Just a simple wooden box that I painted. I love boxes of all kinds, but especially the ones I can paint :)

TV table
This is something that I've been working at for a while now. It's a really nice small table that we found in an old workshop. I liked the curved shape of the top so I decided to turn it into something resembling a TV, it's not lacquered yet, I'm still thinking if I should make the "screen" a brighter color. Hope you like it :)

Roller table restored
I've been away from the computer for a while but that doesn't mean I didn't do any crafting in the meantime. On the contrary I managed to turn around a really old and rusty roller metal table into one that screams brand new white and mod. Check it out here.
Chocolate pie?
Hey guys ! From now on you can call me the unluckiest person in the world... Just imagine, I got over this nasty cold just to get food poisoning :( And you know what's the worst this about food poisoning - you can't have any sweets... And, yes, I'm a sugar addict!
But now I'm better and to celebrate I tried making some chocolate. yum! It didn't turn out as hard as chocolate should be so I used it as cream for a sort-of chocolate pie.
This is what we used: 150 g of cocoa powder, 150 g butter mixed in a bowl with about 300g powdered milk (thanks to Andrei who stole that from his newborn niece). We melted 300 g of sugar in about 150 g of water and added this to the rest of the ingredients. Mixed with nuts and poured over some store bought pie dough it tasted amazing. Just spectacular after a week with no sweets !

Kusudama flowers
For today's TaD I made some kusudama flowers. I love origami, it's one of the things that relaxes me the most.
I haven't done flowers in a while so the first two were a little shaky, but then I put on a movie and by the time it was finished I had about nine flowers ready :)
I'm thinking about putting them o a string and hanging them by the window. At least like this i can try to pretend is springtime...

From black to white and green
I found this nicely carved old wooden box at a local flea market. It was black and the former owner wrote her name on it with nail polish. It looked pretty bad but it called out to me filled with potential. I scrubbed it to the wood and I decided to make it white. But then I thought green would be better. Finally I stopped somewhere in the middle and this is the result.
I want to make some nice floral drawings inside and I got some 3D red paint for that. I'm testing it right now, and if in the morning it won't smudge than I'll show you the sequel tomorrow.

Fluffy bed capiton
Still painting on my tall lamp and knowing it's not gonna be done today I decided to make another project for today's TaD.
This is my new fluffy bed capiton made from a wooden board as long as my bed and as tall as needed to lean on it while watching movies.
Covered with leftover fabric from a drape project gone wrong and filled with pillow stuffing. I used a staple gun to put the whole thing together and it turned out to be really easy to make. Only took about 15 minutes.

Thing a day
M-am inscris la editia de anul asta a proiectului Thing a Day, in care este incurajata crearea de lucruri noi in fiecare zi a lunii februarie.
Posturile mele de acolo vor fi publicate si pe blog, doar ca vor fi in engleza.
Asta e primul post, cel pentru 1 februarie.
I made cake in a cup
Which is not the same thing as cupcakes :)
I know, I know... you're gonna say that this is a blog about handmade, but who can work on an empty stomach? And my first project isn't done yet so this is all I have to show for today.
But getting back to the cake, it's amazing, and great for lazy people because all you have to do is mix the ingredients in a coffee cup and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. You need 4 tbsp of flour, 3 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of cocoa, 1 egg, 3 tbsp of milk and another 3 of vegetable oil and that's it ! You can also add any fruit, nuts or chocolate chips.
I made mine with nuts and blueberry jam. Yum!
