"Life is Sweet" Quilling Blog Hop

Hello to everyone who drops in,
Such an enjoyable blog hop. Sorry to mess things up with my timing.
I have posted a card, with a quilled strawberry cupcake in a paper lace wrapper, pictured on it. I made the cake with a strawberry on top as currently we are picking strawberries from our garden.
With little or no effort the plants have produced quite a good crop. Having a wet summer has helped.
If you would like to win this card please leave a comment. I will draw a winner on Friday Australian time.
Make sure you visit all the other participants in the blog hop
Have fun!

Summer break

For those of us in Australia, January is a long holiday time especially for school children.

Having not done any quilling since my Christmas cards, I am going to participate in a blog hop.
This has inspired me to get my quilling underway for the New Year.
Come and see what sweet minded quillers are up to.
Come and do a blog hop on Saturday 29th January New York time which will be Sunday 30th here in Australia

As Christmas comes, soft and still, May the spirit of peace gently fill Your heart and home with love and goodwill

Golden Wreath Christmas Ornament

Each time I make one of these I just love the delicate effect of the quilling. Yet they are very sturdy.
This ornament is about 8cm in diameter. It is decorated with seed beads and ribbon.
I plan to use this photo, printed out many times and make my Christmas cards for 2010

My blue angel is actually only the 2nd one I have done.
She is heralding the beginning of Advent which is about a week away.
Getting into the Festive Spirit is fun and keep us quillers busy with ornaments and cards for those who we know love something a little different.

Two Simple Cards

I have been too busy lately with family matters so I have not made many cards.
But I have to get busy and make some for a craft market in a week's time.
I find simple cards are good to get one into the "groove" again and before you know it the creative brain is thinking of something new to do.

Using some of my scrapbook paper.












I am also working on some Christmas projects which I will post closer to the Festive Season.
