Hi again. Been a while since I have been quilling and I.m still not free of studying but I had to make a present for my cousin's birthday. She saw one of my previous framed work and asked if I would make her smth similar.
~~
Buna din now.A trecut ceva timp de cand am avut un proiect de quilling si plus ca inca mai am foarte mult de invatat.A trebuit insa sa ii daruiesc ceva verisoarei mele a carei zile de nastere se apropie. A vazut o lucrare de a mea mai veche si a intrebat daca nu ii pot face ceva similar.

She wanted though to be a bit more colourful and bright to match the colour of her wall. So here is what I came up with.
~~
A vrut totusi ceva mai colorat si viu pentru a se potrivi cu culorile peretelui.Dupa un pic de deliberare iata cu ce am ajuns.

I would also like to enter this piece of work in Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Anything Goes! challenge.

~~

Mi.ar placea sa concurez cu aceasta lucrare la competitia Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Anything Goes!

Project:Decorate my room;
Progress: 25%;
1/4 Phases complete~
~~
Proiect:Decorarea camerei mele;
Progres:25%;
1/4 Faze complete.


Hi there...remember my little project of decorating my room?? Well A few days back I finally managed to finish 1000 cranes. YAYYYY~
.Here are the rest of the cranes till 1000  that waited to be hanged.
~~
Buna..va amintiti de proiectul meu de decorare a camerei?Acum cateva zle am reusit in sfarsit sa impaturesc 1000 de cocori.Nu imi vine sa cred.
Uitati o poza cu restul cocorilor pana la 1000 care au asteptat sa fie agatati.

Now as you saw before...the cranes were hanged in from of the window but I decided to move them into the center of the room. I don.t have a really pretty chandelier... so I believe the colours will mask it beautifully.
~~
Asa cum ati vazut anterior..cocorii erau agatati in fata geamului insa m.am hotarat sa ii pun imi mijlocul camerei.Nu am o lustra prea frumoasa si am considerat ca astfel il "ascund" un pic??hehe.

I also decided to  to decorate my room in 4 phases. hope I won.t change my mind again. So in the center I have the cranes...then on one wall I want to put many butterflies[This is actually the next phase I want to complete], on another wall I want to put some inspiring images and lastly some cherryblossoms in front of the  window.Can.t wait to see it complete~~ kk.
~~
Am decis de asemenea sa imi decorez camera in 4 faze.Sper ca nu ma voi razgandi din now. Deci in centru am pus cocorii...planuiesc ca pe un alt perete sa pun foarte multi fluturi, pe un altul ceva fotografii iar la sfarsit niste flori de cires pe perdeaua din fata geamului.Abia astept sa termin~ hehe.

Ohh..it's been a while since my last post~ I haven't quilled for a few weeks now and I couldn.t wait to start again~  The problem though..after doing nothing for a period of time..is the lack of inspiration and not knowing what to do~LOL. So I remembered that I saw once a beautiful quilled picture of Yulia Brodskaya [x]  and I really wanted to do smth similar.
~~
Ohh..a trecut ceva timp de la ultima mea postare~ Nu am mai lucrat la un proiect de quilling de ceva saptamani si abia am asteptat sa incep din nou. Problema este insa..ca dupa ce am stat cateva saptamani fara sa fac nimic..imi lipseste inspiratia si nu stiu cum sa incep. Noroc ca mi.am amintit de o fotografie a Yuliei brodskaya [x] descoperita acum ceva zile pe care voiam sa o reinventez.

So..as I was saying I wanted to do smth similar..but wanted to put something mine in it..its only right this way.~ And..luckily Pritesh's blog ,Quilling Me Softly , just turned one year and she started this challenge in which we has to do some quillography~ And so..I began quilling. Here is my result.

unfortunately I have no quality camera..and I had to improvise[again].

~~

Dupa cum spunea..voiam sa fac ceva similar si totusi sa fie al meu.Ocazia a venit o data cu implinirea unui an de existenta a blogului lui Pritesh,Quilling Me Softly , pe care a decis sa il sarbatoreasca cu o provocare ce include ceva quillografie. Si astfel am inceput lucrul. Iata rezultatul meu:

din pacate insa nu am camera potrivita..si a trebuit sa improvizez un pic.

Pritesh made a condition for this project to  qualify for the challenge:to be at least a A4 size.

Well It is indeed A4..i don.t know though if it's visible~  lenght: 29.5 cm ,width:21 cm.

~~

Pritesh a pus o conditie pentru participarea in provocare si anume..proiectul trebuie sa aiba dimensiunea unei coli A4 sau mai mare.

Este intradevar de dimensiunea unei coli A4 insa nu stiu daca se vede atat de bine~

Lungime:29.4 iar latime: 21 cm.

I also submitted this on 

MIM #104 with Cupcake Cards and Crafts~~
~~
De asemenea am inscris acest proiect la

Don.t worry it isnt my birthday till early December~ but well I wanted to make a birthday card. I really like this one cuz I  worked with 3 mm strips and I believe the red flowers turned out beautiful~ Well I haven.t done a card for a while now and  I believe I still need to practice though..I.m kind of messy. But I.ll catch up now that is summer, don.t worry~ hehe~
~~
Nu va ingrijorati nu este ziua mea pana la inceputul lui Decembrie dar am vrut sa fac o felicitare ~ Imi place foarte mult felicitarea aceasta pentru ca am lucrat cu fasii de 3 mm si cred ca florile rosii au iesit superbe~ Nu am mai facut o felicitare de ceva timp acum si cred ca am nevoie de antrenament ..sunt un pic  dezordonata~ Dar o sa reusesc pana la urma, acum ca este vara am timp berechet.hehe

Hi there~~ I come back to show my latest work ~ hehe a few days ago a sweet lady contacted me saying she wants smth to give to the guests that she'll have at her daughters 1 year anniversary~ How could I refuse??Plus its my first time doing smth for someone from another city~ kk It was a pain to finish all in 1 day and then to send it the next day to be in time for the party but it was fun~ I have to say though that I am not fully satisfied with the back of each card but ohhh *sad* I really hope though that she really like what I did and that the guests did too~ heheh
~~
Bunaa~ Revin cu ultimele mele creatii~ hehe Acum cateva zile o doamna foarte simpatica mi-a lasat un e-mail spunandu-mi ca vrea ceva special pentru invitatii pe care ii va avea pentru petrecerea fetitei sale de 1 anisor~ Cum as fi putut sa refuz?? In plus este prima data cand lucrez pentru cineva din alt oras~ A fost foarte greu sa termin totul intr-o singura zi sa fie gata pentru trimis a doua zi pentru a ajunge in timp pentru petrecere dar a fost foarte distractiv~Trebuie sa spun insa ca  nu sunt complet satisfacuta cu partea din spate a felicitarii dar...ahh *trista* Sper din suflet ca clientei i-a placut ce am facut si invitatii de asemenea~


The lady wanted me to include her daughters name Milena[such a great name right??] and to do smth colourful~ I probably would have made smth else but in the time limit this is all I could came up with~
The cards are the size of half of an A4 page~ and on the back it says

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for”

~~

Scumpa doamna a vrut sa ii includ numele fiicei sale Milena[un nume superb nu credeti?] si sa fie ceva colorat~ Probabil as fi facut ceva mai elaborat dar in limita de timp impusa asta este tot ce am putut face~

Felicitarile sunt de dimensiunea unei jumatati de foaie A4~ iar pe spate scrie:

"Un copil va face iubirea mai puternica,zilele mai scurte,noptile mai lungi,contul din banca mai sarac,casa mai fericita,hainele ponosite,trecutul uitat, iar viitorul valoros."

Hi crafters~ I have this project that I have started 10 days ago and i almost finished it[90%] and then other things came out and I had to put it on hold~Well...luckily today I have found the time to finally take my sunflowers and make them shine.keke.
~~
Buna ~Am acest proiect pe care l-am inceput acum 10 zile si pe care aproape l-am terminat[90%] dar datorita unor interventii a trebuit sa il pun pe plan secund~ Astazi insa am reusit in sfarsit sa gasesc timp sa aduc cele 3 floarea soarelui la lumina hehe.



So I have wanted to make my own version of sunflowers for a while now but I just..i dont know if I did~ I mean it is hard to not be influenced by everything outhere~
~~
 Am vrut sa fac versiunea mea pentru floarea soarelui dar pur si simplu..nu stiu daca am reusit~ Este greu sa nu ma las influentata de creatiile existente deja.


 I know its hard to come up with something original~ buut..I tried..hehe
~~
Stiu ca este greu sa vin cu ceva original daar..am incercat.

Also check out my inspirations. You can clearly see something from everypiece in my work.
~~
De asemenea uitati si inspiratiile. Puteti vedea foarte bine cate ceva din fiecare in lucrarea mea.

Take neli's sunflower for example.
~~
Uitati varianta lui neli de exemplu.

Or Lin's .
~~
Sau cea a lui Lin .

Also Andreea C made some really nice versions of sunflowers~
~~
De asemenea Andreea C a facut niste versiuni foarte interesante ale florii.

Heheh.I gotta admit...I really love dreaming~I always imagine myself doing amazing stuff..instead of procrastinating in front of the computer watching my fav tv series and quilling as much as i can.But lets get back to my reason for posting right?It has a great deal with dreams btw.A few months ago I stumbled upon  dreamcatchers history~
~~
Heheh..Trebuie sa recunosc..Ador sa visez.Intotdeauna ma imaginez facand lucruri incredibile si avand experiente inedite in loc sa stau degeaba in fata calculatorului urmarind serialele mele preferate si lucrand la proiecte quilling . Dar sa revenim la motivul pentru care am decis sa postez astazi nu?Are foarte mare legatura cu visele.Acum cateva luni de zile am dat de istoria prinzatorului de vise.


According to Native Americans, dreams that humans have while they sleep, are sent by sacred spirits as messages. According to their Legend, in the center of the Dream Catcher there is a hole. Good dreams are permitted to reach the sleeper through this hole in the web. As for the bad dreams, the web traps them and they disappear at dawn with the first light. For some, they try to determine what messages are being past onto them and what the message represents.

The Dream Catcher represents several meanings. All of the decorations and materials used to decorate them, all have a special meaning. A single bead in the middle may represent the spider that is on the web. Scattered beads throughout the web may represent good dreams that may have been caught throughout the night. A feather represents a symbol of breath or air which is attached so it hangs from the center of the ring. It is essential for life. A baby watching the air playing with the feather on her cradleboard was entertained while also being given a lesson on the importance of good air.

~~

Potrivit nativilor americani,visele pe care oamenii le au in timpul somnului, sunt trimise prin spiritele sfinte ca mesaje. Potrivit legendei ,in centrul prinzatorului de vise este o gaura.Visele bune sunt lasate sa treaca la persoana care viseaza prin gaura din panza.Cat despre visele rele,panza le prinde si le face sa dispara pana la rasarit. Unii incearca sa desluseasca mesajele care le sunt transmise prin visele primite.

Prinzatorul de vise are mai multe semnificatii.Toate decoratiunile si materialele folosite in decorarea lui au inteles special. O singura marceluta in mijlo poate reprezenta paianjenul de pe panzza. Mai multe marcelute imprastiate pe panza pot reprezenta visele bune care s.au prins pe parcursul noptii. O pana prinsa de centrul cercului  reprezinta o rasuflare sau aerul.Este esentiala in viata. Un copil privinddin leagan aerul care se joaca cu pana este amuzat iar in acelasi timp invata o lectie despre importanta aerului sanatos.

[S.ar putea ca traducerea mea sa fie off pe alocuri.Imi pare rau.Sper totusi ca am prins esenta.]

These days..preparing for my best friend.s departure who is leaving to study in Italy for 3 years I remembered this story and I decided to make a dreamcatcher for her to protect her dreams. Since I have never done something like this it did not turn out as I wanted it but it still looks awesome in my opinion. hehe. I also wanted it to be very colourful. Nothing is better than a little colour to brighten our world.

~~

Zilele trecuta..in timp ce ma pregateam pentru plecarea prietenei mele cele mai bune pentru a studia in Italia pentru 3 ani mi.am amintit aceasta poveste si am decis sa ii ofer un prinzator de vise pentru a.i proteja visele. Din moment ce nu am mai facut asa ceva niciodata, nu a iesit chiar cum voia insa cred ca arata destul de bine.hehe. De asemenea am vrut sa fie foarte colorat. Nimic nu este mai potrivit decat un pic de culoare pentru a ne lumina lumea.

Also I want to submit this for Scrapper in Romania's challenge for this month. Mixed media.I just hope it qualifies.And I almost forgot. I'll come back with the paper version of a dreamcatcher too.I've worked on it for the past days.

~~

De asemenea vreau sa inscriu lucrarea aceasta pentru provocarea din aceasta luna de la Scrapper in Romania.Mixed media. Sper doar ca este potrivita pentru provocare.Aproape am uitat. O sa revin si cu versiune de hartie a unui prinzator de vise.~ Am lucrat ultimele zile la el.

I know I know~It is too fast to be done with the paper version of the dreamcatcher but truth is..I really wanted to post both of my projects at the same time so I postponed the real dreamcatcher till the quilled one was ready. Sooo.dunno if ull like it as much as I do buut.
~~
Stiu stiu..Este prea rapid sa fiu gata cu versiunea de hartie a prinzatorului de vise dar adevarul este ca..voiam sa postez ambele proiecte odata asa ca am amanat un pic prezentarea adevaratului prinzator de vise pana cel de hartie era gata. Deeeci..nu stiu daca va va placea la fel de mult ca si mie dar..

Of course I again chose colours..I dunno why I prefer it that way..it looks more alive..more beautiful with the britght colours~ Maybe Ill try something neutral too.We.ll see. Till then. Heres the quilled version of a dreamcatcher.

~~

Desigur ..am folosit din nou culori.Nu stiu de ce prefer asta..poate pentru ca arata mai frumos in culori vii..mai cu viata. Poate voi incerca si ceva neutru.O sa vad. Pana atunci iata versiunea de hartie a prinzatorului de vise.

I feel sad though that I havent found one single quilled dreamcatcher.Im curious about what others may do. Looking forward to ur creations if u do decide to make one. Ill love it if u could tell me so I can check it out.Im deadly curious.

~~ 

Sunt trista insa ca nu am gasit nici o varianta a unui prinzator de vise din quilling.Sunt curioasa ce idei au altii.Sunt nerabdatoare sa vad creatiile voastre daca decideti sa faceti un prinzator de viseMi.ar placea daca mi.at spune ca sa pot sa ma uit.Sunt foarte curioasa.

Here's the sketch.It looks a bit different but the general idea is here.lol
~~
Iata schita.Arata un pic diferit de aceasta dar ideea generala este acolo.lol

This became my fav project of all time along with my hot air ballon sooo .I.ve decided to  submit this  in 

MIM #104 with Cupcake Cards and Crafts It's my second time and i.m still not very sure if my work is eligible but I have to try right??Sounds like fun~

~~

Acest proiect a devenit unul din preferatele mele impreuna cu balonul cu aer cald asa ca..am decis sa il inscriu la MIM #104 with Cupcake Cards and Crafts Este a doua oara cand particip la MIM si nu sunt sigura daca lucrarea este potrivita pentru asa ceva dar trebuia sa incerc nu?Suna amuzant

Hi there~Here I come with yet another project of mine. This one is a request of my dear cousin that wanted another wall frame from me. The first time I have given her  one with a butterfly [♥] this time she wanted something else and while I was showing her some fav creations she fell in love with Manuk's poppies . And so I have began "growing"poppies heheh.
~~
Buna~ Iata ca revin cu inca un proiect de al meu. Acesta este cerut de verisoara mea draga care a vrut inca un tablou de la mine. Prima data i.am dat un tablou cu un fluture [♥] , de aceasta data a vrut ceva diferit si, pe masura ce ii aratam cateva creatii favorite s.a indragostit de macii facuti de Manuk. Si asa am inceput sa "cresc" maci.heheh.

For this particular project I have used 3 mm paper strips .I wanted the poppies to look more like  Manuk's but lets face it ...it.s impossible..plus she used 1 mm strips and I have yet to battle with those kind of strips. Need more experience heheh.

~~

Pentru acest proiect m.am folosit de fasii de latime 3 mm. Voiam ca macii sa arata mai mult ca cei a lui Manuk insa sa fim seriosi..este imposibil..plus ca ea a folosit fasii de 1 mm iar eu nu m.am aventurat inca sa folosesc fasii atat de subtiri. Mai trebuie un pic de experienta..heheh

Hi there~It's been a while since I.ve come up with an origami idea for you guys . A while back I.ve seen this beautiful butterfly on Cridiana's blog and i knew I wanted to try it out. So i did today and I want to share some picture with you .Who knows maybe i.ll inspire you just like Cridiana did to  me. heheh
~~
Buna~A trecut ceva timp de cand v.am prezentat ultima idee origami. Acum ceva timp in urma am vazut acest fluture superb pe blogul Cridianei si am stiut ca vreau sa il incerc si eu. Iar astazi am incercat si vreau sa  impartasesc cateva poze. Cine stie poate va transmit un pic de inspiratie la fel cum si Cridiana mi.a transmis mie heheh.

The only modification I.ve made to the original model is that I added some antenas. I dunno ..after I have made some butterflies they just seemed like they were missing smth..heheh.
~~
Singura modificare pe care am adus.o modelului original sunt antenele. Nu stiu..dupa ce am terminat cativa fluturasi pareau ca le lipseste ceva..heheh.

Soo if you want to try check out this tutorial.It really helped me.

~~

Deci daca vreti sa incercati acest model uitati acest filmulet. Pe mine m.a ajutat .

Hi there~kinda late but as I was organizing my craft pictures I came across of one of my oldest projects. Actually my first crafting project if I.m not mistaken.I know I came across a tutorial and it was Women's Day so I wanted to make a nice gift for my girlfriends. And so I made a star shaped book in which I put some personal words and a little bit of decorating.Back then I wasnt familiar with quilling or any other craft for that matter so the flowers and everything look kinda ..but I believe it turned out wonderful and it has meaning soo thats why I decided to share it with you guys. heheh
~~
Buna seara. cam tarziu insa in timp ce imi organizam folderul cu fotografiile lucrarilor mele am dat de un proiect mai vechi al meu.De fapt , daca stau sa ma gandesc mai bine primul meu proiect .Stiu ca gasisem un tutorial pe internet si era in jurul zilei femeii  si am vrut sa fac ceva special pentru prietenele mele.Si asa am ajuns sa fac o carticica in forma de stea in care am pus cateva cuvinte si cateva decoratii.Pe vremea aceea nu stiam de quilling sau de alte tehnici asa ca florile si toate celelalte arata un pic...daar consider ca a iesit superb si are o semnificatie..de aceea am decis sa va impartasesc cateva poze. heheh

So far I.ve showed you the pictures my bestfriend sent to me since I did not think to take good qulity pictures back then.hehe. But I do have a few pictures left though not really good.

~~

Pana acum v.am aratat pozele pe care prietena mea cea mai buna mi le.a trimis din moment ce eu nu m.am gandit inainte sa le daruiesc sa fac poze de calitate heheh.Dar am cateva poze ramase chiar daca nu sunt foarte reusite.

Here you can see a picture of all my star shaped books. I made three for my three special friends heheh.

~~

Aici aveti o poza cu toate carticelele in forma de stea. Am facut 3 pentru 3 prietene speciale heheh.

I.m thinking of doing this again. I can say it will turn out more beautiful since I.ve evolved..although I dunno if it will be that meaningfull like these 3 are.heheh

~~

Ma gandesc sa incerc sa mai fac cateva.Pot spuna ca vor iesi mai frumoase din moment ce am evoluat  desi nu cred ca vor mai avea aceeasi semnificatie ca acestea 3.heheh.

As I was looking for the actual tutorial to show it to you I also found another version of a star shaped book that I.m curious to try it.It looks fun so check it out too. [♥]

Also..lucky enough I actually found the tutorial on youtube.So enjoy and please..if you try it out for yourselves please link me up.I.m totally curious of ur version to.heheh

~~

In timp ce cautam tutorialul dupa care am invatat sa fac aceste cartulii am gasit o alta versiune care m.a facut curioasa sa o incerc.Arata interesant asa ca uitati.va si voi.[♥]

De asemenea..am reusit sa gasesc tutorialul dupa care am invatat pe youtube.Asa ca enjoy si daca va hotarati sa faceti si voi acest proiect nu ezitati sa imi trimiteti un link.Sunt curioasa de ce o sa faceti heheh.

Also I.ve decided to link this up on this week.s MIM #105 with Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.I find it kind of fun..this linky party thingy..kk.
~~
De asemenea am decis sa inscriu aceasta carticica la MIM #105 with Pretty Little Ribbon Shop . Gasesc aceasca "petrecere a proiectelor" destul de amuzanta so..kk.

Still can.t decide how to properly name it.[Any ideas?] I mean it.s a tragicomedy mask but..the point I wanted to highlight is the illusion of lace~I find lace to be very elegant and beautiful and thats what I was looking for to create.
I know I said earlier today that I.ll be posting tomorrow but I finished it and I.m so excited that I can.t wait. I loove how it turned out honestly.I did not expect it heheh. but I better let the pictures speak for themselves.
~~
Inca nu ma pot decide la un nume potrivit.[Niste sugestii?] Vreau sa spun ca este o o masca pentru teatru semnificand tragedia si comedia [o masca cunoscuta de toti] dar punctul pe care m.am axat a fost crearea iluziei de dantela. Imi place cum dantela emite un aer de eleganta si frumusete ,iar exact aceste lucruri am cautat sa le nuantez. 
Stiu ca am spus mai devreme astazi ca voi posta lucrarea maine dar am terminat mai repede si sunt atat de entuziasmata incat pur si simplu nu mai pot astepta. Pur si simplu ador cum a iesit si sincer?? nu ma asteptam sa iasa deloc.heheh..dar mai bine las pozele sa vorbeasca de la sine nu?

I have used 3 mm strings of black and white cardboard and the dimensions are that of a square with 30 cm sides.I could not make the entire mask look like lace so I.ve used black and white glitter gel to fill in certain parts. Anway..here are some photos with the sketches I used. I think I ruined around 10 sheets of paper to end up with this particular design.I was not easy to stick with one .heheh
~~
Am folosit fasii de carton alb si negru cu latimea de 3 mm iar dimensiunea lucrarii este cea a unui patrat cu latura de 30 de cm. Nu as fi putut sa fac o masca sa arate din dantela daca nu as fi folosit gel cu sclipici alb si negru pentru a umple anumite regiuni. Oricum..va prezint si cateva poze cu schitele pe care le.am folosit. Cred ca am stricat in jur de 10 pagini de hartie ca sa ma multumesc cu modelul acesta.Nu a fost usor sa raman la unul singur.heheh

Oh..and I almost forgot...here is my source of inspiration. It a wonderful piece created by Natasha Molotkova. Here [♥] you can see her amazing creations. 

As I found this first on google I rly though it was a digital photograph .I did not think for 1 second it is quilled.She is indeed amazing.Great job.And I am sorry I did not give you credit earlier. I did not know where to look.

~~

Oh..eram sa uit. uitati si sursa mea de inspiratie. Este o lucrare splendida a Natashei Molotkova. Aici [♥]  puteti vedea cateva dintre lucrarile ei superbe.

Cand am gasit poza  pe google chiar nu am crezut ca este facuta din quilling.Am crezut can este o poza digitala. Asta m.a determinat in primul rand sa incerc sa creez acel aspect de dantela cu ajutorul quillingului. Si imi pare rau ca nu am dat credit mai devreme. Chiar nu stiam unde sa caut.

Today is my moms day and I decided to try making her some cookies. I.ve tried this recipe 3 times before but after today I have to admit those were awful. This time they are perfect. I mean I can.t stop eating them..they are so soft and crunchy at the same time..I did not even burn them..not even one bit..Ahh..perfection~
~~
Astazi este ziua de nume a mamei.[o cheama Ana] si am decis  sa ii fac niste biscuiti.Am incercat reteta de 3 ori inainte insa dupa ziua de astazi trebuie sa recunosc ca celelalte dati au fost un eses total.De aceasta data reteta a iesit perfect.Nu ma mai pot opri din mancat hahah....sunt moi in interior insa exteriorul este crocant..ahh perfect.Si nici nu i.am ars deloc..de obicei toate prajiturile facute la cuptor se ard un pic cand incerc sa le fac eu:)))

I got the recipe from a cooking book I received on my birthday from my former classmates and this is the first recipe I.m trying from it. heheh

~~

Am luat reteta dintr.o carte de gatit pe care am primit.o de ziua mea de la fostii mei colegi de clasa iar aceasta este prima reteta pe care am incercat.o din ea.hehe

Recipe~

Ingredients for 18 cookies.

175 gr flour~

1 pinche of salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate

75 gr butter or margarine

50 gr sugar

3 tablespoons sugar syrup

125 gr chocolate chips

Directions

1.Heat the oven aproximately 10 min before baking.

2.In a big bowl combine the flower with salt,baking powder and sodium bicarbonate.

3.cut the butter into little cubes and mix everything with the hand.

4.Combine the sugar,the syrup and the chocolate chips with the composition you made until now and mix everything with the mixer until you have obtained a thick paste.

5. Form the cookies,not too big , and put them on the baking tray.Be careful though to let space to grow.

6.Press lightly with fingertips to flatten them.

 7.Bake for 12-15 min in the oven.

8.Let them cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. [Sry if my the directions are not that great but I have the recipe in romanian and I had to translate it myself.So I may have some problems using the corect cooking terms]

PS:The only twist I made at this batch of cookies is putting a peanut on every cookie.Last time I used walnuts.

Hi there~ i just got this email from one of the artists that inspired me and it got me thinking. I still have lots to learn and i.m not fully familiar with the whole copyright thing..I dont know where copying starts and recreating begins...I dont even know if they are the same thing.I.m still confused..I just thought that giving proper credit to those amazing artists that inspired me was enough..cuz thats what I.m hoping to do for others. inspire..and I dont find it wrong..but it .seems that it is.?

So I want to properly apologize to every artist outhere that find anything of theirs in my projects. It is not my intention to steal.If thats what u believe it is then thats why I want to apologize ..I.m still at the start..I still have a loong way to go and all I looked for in ur projects was a starting point..so that I can reinvent..and find my own technique.I still think that even if there is something from another person/from you in my work you clearly can see my own touch..and my own twist .. ..I don.t want to offend anyone..I have the most respect for you guys cuz I know how hard it is to create smth unique..and smth new. Thats why if smth inspires me..doesnt mean I.ll instantly try to copy that work..it means I try to recreate it..and see how far I can go to transform it.

And if I do try to actually copy ur work is for personal development only..To see how my limits and whats the best quilling technique that suits me.And thats only till I find my own taste and skill.

Again I am sorry and If u find I did u wrong and want me to remove any of my works just tell me..If after this u still consider I "stole" anything I will be glad to remove any of my projects from my blog.

Thank you~
*hugs*

Time flies soo fast that we don.t even notice it..Soon I.ll start my college life and I.ll become a student~It frightening...Anyway..I do have something to share with you..I love winter and snow ..maybe cuz I was born in December but I love it...esp cuz it's also Christmas time~all the presents and the carols and the warm atmosphere..I simply love it.
And soo..the first snowflakes have already fallen for me..I made quilled snowflakes last year too and everybody that got them as presents from me  loved them..so I decided to begin earlier this year and make some...esp cuz I dunno how much time I.ll have after college starts.
For now I only got blue ones..I do love blue ..[alot] . Next time I.ll make some white ones..and if anybody wants some I.ll make whatever colour comes. My tree will be in nuances of blue and white soo I don.t want to try making snowflakes of other colours if its not for someone in particular. They will just get dusty.
Anyway..here are some pictures .
~~
Timpul trece asa de repede incat nici nu observam . In curand voi incepe viata de student si este un pic infricosator.hehe. Oricum..am ceva sa va arat. Ador iarna si zapada..poate pentru ca sunt nascuta in Decembrie dar pur si simplu o ador. ..in special pentru ca este perioada Craciunului...toate cadourile si colindele si atmosfera calda..este minunat.
Si astfel...primii fulgi de nea au cazut pentru mine. Am facut fulgi din hartie si anul trecut si toata lumea care i.a primit de la mine cadou i.au placut. foarte mult astfel incat am decis sa incep mai devreme anul acesta si sa fac cativa....in special pentru ca nu stiu cat timp voi avea dupa ce voi incepe facultatea.
Deocamdata am facut cativa pe nuante de albastru..ador albastrul..heheh. Data viitoare vreau sa fac cativa albi..si daca cineva doreste in special am sa fac si pe alte culori. Bradul meu va fi pe nuante de albastru si alb deci nu prea vreau sa incerc sa fac alte culori decat daca vrea cineva in special. Altfel o sa stea intr.o cutie fara sa fie folositi..si nu vreau asta. 
Oricum..iata cateva fotografii.

Also..I.m trying some different signatures..what do u think of this one??
This week is a Linky Party at MIM again and I couldn.t help myself not submitting anything..It's so much fun and I found so many great crafters out there.So this week I.m partying with this lovely snowflakes..
MIM #106 with Bugaboo Stamps~~
De asemenea incerc cateva semnaturi noi..ce credeti despre asta ?
In aceasta saptamana este o petrecere la MIM din nou si nu m.am putut abtine sa nu particip.Este asa de distractiv si am gasit atat de multi crafteri talentati acolo.Asa ca in aceasta saptamana petrec cu acesti fulgi de "nea" hehe.

I have this project I.m working on but I.m going to reveal it later.For now I want to show u some pics of one of my fav projects. As I said I love crafting for my loved ones.. I think thats the greatest joy I achieved till now.The happiness on the face of a loved one is priceless and the joy that I get from that its just as amazing.

I believe I mentioned before that my best friend is going to study for 3 years in Italy and well I will definetly see her again but not as often..she.s been my desk mate for almost 4 years and she.s the one that I shared most with..my worries,my happines, my everything and so I.m sad she.s going but also glad.she has a opportunitty that its not easy to come by. Anyway..before she left me and our friends came up with this idea to make smth for her..and I suggested a memories book. So in our 2 days time we managed to come up with one beautiful photobook. I believe it couldve turned out waay better..[my creative side its not very pleased..heheh] but in our short time I think it came out perfect and our care and love its noticeable anyway.

I sewed[or well my mom cuz we were in a hurry and it wouldve taken me hours to finish it by myself] the cover from different pieces of fabric put together..and i added some buttons and a  windmill for effect.

~~

Am un proiect la care lucrez zilele acestea insa o sa il dezvalui mai tarziu.Astazi insa vreau sa va arat cateva poze cu unul din proiectele mele preferate. Cum am mai spus ador sa fac lucruri pentru cei dragi..cred ca este cea mai mare bucurie pe care am trait.o  . Fericirea de pe fetele celor dragi este de nepretuit..iar bucuria pe care o simt este la fel de pretioasa.

Cred ca am mai mentionat inainte despre prietena mea care a plecat sa studieze in Italia pentru 3 ani de zile si pe care cu siguranta o voi mai vedea insa nu la fel de des....mi.a fost colega de banca pentru aproape 4 ani de zile si a fost cea cu care am impartasit toate experientele fie ele rele sau bune si sunt trista ca pleaca insa ma bucur pentru ea. 

Oricum...inainte sa plece eu si prietenii nostri am venit cu aceasta idee sa ii facem ceva inainte sa plece iar eu am sugerat un caiet de amintiri. Asa ca in cele 2 zile pe care l.eam avut am reusit sa face un frumos caiet cu fotografii. Ar fi iesit muult mai frumos..[partea mea creativa nu este foarte multumita heheh] dar in timpul scurt pe care l.am avut cred ca a iesit perfect iar  dragostea noastra se simte oricum.

Am cusut coperta [sau mai bine spus mama a cusut pentru ca mie mi.ar fi luat ore intregi pe care nu le.am avut la dispozitie] din bucati diferite de materiale puse la un loc..si am adaugat cativa nasturei si o morisca pentru efect.

To decorate most of the pages I used some of my quilling strips of paper and some lace i had in my house..and some decorative strips and beads. ..unfortunately though I wasnt able to use quilling much..and thats my greatest regret. but it turned out great anyway.

~~

Pentru a decora paginile am folosit cateva dintre fasiile de hartie pentru quilling..ceva dantela pe care am gasit.o prin casa si ceva margelute si fasie decorativa. ...din pacata insa nu am reusit sa introduc quilling foarte mult si acesta este cel mai mare regret al meu....insa a iesit superb oricum.

Also me and my friends loove Harry Potter. its part of our childhood and like any fan we all wish to receive that admission letter from Hogwarts by a owl.We know it.s not possible but at least we made it possible for our friend..soo I   took the acceptance letter and modified it a little bit and I put in in the book too. I knew that would make her smile.Who wouldnt love that?

~~

De asemenea mie si prietenilor mei ne place Harry Potter..face parte din copilaria noastra si intocmai ca ceilalti fani ne.am dorit intotdeauna sa primit acea scrisoare de acceptare de la Hogwarts prin intermediul unei bufnite. Stim cu totii ca nu este posibil dar macar am putut sa ii facem aceasta bucurie prietenei noastra asa ca..am luat de pe internet scrisoarea ..am modificat.o un pic si am pus.o in caiet .Stiam ca asta o sa o faca sa zambeasca..Cui nu i.ar placea asta?

Along with this I gave her that dreamcatcher I posted earlier. She finally hanged it in her new room.

~~

Impreuna cu acest caiet i.am dat si acel prinzator de vise pe care l.am postat mai devreme. In sfarsit l.a agatat in noua sa camera.

Well till my next post take care of you and remember to be happy and enjoy every moment with ur loved ones heheh.

~~

Pana la urmatoarea mea postare aveti grija de voi si nu uitati sa fiti fericiti si sa va bucurati de fiecare moment alaturi de cei dragi.heheh

Hi there everybody~How have you been ? i know I havent posted anything for a while buut I.ve been busy kk. Yesterday was my best friends birthday and well ,as many of you know already, I had to make her something. So while thinking of what can I do for her to be special yet "birthday like" I remembered how much she and I love cupcakes and thats how I decided to quill her some cupcakes~I had a lot of trouble with them cuz I dont have that mold that quillers usually use to make cupcakes so some of them turned out kinda weird.
~~
Buna tuturor~Ce mai faceti?Stiu ca nu am postat de ceva vreme dar nu am stat degeaba. Ieri a fost ziua prietenei mele cele mai bune si..,asa cum multi dintre voi stiti deja, a trebuit sa ii fac ceva.Asa ca in timp ce ma gandeam ce sa ii fac ca sa fie special si totusi potrivit pentru ocazie ,mi.am amintit cat de mult ne plac si mie si ei briosele, asa ca am decis sa ii fac niste briose din quilling. Am avut un pic de lucru cu ele pentru ca nu am acea forma speciala pe care multi quillers o folosesc pentru briose asa ca unele au iesit un pic ciudat.

They still turned out quite nice don.t you think so?~ I really love them. For now I made around 10 cupcakes and I plan on doing more. For my friend I.ll pack up these 6 and send them to her,hopefully soon.If not i.ll personally give them to her first them we meet again.

~~

Au iesit destul de dragut nu credeti?Imi plac foarte mult. Deocamdata am facut 10 briose si planuiesc sa fac mai multe.Iar pentru prietena mea o sa impachetez aceste 6 briose si o sa i le trimit in curand. Altfel o sa i le dau personal prima data cand ne intalnim.

I still got problems with my signature..Can.t decide..I mean I find one and then I find out that I can.t use it in some pictures cuz its not visible..going crazy really.Hope I find one soon that I can stick to ~

Till next time take care of you and happy quilling.

*hugs*

~~

Inca am probleme cu semnatura.Nu ma pot decide..Gasesc una si apoi imi dau seama ca nu merge pe toate pozele pentru ca pe unele nu este vizibila..inebune:)) Sper sa gasesc una cu care sa fiu fericita in curand~

Pana data viitoare aveti grija de voi si quilling fericit.heheh.

*hugs*
