About me


Hi,

 My name is Alexandra. Nice to meet you!

 I am a person that tries to find something to do when I come home from sitting in front of a PC, that is not a PC. I am starting this blog after I decided to start learning quilling.

 "Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles etc."
I basically stumbled on quilling while searching for do it yourself Christmas and Halloween decorations.
Let's see what will happen.

I keep repeating my self today. 3. a pattern-notebook-template-thing - this is a math small notebook in which I doodle what I want to be my next project. I was inspired today so I have my next 5 projects doodled ( can't wait to do them!) I bored you enough so let's start talki...
