Quilling - Turning Paper Strips into Intricate Artworks Quilling has been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as impressive and popular now as it was during the Renaissance.

Later, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it became a favorite pass-time of English ladies who created wonderful decorations for their furniture and candles, through quilling.

Glen Brittle Fairy Pools Glen Brittle is actually a huge glen on the southern part of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Numerous tributaries of the Brittle go down from all of these mountain tops to the glen, together with a stream along with falls referred to as Fairy Pools, a well-known spot to take a stroll. They’re section of a flow going off of the Cuillin mountain range, filled with clearly hued pools of virtually still water that are interspersed with hectic waterfalls.

Lifestyles and needs are changing, and consequently, our houses are shrinking. The tiny house movement has blown up in the past few years, shifting the traditional North American housing models towards a more practical, finance-friendly blueprint.
