Google...The best...

Few years before, there was a time I was not having much work and bored to death at workplace.. When I told this to one of my friends.. he told me that if he has internet connection and Google with him.. He never gets bored ..I was asking him what would you Google about and he said anything and everything... Those days, my usage of Google was very limited.. To put in a better way.. I haven't mastered the art of googling then:-) Over the years I caught the interest in using Google and now I completely agree with my friend... As they say.. Google uncle has everything with him... You ask him about latest news... technology ...hobby ideas.. arts..crafts....blogs... you name it.....he will give it right away...In present times, with so many people who are very patient to write tutorials and making videos about how to paint, cook, sew.... to inspire us.... We are very lucky.... You can pickup any hobby that interests you. Go ahead and explore...add your creativity to it...and make sure you enjoy the process ...like I do:-)

Coming to quilling, with paper strips people create colorful flowers.. some create flowers which look so real and life like.... Some just go with their creativity to come up with wonderful color combinations in flower making ... Well ... I myself tried making some flowers ( I am yet to explore my creative gene  :-) )... and made a flower arrangement...Then framed it in hand made frame..yeah I made the frame also with cardboard, thermocol sheet .. hand made paper ..and lots of pins.... I like the way it turned out.. hope you also like it :-).

Malaysian Flower(Don't know why they named so...)

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi everyone.

From cooking to quilling....

After the pat on my shoulder for my first post...here I come with another one..

Before I came across quilling...I was kind of crazy about cooking..  I was following different food blogs.. Knowing about many mouth watering dishes... trying them at home after having a long day at work. All I do was sauteing.... frying... cooking....baking.... Trust me, those were the days my dear husband loved the most :-) But this hobby definitely added few extra inches to our waist lines. Then came my mom with a timely warning... Thanks to moms... They are the best check points any one of us can ever have:-)...I had to give cooking a rest (of course we do enjoy occasional extra calories)....That is when I came across quilling and no way I will give it a rest at any cost:-)

Yummy chocolate cake I made.

By this time, I have tried basic shapes of quilling and it's time to get hands on with some new techniques... Here I have tried husking to make a farewell card to one of my friends at work.... she absolutely loved it(In return I got great feedback from my colleagues. That's the best gift any one can ask for)...

I was trying to make sunflower for the card but it was wayyyy tooooooo big to fit in the card. So I have decided to add color to my television(yeah.. the colors in the TV were not enough for me;-)). It is sitting beautifully on the corner and it definitely catches everyone's eye... Happy me....

Okay.... I know you are all having good rest over the weekend...well...carry on.....and we will catch up next week.

My first ever blog post...huraayyyy..:) :)

Hello everyone..

After so much pushing from friends and family...finally I have dared to create a new blog to include you all in my Quilling journey......its been wonderful so far and I am sure we all are going to enjoy the ride and have great fun :) :)

It all started around two years ago...I was just googling around and fortunately I came across these wonderful creations all with paper and till then I din't know there is an art named Quilling ...Thats the moment I fell in love with quilling and paper of course:) I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw so many wonderful and lovely creations by many artistic people..I dint know we can make so much with paper.....I couldn't resist myself from trying the art of Quilling and I am telling you.. Thats the best thing that has happened ...

There are so many wonderful bloggers who have guided me and any small and stupid doubt(I get most of them ;-)) ...you can refer to their blogs and voila....you get an answer in their posts....thanks to those gurus(who don't know they have a student :)).

Ok...Enough said and read(I can see a grin on your face ;-))...Here are some of my works in the initial days of my quilling journey...

This one I made as a card for my brother's wedding....

This one for a close one's birth day :)

Please don't mind the poor picture quality... now I have learnt that you need good natural light to get your works nicely photographed :) :)

Thats all for now..Hope you like my attempts... Please leave a comment :) :)
