Jewellery in crochet
Recently I've been working on some crocheted jewellery and am enjoying it so much:) I'm also enjoying wearing these and the best part is when people actually want to know where you can get them.




There are more to show but haven't taken the pictures yet to upload. time flies when you are busy with crochet as well as quilling....

Paper Quilling ATC


In the last post you saw all the lovely cards I got from my friends. And now here are the cards I sent :)They are simple cards and I had such fun making them. When you think of cards , the general idea is the usual standard size or maybe sometimes the differently shaped ones. But one thing that never comes to mind is 'tiny cards'! And that was the challenge with these.The cards are all 2"x3" in size. It was difficult at first to find ideas to fit into such a small surface ...but then once I started working on it ,the ideas began to flow.

Paper Quilling ATC Swap
I'm thrilled and excited .....feel like a kid with new candy :)This is my first ever ATC and as you can guess by now I enjoyed it very much. These are the beautiful cards I received from the friends in the swap. Aren't they just so pretty? They are now proudly displayed in my living room.

I love each and everyone of them...Each one is different in it's own way.


Love stream's simple and elegant card with a subtle colour and beautifully fringed flower - the intricate design below the flower peeking out - like saying there is more between the lines :


Khawla's Bright and cheery card with such warmth and sunshine to it. I love the flower with tiny little petals and perfect scrolls :


Shaheen's perky delicious quilled strawberry card brings a smile....Love the colours - it's berrylicious !


Shaikha's summery card ....such bright and bold colors. These cards have a dynamic look about them Like they say ...I'm here so you better cheer up!!


Susan Lee has brought in soft romantic poetry with her serene and feminine card. Mmmmm...sweet and dreamy like a fairy tale !



Roopas's sheer lacey card with stamping background and intricate butterfly ....so many different things come together in perfect blend and harmony.


Amna's cards ... What can I say ? I'm so awe-struck to see such attention to details. Amna's work in not just intricate and beautiful but the finishing is perfect. I cannot stop admiring the evenness of her work. The tiniest details like the little pink paisley petals are shaped to perfection !




This swap was such fun and learning experience. I have all these gorgeous cards made by very talented ladies - So much to learn from these and improve my own work. Thank you all for making this swap so wonderful and Thank You, Amna for organizing it.
Spring is here !
There are signs everywhere......Beautiful red roses in my balcony ...yay! This is the reason I'm going to spend most of the day in the balcony crocheting away and enjoying the beautiful breeze and lovely plants.
