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.

    shaped bokeh lights

    I've always been enchanted with bokeh lights.. Especially with shaped ones. So before I had my SLR camera, I came across a DIY shaped bokeh lights and vaguely remembered that I need a filter with a cut-out (or punched out) shape: heart, bow, butterfly, star etc.)

    So without further ado, I cut out a circle in the size of my camera lens and cut out a BIG heart in the middle of it.I know that's not right. But I always google after I did something and didn't get the desired result. 
    This is what I got
    left bottom corner
    right side and at the top
     Look at the indicated areas.
    There you can see the edges of my cut-out heart shape. So, easy to guess it was too big.
    Then I googled DIY instructions and now I know how to.
    I'll try to make a bunch of shapes and have fun one of these days.


    I advise you to google some nice pictures of shaped bokeh lights to see what it must look like when done properly.
