uses newspaper magazine sheets or pamphlets lying around to create them and he has a bunch of horses, parrots, other birds and animals at home. I found a parrot that he had made with magazine paper and it just so turned out that the colors fit in so well by chance, Green body and red beak. I asked him to add an eye and it became so much more beautiful. I flicked it to my office. and perched it on my monitor along with two Itsy Bitsy flowers. I love my desktop even more now :)

Till next time! Hugs :)

Foam sheet scrapbook

Hi all,
Posting after a long time again... How have you all been! :)

I have been keeping myself pretty much engaged at work lately and couldn't get to touch any crafting items at all :( Our client's EVP is leaving and we decided to give him a farewell gift in the form of writeups of what people who worked with him thought of him.

This is a simple thing to make and took me just under half hour. I have had these foam sheets lying around not knowing what to do. So i decided why not make a scrapbook out of it. So i cut them up and strung them using a ribbon and added a quiled flower on the cover. I also did very little embellishment as i wanted it to be toned down and the pages are going to be filled with writeups/photographs.

Hope you liked it :)

Happy crafting till then!!

To an awesome lady, Sanju :)

Hi blogger pals,
It s been a really really long time since i touched my quilling items.I seem to have missed so much on all of your recent works too :( :(

But here's what I came up with in the last two days.
This is something for my dearest teacher Sanjana Laxman, who has always been with me right from school, guess 6th class. :) Even after we leave school, we can never forget our teacher nor can they, their students. We share a close relationship and she has been with me all these years supporting me in whatever I do.....

Wishing you great times ahead mam, I can't say 'Bon anniversaire' now, as it is already over :P But, better late than never :) :)

Here's something to a wonderful teacher, friend, guide and in some cases, you were like a mom to me :)

Love you lots :)

I have used 1 cm strips to make the fringed flowers and the lettering. Added some roses to add color and fill up the space. The frame was handmade with 1.5 cm border thickness. I learnt how to make it here.

Hope its turned out well !!:: :)

A tiny flower bouquet! and its 50!!

Hi all,
THis is one of my very first tries at fringed flowers. Did this a looong time ago but got chance to update it only now.

And its my 50th post today!! YAY!
Thanks for the support friends :) Hoping for more :)

Happy Quilling

Quilled Drums

Hi all,
Today I am sharing an item I did about 5 to 6 months back. It was done for a colleague's birthday who is a drummer in our office band.
I thought it came out pretty well but some people had difficulty recognizing that it was drums ;). But the person for whom it was intended, identified. So I guess it is a win win situation. :)

Here are some pics

Happy quilling!
