Music is the beat of a drum that keeps time with our emotions. ~Shannon L. Alder I don’t know about you, but I have come to welcome this. Not the idea of a pandemic, but this quiet peace and calmness in our home. I often think that our lives are a whirlwind of melodies and rhythms competing with one another to such a fast tempo that doesn’t stop unless from sheer exhaustion from the hustle and bustle of the day. At first, everyone was anxious and angry to be confined, but now adjusting to the new tempo, I’ve had the time to enjoy my children’s conversation and company again. Their faces are no longer completely buried in their phones and we’ve begun to work on a puzzle. It’s been nice to see them well rested and no stress from tests. I’m enjoying my moment at this new tempo. The melody and rhythmic pace is soothing and beautiful for now. I’m sad that it took this extreme method for it to happen, but my emotions are adapting to the slower steady beat of the drum. May you all be blessed to stay healthy and try to find your own steady beat during this unsteady time. #coronavirus2020 #drumbeatoflife #emotions #quilling #hardships #positivevibes #positiveenergy #washyourhands

  Here you can see how the paper is crimped...   So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now.  Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing!  Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments.  This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it.  Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about.  Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling  of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament.  She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
