Flowers, flowers, flowers.

This is what I spent the whole weekend doing : Quilled Flower Paper Clips!

I listed them in my Etsy shop as a set of 6 (Princess Pink, Sunset Orange, Daisy White, Ocean Blue, Ravishing Red and Pretty Purple), and they sold the very same day, just a few hours later! I think the buyer is planning to give them out as little Christmas gifts. Whee =D

 It took me almost 2 whole days to make, especially as I don't own a pair of pliers to attach the metal rings. 

Hurt my fingers =(

But I still love looking at them, they're so adorable!

I made them into pendants as well, but I think the clippies are cuter =)

Oh dear, enough of flowers already. Imma go quill some snowgirls now. 

And I'm supposed to be practicing piano, I've got my ATCL diploma exam tomorrow. Quaking in my boots, but I hear my examiner is pretty friendly so here's to a Pass! 

Double excitement =)

Imagine how excited I was when I found out that my quilled snowflake ornament has found its way into an Etsy treasury!

I love treasuries. The idea that someone has gone through the whole of Etsy to find that special something (okay, a list of 16 special somethings) and finally decided on one of my little handmade creations to be on the list : it really makes me warm inside =)

This treasury, named A Little Holiday Magic, was created by the user csmartglass with the theme of unique, affordable, handmade gifts for christmas. The Dumbledore doll is so cute!

On a separate note, Yenni Natalia from Scrapcollector is having a giveaway! Just look at all the stuff she's offering : stamps, rhinestones, rub ons...the perfect crafter extravaganza! I admit that the stamps are what appeal to me the most =) I've been wanting to use stamps in my craft for ages, but they cost too much. She'll announce the winners on 12th December (her birthday) just in time for the Christmas rush!

If you're interested, do pop by here and take a look! But I hope you don't win (teehee) because I want to!

Sweet Lovebirds and a Snowflake

Just a few things I made over the weekend :

My first love-themed card! A pair of starstruck lovebirds gazing at each other in a big red heart. 

Code : Love01

Kinda reminds me of that childhood song : Peter and Janey sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Finally got a chance to use that silver rick-rack I've been saving up! I bought it at a Christmas fair, but never got the chance to use it.

I swear, making Christmassy things is so addictive. I'm supposed to be studying but I can't tear myself from quilling! So here's another snowflake!

Code : MS006

Comes in white, pink, blue, red and green. 

Sigh. I am so dead. It's one week to semester finals and I'm quilling instead of studying. The only subject I've touched so far is chemistry. If only academics weren't so important in today's world! Then I could keep on quilling and not worry at all =) 

Anyway. It's 11:30pm, and I'm off to study! Ta, my dears.
