Quilled Heart!!

Hello all..

       Last few days, media has a jackpot with big stories. Yeah. You know them. Most awaited elections in the world and the second one is completely unexpected and now most unwanted(mostly by politicians from opposition parties) DEMONETISATION. The US presidential elections results were really surprising! But more surprising is Mr. Modi's decision to cancel big notes! Indian media is going crazy over this news talking about the negatives it is causing to the common man! It is definitely causing issues to common man but all of us are ready to face them for a better future. Aren't we? In my opinion, we humans are against any change even if it brings some good to us because we love to live in our own cocoons of comfort zones and even a slight change will cause mayhem. Lets stop magnifying the problems we are facing and will face for some more days and think about the big picture!!

Coming to the quilled work for today.. I just poured out my heart for quilling this :-) Started with making the flowers. It took couple of trails to get the three dimensional look. For the leaves I have used the crepe paper and thin wires. Here comes the hard part to get the heart shape from the regular G wire which is lying at home and then wrapping it with crepe paper for the blue heart <3  We are almost there..It's time to assemble everything in place. Loved it <3<3 Instead of framing it, I am just hanging it on the wall...

Some of the in progress pictures this time :-)

Thats it for now guys..Off I go cousin's wedding..Pretty excited:-) :-) Have a great weekend!!

Miniature world!!!

Hello all,

        Hope you all had a great Diwali. This year I was planning to celebrate the festival of lights in its true spirit i.e. no sound and air pollution!! Wanted to light only diyas and candles but not crackers.. With  DIY spirit high this year, I hand painted any glass jar at my dispense and converted them to candle jars. Was so excited to light them all. I will share those jars in a separate post( yes.. u have to wait)!!! In the last minute plans, we went to friend's place for a get-together and there was no limit for sweets, food delicacies, FUN and of course CRACKERS...Though reluctant for some time, I was in the front to empty most of the crackers..shame on me :-(

        I have noticed one of the neighbors during our fun time... instead of firing crackers and contributing to the pollution, they were planting saplings in the evening. Not only they are following pollution free festival, they were contributing to the society by spreading greenery...great way of celebrations. A reminder for the rest of us!!!

        Coming to the quilled creations, today we are going to see some miniatures I have made as fridge magnets!! This cute teddy was an inspiration from one of the blogs I follow. This was a favorite of many. Have made it couple of times.

Isn't he cute <3

        Look at these 3 cuties.. I have two close friends from work who moved to different cities now . When we planned for a reunion with families, made these teddies as a reunion gift. Their kids absolutely loved them :-)

Named them 3 IDIOTS :-)

        Little birdie. Inspiration for this is..Long story short..There was lake before our house and a regular visitor to this lake was a kingfisher..When I was asking Mr.husband for an inspiration, he suggested the bird and there it is..now the bird is a permanent occupant of our fridge and he shares it with some more miniatures(On their way to the blog soon):-)

This is it for now..have a great week...Give it a thought about your approach for next Diwali...I made my decision..it's going to be pollution free..this time words in action.. no changes!!!!
