Diamonds are a princess's best friend

Hi! How was your Halloween? It's really my favorite holiday after Christmas, because of costume parties and that certain atmosphere, you can really feel the magic in the air. I always love a chance to dress up in a costume, but this year I was working late at the theater, and after a long week I didn't have the energy to go party anymore. But maybe next year we will have Halloween party of our own, when the renovation in our apartment is ready. 

Our palace to be is still under quite a chaos, for example half of my clothes are still missing somewhere, but I'm trying to focus on positive things. Next week we should get the rest of the wallpapers in the walls, and after it we could finally start unpack our stuff. Can't wait to have a real closet instead of a pile... 

I now have a couple days off, and I have spent today glueing diamonds in a Sleeping Beauty's dress while watching Sleeping Beauty. Sounds wonderful and weird, right? 

Sorry about dark pictures, we don't have lights yet in our livingroom so I have been doing this in a candle light.. :)

 

What that really is about, is that I had an idea to glue decoration diamonds in a princess wallpaper we have in our livingroom. I had been thinking to glue just some, but when I went to select the diamonds they were all so pretty... So I had to take diamonds to match the dresses of every princess, and of course chrystal and amethyst coloured... And in different sizes. I haven't counted the diamonds, but I now have glued about half of them and it has taken hours. But it's actually quite fun. 

There is a glue attached in the back of a diamond, that needs to be melted. Of that I'm using the candle. Blue tack attached in a pen is the best tool to pick up the diamonds :)

So today I have been focusing on Sleeping Beauty. It was perfection to glue the diamonds while watching, or better to say listening the Sleeping Beauty movie! So relaxing and beautiful. Perfect thing to do on a day off.  

I'm thinking tomorrow might be Cinderella's turn...:)

Have Courage And Be Kind,
