This week the weather was pretty dull for summer so I didn't went to the beach once. I tried to ocupied my time with DIYs and I come up with some pretty nice ideas. My favourite was this painting that I hang on my bedroom wall, that is a representation of books I've read that I will never forget :)

I started by drawing with a pencil, and then I used watercolors and black fine-tipped pen.

I remember I had this lights stored somewhere from when I was younger. Now, they hang from my mirror and make it look much prettier!

As my room takes shape, I love it more and more. This is a detail of my nightstand that includes my lamp's foot, two candles, a plate where i keep some lost jewelry and some books.

My mom bought this to me when she was in London last month and finally this week it found a place to stay in my workshop :) I think it's so lovely! Thank you Mom!

Another thing my Mom brought from London was this lampshade that comes with 30 elements that you link (like a puzzle) to create different forms. I did the classic round one for now but you can always change it. You can buy one here.

Studs all around

I love to mix all kinds of bracelets and one of my favourite type of bracelets are the studed ones, I think they look badass. So today I tough I would show you guys how to make one. It's really simple, you just have to be a bit perfectionist if you want it to look good.

So this is what you'll need:

2 simple silver bracelets; silver studs (17); pliers.

 Let's start:

Tighten the stud around one of the bracelets; make sure to press it with the pliers.

Then, attach the other bracelet to the stud.

Keep adding studs, repeating the same process.

This is how it should look.

Add studs all around the bracelets and you're done!

Belt Organizer

As I've already told you guys, I'll be posting a lot of Home Decor DIYs for a while. The one I bring you today it's a belt organizer wich, I think, it's very helpfull.

You will need a long board. The one I used was 50cm (19,5') long. A wire hanger that you can cut. Hooks, as many as you want (I used 10). And finaly some ribbon for decorating. When it comes to tools you should have a ruler, pencil, glue, cutting pliers, and a bradawl.

How to:

*Mark where you want your hooks to be. Mine was 2,5cm at each end and then 5cm between each hook. Find the middle of the board where you will put the top part of the hanger.

* Cut your wire hanger as seen in the picture and, where you've marked the middle, make a hole using the bradawl and glue the top part of the hanger.

*While it dries, start attaching the hooks to your board using the help of the bradawl.

 *Now you can decorate it as you like! I used two types of ribbons and I only glue it  on the back because this glue leaves quite a mark on the fabric.

 *Once you've finished you can place a hook on your closet door (or any place you like) so you can hang your belt organizer.

*And here it is! Hope you guys try it, it's easy and very usefull :)

This week was basicly dedicated to DIYs (as I said on my last post, I'm redecorating my room). I love creative work like this, it is so good for your mind and I feel that it's one of the few times of my day where I'm actually not thinking of any problems I might have. 

Tuesday I went to the movies to watch Ted (don't know if you guys are fans of family guy or not, but if you are, the movie is hilarious) and because me and my bf where dreaming about jelly beans for quite some time we went to a candyshop and bought way to many sweets. Obviously the next day we still had a bunch of them! I took the chance to leave a little gift to my mom.

 Some sweets I left for my Mom :)

I had lost this earring so many years ago that I didn't even remember it. I'm really happy I got it back and I think it's great for summer!

Poisonous looking cupcakes I baked for my Dad who just arrived from a very long business trip. I'm really happy he's back ♥

View from my sister's living room. What a beautiful night it was :)

Some black and red berries I found when I went for a hike this Sunday with a couple of friends.

Return

Hi guys. I'm sorry I stopped posting for such a long time. There is actually no excuse, because when we want do something we can always find time to do it. I can say that it has been some crazy times, with nacional exames, changing college, changing town... But I actually have been in summer vacations for a couple of weeks now, but I just wasn't feeling like posting. But this changed and I hope for good.

But with this come back, new things are coming. I haven't feel like blogging but I never stopped DIYing and I have a lot of good ideas and pictures for you guys. Also I just made the biggest purchase of my life! I bought a new camera (I spent almost every money I had put aside), a Canon 600D! I'm really happy with it since I've been dreaming with it for almost two years although it's hard to give so much money like that. But it has so much quality!

So, I'm planning a few changes that I hope will please you all :)

Oh! And I'm redecorating my room and my workshop so I have a bunch of Home decorating ideas to share with you!

Sneak peek of a future DIY!
