Butterflies~ Work in progress.

Hi there everyone. It's been a while right? I remember how only a few months back I used to come here and write and share my thoughts and quilled stuff. It's been a while but now I've decided to slowly, slowly start again. I actually miss it.
So, first work for this year? Some beautiful butterflies to welcome Spring properly.

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine. 

~Jeffrey Glassberg

Look forward to the end result:D

Chocolate Box~

Hei there. How was your weekend?? I finally got some time to quill. Yay me!
It was my bestfriend's birthday yesterday and I got to make her a present. Because she loves chocolate, as do I;x, I finally got to make a box of quilled chocolates. It's my first try and I think they turned out quite nice.

I'm planning on doing some more quite soon.

What do you think?:p

I'm really proud of the box though. After so many calculations I finally made it!! I;m soo glad. And it turned out soo cute.

A new experience!

Hi everybody!! Long time no see. How have you been?
I have done soo many things since my last post but not so much quilling I admit. I only have 1 work done since... March? Wow, that is a while.

The reason I haven't quilled so much is because of my studies but mainly because of AIESEC, the biggest international organization run by students for students. I have joined the organization in Spring and since then I kept busy. I chose to be part of the communication department because I really want to learn more about branding, advertising and copywriting. Like this, my last quilled work has been the logo for my department. Since I first saw it I said: "It looks perfect for quilling!" and so I did it.
This is the end result:

Doesn't it look really colourful and nice? Perfect for quilling.

As a promise, before I end my first post in months, I will start quilling again. I already have 2 projects in process of making soo please anticipate them.

Have a great evening and take good care of you!
Ahh I soo miss this. On my way to visit all my "crafting buddies!".

2013 Bookshelf~ ♥

Hi there~ So I decided I want to start keeping track of my readings. I started reading just a few years ago and I have to say I fell in love. I love it. At first I mostly read books for school but I found out that it is actually fun and I started looking for other stuff.
Right now I mainly loove books with supernatural stuff and mysteries but I love me some "clever" books from time to time too.
My goal right now is to read all Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes adventures and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot investigations.

And one of my fav quotes is~

Now I am aware that this has nothing to do with my quilling work but  it is a little project I always wanted to start and who knows?Maybe I will inspire someone else to start it too.

Ok so..I didn.t keep track of all the books I.ve read so far so I.m gonna put what I remember I read separately and start a new list with books I started reading since this year. I wanna see how far I go. Dunno how much I.m gonna read but ...it.s a challenge I.ll gladly accept.:) My goal??to reach 100 books by the end of this year.. 

I am not very good at reviewing so if you.d like me to recommend you something in particular from my list please ask me and I.ll see what I can do.

Back with new stuff~ Martisoare

Hei everybody.How have you been??First of all I wanna wish u a Happy Belated New Year~ I know its been 3 months already since my last update but I really didn.t expect to have soo little free time. I am so sorry.


Anyway..since spring is coming I thought I ought to welcome it with a new theme. I had soo much trouble with deciding which one is best  and after finding one to get it work properly. In the end I stuck with a simple and yet elegant one. I like it alot and  hope you will too.

And..in terms of quilling I am welcoming lady Spring with some little tokens.As some know already it is tradition[at least in Romania] to exchange "martisoare" in the first week of March to celebrate the  rebirth of nature.I am not sure how they are called in other languages but in romanian they are martisoare:)

These ones are my favourite~I made them last year too  and most people liked them as much as I did.

 For now I have made only nuances of red.I.m thinking I ought to make some blue ones,or other colours too.

I have also made some cute butterflies and flowers~

Also I am ready to make some new ones~ As long as I have free time.:)

Have a great day and I promise i won.t take this long to update next time.

You comments are most welcomed.

Hugs,

Waiting for Santa♥

hi everybodyy~ How have you been lately?  I just can.t wait foor Christmaas~ but fiirst  my birthday*blush*. Yes I.m finally turning 20 tomorrow.YAaay It's going to start with a math competitoon but I hope it.ll end good.  I.m also planning on having a chocolate overdose. Hell tomorrow I don.t care about my siluette. heheh.

Anywayy.. as Christmas is just around the corner  I thought I should make smth christmasy too.I.ve seen soo many amazing Christmas related stuff that I.m jelly of not having enough time to start some projects myself . But this idea  came to me one day and I didn.t want to lose it so I hoped on it.  and soo  I started making a tree. but noot any tree. .:

It isnt really what I hoped to make in the beginning but that.s the beauty of art. You really don.t know what you end up making untill the finish. So yeah.I.m pretty glad with the result. Can.t wait to frame it and hang it somewhere.  

Here is my source of inspiration:

Take care of you and see you soon, I hope before Christmas. heheh. Untill then. take care of yourselves and have a great week. I know I.m planning to. :)
