angels and candles

Hello, everyone!

Just wanted to share/

There's this blissful moment when you're at home and the lights suddenly go out. What you gonna do? Light a candle. (My grandma actually uses a flash-light. Bo-o-oring! I go for candles.

Actually I have a whole bunch of candles and lanterns which I store at the top of a small bookshelf at the top of my piano. Looks great, especially with a piece of gift wrapper with angels, i used it as a wallpaper. Too cute!

And when the lights go out, I grab a box of matches and a flash light for my granny and rush to my room. It's so cool having all those candles in one place. I just mount a chair and start lighting them one by one. Love the job =)

Check out these pics.

I love my collections. This corner of my room is second favourite after the books-and-boxes-shelf corner.

Hope you liked the pics =)

Damask patterns

I've got a huge collection of pics on my pc, and there are a bunch of pretty backgrounds, and sure there are damask patterns, cuz I love them!

I googled some more of them for you to enjoy.

 black and white

they can be of various colours

 

 

and even multicolours

but i don't like these that much.. i'm into monochromatic ones.

there are loads of stuff you can make with damask patterns!

cakes

i want to know how they make it!

cushions

shoes

i would so wear them =)

tablewear

martini collection <3

boxes

furniture

this vintage sofa  looks simple, but nice

using chair covers is a quick and easy way of changing your room's look)

wallpaper and bedding. soo cool)

Clicking on each of these pics will take you to their sources. I strongly recommend you to check out all of them, where you can find even more damask pattern designs of everything.

I googled a bit more, and here's what Wikipedia says about damask and Damascus. Apparantely damask the fabric derived it's name from Damascus.
Arabs call the city Dimashq or al-Shām or (which is more important in my case ^_^ ) Madīnatul Yāsmīn (which literally means 'City of Jasmine')

I guess I'm taken with this pattern cuz it has deep connections with me. Funny though.
Anyways this pattern is a great inspiration for me.

15 days of handwriting

I'll probably do this project when I'm bored to death.

Day 1: What do you think of your handwriting?
Day 2: Handwrite your blog name alongside your real name.
Day 3: Handwrite your favorite quote.
Day 4: Handwrite your bestfriend’s/bestfriends’ name/s.
Day 5: Do you prefer printing or handwriting? What’s your opinion between the two?
Day 6: Handwrite your favorite song/song quote.
Day 7: Handwrite whatever you want with a blue/red pen.
Day 8: Handwrite your worst pet peeve.
Day 9: Handwrite something that always catches your attention.
Day 10: Handwrite all the websites you’re updated with.
Day 11: Handwrite your name using your left/right hand (opposite of what you normally use).
Day 12: Try writing about how your handwriting can define you or not.
Day 13: Handwrite your blog crushes.
Day 14: Handwrite “hello”.
Day 15: Handwrite whatever you want and use different colored pens filling up the whole piece of paper or whatsoever

organizing meself

and one more thing xD

i love making lists. it helps to be organized (though my life can be called anything but organized)

I just have this little PocketMod with me all the time and I put stuff in there, I try to do something each day. So that I don't just waste time.

But besides that I sometimes make plain lists of things I need/want/have to do. That's how I can always see if there's something urgent to be done.

There are 4 types of to-do's. (I read about these somewhere on the internet)

1. You'll get into trouble if you don't do it in time.

2. People are waiting for you to do it.

3. You get money for doing it.

4. Things you just need to do.

So you just need to decide on your priorities and start doing something.

And lists help to concentrate.

I think I'll start with posting a list of things I want to do before 2011.

And I found this idea of birthday lists via Elsie from "A Beautiful Mess". (The idea's from HulaSeventy)

The thing is you make a list of things to do before your next birthday. E.g., when I turn 25 in January'11 I'll make a list of 25 before 26. I'll have to do 25 things before I turn 26. And so on. 26 before 27. 27 before 28.

It's gonna be FUN!

Done with lists for now.

new blog

and yet another thing I'd like to mention here.

as I've got a collection of mugs and cups I want to post them all for everyone to see. So I think I'll have another blog here, filled with my love to cups! I just need to come up with a cool title.

any ideas?

Monday Morning

Our first Monday Morning is about today's MM.

It started rather early cuz I didn't bother to go to bed. Instead I was surfing cute pictures of cups and cupcakes, of kids and fashion girls, and installed a couple of useful apps on my Nokia (I <3 Nokia!) Now I've got skype at hand everytime. Nice, huh?

Than after a nice warm shower I had a nice warm breakfast.

tea, cake, eggs/

 Best breakfast as long as we are out of milk and I can't have cereal. Pity.

So I definitely don't like raw eggs, so I cooked them a bit. Like this.

or a bit more cooked than these..

As I usually drink warm tea with no sugar I make a hot cup beforehand, and it cools while I'm eating. And I accompany it with 2 slices of cake.

And a picture of a cute cup and a superhero cup (the pics are not mine) to finish this oh-so-boring post.

new labels

As I'm obviously not getting the Blogger of the Year award (not even of the Month or the Week) so I decided to spice up this blog with something actually boring. I'm going to post something every Monday Morning (Moarning?) no matter what happens.

So today's a Monday and we'll be having our first Monday Morning entry in this supercute blog of supercool me.

And besides I think I'll start adding labels to all the entries from the very beginning. Wish me luck!

p.s. if you think I'm weird you might be correct, cuz no one actually comments here, so I'm probably talking to myself all the time and I even blog for myself.
