Simple DIY homedecor

Hello,

 

I have been thinking about this little project for a long time (there are several examples in Pinterest) and finally was able to execute it.

 

Its quite simple, using a template cut a heart out of paper and paint it black. Write any inspirational word (s) in the middle, something that makes you smile when you read it.

 

 

 I used a golden colour pen and added bits of  sparkle with a silver pen.

 

 

Choose a background to your liking, I choose this black and white pattern and cut it to the measure of the picture frame you would like to use. I used a white frame I got from a charity shop for 2 £.

 

 

Next with my paper-crafts best friend, double side tape, glue the heart to the middle

 

 

and voila!

 

 

I am very happy with the outcome, it now sits in my office desk.

 

 

Hope you have enjoyed this simple and low cost idea.

 

Have a lovely day!

Game of Thrones

Hello,

 

So all my life I have advocated that I don't like fantasy books. I have never read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, and don't plan to, although I saw most of the movies (my husband loves it and I made him sit through "Eat, Love and Pray" so...I owe him big time!).  

 

Three years ago, more or less, my husband suggested me "Game of Thrones". In the beginning I said no way but he convinced me and I am really glad he did, I LOVE IT! So much, that I have read the 5 books twice! I read on the net that G. Martin was almost finished with the 6th book ... naïve...and I wanted to have all the details fresh in my head so, I read them again.

 

My favourite characters from the beginning are Tyrion and Jon however, in the later book Jaime  became very interesting. I love the fact that G. Martin keeps twisting and surprising us with the character's stories. I also find the politics behind the "game of thrones" very interesting.

 

I have watched the first season of the TV series but didn't eally like it because i) too much sex (most of it not in the books); ii) the characters feel empty. In the books G. Martin develops deeply each character and you miss that in the TV series.

I know this is a delicate issue because

but seriously, when is the 6th book come out, the 5th ended in such a cliff-hanger!  G.Martin don't you go Robin Hobb on us!

For those who haven't read it, I highly recommend it, even if you are an assiduous viewer of the TV series.

And you? Are you also a fan of "Game of Thrones"? What other fantasy books, similar to GoT would you recommend?

Have a lovely day
