Christmas flower decorations

These flowers that resemble Euphorbia plants are a great decoration for your house at Christmas time, but also throughout the year. They can be placed almost anywhere like on the festive holiday table, furniture in general, on top of your PC monitor, etc.

I wasn’t sure my simple written instructions would be enough (because of my lack of sewing terminology…), I also posted a video of my mom sewing a flower decoration so you’ll be able to see what I’m writing about and have a clear vision of how exactly should it be done.

How to make – Christmas (and not only) flower decorations

colored fabric (you might have laying around and can reuse)
needle
thread
beads

Cut your templates for 6 bigger and 6 smaller petal. Place the smaller ones in the middle of the bigger petals.

Making sure your needle goes through both petals start from the bottom in the center of the petals.

Place one bigger or two smaller beads.

Get your next petal and poke the needle through the top to the bottom then proceed to the top.

You’ll see your flower get shape even with just the two petals already.

At this point you’re back at the first step as you got your needle and thread from the bottom to top. After placing the bead(s) again, repeat the next steps until your flower is completed.

Finish your sewing on the back and arrange the petals.

Why you should be alone in these situations

A few weeks ago my fiancé was testing his microphone after installing the Windows Voice Recognition program right in front of me, making me laugh ‘till tears.

Somehow I managed to type the funniest ones, so here they are, hope you have a laugh too!

“wait. don’t laugh. I’m just testing the microphone. I mean never mind, you’re going to laugh anyway… just saw the sentence I have to read out loud.”

“one, two. two! two two two! two already! not to, two!”

“press see. press see as in cat. press c.”

“say enter. oh… enter”

“next. next! start.”

“down. down! scroll down.”

"I love my bunny" (turns to me and says what the pc wrote: "I love my body…")

"love. L L! L as in load. L!" PC constantly writes "nove, N, N"

"insert. send. send! enter"

“inbox.” error so says “close.” program closes the whole window. don’t close that…

"stop listening.” says something to me, turns back to the monitor and find his sentence written “delete that." don’t write delete that… "stop listening! stop listening. cancel" finally…

This definitely is among the reasons you should be alone in situations like this if you don’t want anyone to publish your pearls

Many times, he sounded like Steve Martin in The Pink Panther when learning the famous phrase: “I want to buy a dahmbehrgerr, ehenber, embebber, ömbögarrrr, damburger”

I can’t get enough of this video!

Not in the mood to write… or to do anything today, so only this post for the day. This week’s updates are the following:

• New videos on My-Mood videos
• Brand new subpage with quotes from the Harry Potter book series J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter

The Final Destination

The 4th movie from the Final Destination series has been retitled from the working title Final Destination 4 to: "The Final Destination". It was a long wait since the last movie in 2006, but finally a trailer of the new movie was released as I noticed last night, and… it’s great! Death is closer than ever in digital 3D

The Final Destination will be in movie theater

on August 28 2009

Dare to live

Maybe this shows I’ve got too much spare time on my hands (who cares? ), but I love to sing and by now my shyness kinda faded away so I added here a video I made this weekend. Feel free to give me some feedback with your opinion.

" Try looking at tomorrow not yesterday
And all the things you left behind
All those tender words you did not say
The gentle touch you couldn’t find

In these days of nameless faces
There’s no one truth but only pieces
My life is all I have to give

Dare to live until the very last
Dare to live forget about the past
Dare to live giving something of yourself to others
Even when it seems there’s nothing more left to give."

So you won’t miss it :)

This is a new category I’m starting, mostly so it’ll make your (my dearest imaginary reader’s ) visits easier -> I’ll write a post every week when, aside from posting, I update any of my pages and subpages here on Life’s a stage – WebBlog. Just so you won’t miss it

Here it goes with this week’s updates:

• New videos on My-Mood Videos
• Had a bit of patience to type in some new quotations to Quotes
• Wrote a few new quotes to Sex and the City
• Added a new slide show with pics of the Old Kolozsvár to Photos in/of Kolozsvár

One step closer :)

So many things have happened in the past year and a half… many things that I can’t even believe happened, because they shouldn’t have, they really didn’t fit in with any of my plans, with the things I imagined then.
But everything happens for a reason they say… I wonder what that reason was in my case?
I don’t get it… but I guess the important thing is that I’m still alive (and that’s saying something knowing that I was just one inch away from dying), it’s hard not being ‘happy’, just ‘not sad’ sometimes. But that will also pass with time, and I have a few things to live for. I’m not gonna make a list, nobody cares about it anyway, but after a long long time I feel sort of happy again.
Not as much as I was before, and I don’t know how long it will last this time, if anything I’d like now will happen or not… but I think I now have one more reason to live for ->

My Sweetheart and I are one step closer to living together!
It’s gonna take a long time, and lots of stress, but at least it will be ours, for a lot less money than a new place, and that’s worth it. We’re going to remodel my house so it’s more practical, with bigger rooms and separate entrances, new things, etc.
And I’m proud to say that I’ll finally be able to use all the things I’ve learned at design school and realize for myself almost all my dreams for this place, structural and interior design wise too, since I’m good at both.

And even though I could be happier, I am a bit happy! And that’s a big deal for me right now
