Paper Quilled Christmas Light Bulbs

My eyes are getting used to wearing glasses, I'm not as tired in the evenings now so that's a good thing; and I finished up a project I've had in the works - finally. NEW to Quilly Nilly and my etsy shop, 3D miniature paper quilled Christmas bulbs. I think they turned out pretty cute and I can't wait to hang them up somewhere; I was thinking they'd be neat to hang in a window or the top of my computer monitor and of course my coworker wants 3 sets to hang on her mini Christmas tree.

For my fabulous blog readers, if you purchase a set within the next week; mention you read about them here and receive FREE shipping (expires midnight 9.21.10)

Poor Neglected Blog

I'm sorry, it's been way too long since I've had anything to share. Actually I've been working on some new things but it's been slow going. I've been dealing with sinus issues, we think; and today I finally went to the eye doctor and will be picking up my first pair of glasses. I'm hoping to be back to my quirky creative self soon and will definitely get on here with new item photo's and updates. For now, here is the September mini frame; even in my sinus induced haze I think it turned out pretty cute.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Ant Stole My Lunch Frame

I must admit I haven't done any quilling in the last week, and not much in the last couple weeks; don't know if it's the heat here that's making me not want to do anything. It's been so so hot here. The past two weeks have been around 100˚ every day; and the two months prior to those were in the mid 90's; I'm so over the weather. I cannot wait for fall.

I did however make a cute little frame for August, and I'm feeling a little creative so I may get some stuff done this weekend. I know I have a custom order for a little girl head and snowflakes to finish and I may try to squeeze out something new and will let you see if I do. Have a great Friday!

A few more July projects

Cute little quilled blue bird

Simple, colorful and cute cupcake birthday card

Finished some of the snowflakes for one of my custom orders and will be working on and posting new items very soon.

Aww Nuts...and a Strawberry too

My daughter came up to my desk yesterday and I showed her this darling little paper 3D miniature strawberry I created and she said "where's the nuts?", makes me laugh every time I think about it - she was talking about these cute little acorns I created the night before. I'm just having a blast making these little paper miniatures; I have some future plans for the acorns; still trying to figure out what I'm going to use the strawberries for - any ideas, feel free to share. I'm also working on a 3D blue bird and will post that when he's completed as well. Have a great Monday!

Happy Birthday Cake Cards, New to the shop

This weekend we are invited to two birthday parties, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I rarely buy cards if it's a party for a little girl, instead I make them; quilling just lends itself to swirly pretty girly cards. Here is one of the cards created for a sweet little girl who is turning 5; I have tonight and tomorrow to make the other one but I'll be sure to post that one too. A card like this can be ordered through my etsy shop, just let me know if you have specific colors you'd like and what age needs to be put on the top.
