I still can't belivie waht happened today
The day started out normally with me customizing an online magazine template for our site. Suddenly I heard knocking and somebody trying to open the door (which was locked). Susspiciously I went to see who it was. Much to my surprise there were police men, a guy dresses in a fancy suit and some old people standing behind them. I opened the door and I found out the the guy in the suit for a court official serving me with an eviction notice dating TODAY. The policemen were there to knock down the door in case nobody was home and the old people were the new owners of the house.
Apparently our rented house was subject to a trial as long as 14 years between to step brothers and the one who rented us the place had just lost and "forgot" to tell us about it. The new owner wanted us out immediately, like right now, screaming in the courtyard that he waited 14 years to get his hands on this house and he's not gonna wait one hour longer.
Thank God the court official was a sane and reasonable man and to whom I could explain that we knew nothing about the trial or any of their family problems. But the old guy wouldn't stop shouting at me, so in a rush of pure panic I slammed the door in their faces and I locked it. I called my boyfriend to come home, and my parents and his parents... somehow hoping if there were more of us we would manage to overcome this situation.
And yes, stalling them until our families came was the right thing to do (one of the policemen actually congratulated me for my course of action), giving the court official time to reason with the insane old man. After a loooong discussion with our parents they decided to give us 5 days to find a new place and move out. So my thing for today was packing up my stuff.And what shocked me the most was that one of the policemen told me that if I wouldn't have been home today they would have broken down our door, taken all our stuff into the street, changed the lock and given the keys to the new owners.Just because they gave the verdict 5 days ago and our landlord should have told us to move out.

Blog template and food
I've been working at the web templates for our upcoming site but all I did so far looks more like a blog template... :(
I'm gonna show you one of the themes maybe you've got some ideas. It's without any content and still missing menus on the left and right.
Oh, and btw, if you have any ideas on how to name an online magazine about handmade (lifestyle and projects) please do share :)
PS: made a really good thing to eat tonight: boiled potatos and beet (sfecla rosie) mixed with white garlic sauce. Turned out great

Wooden box
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 :)

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.

Ta-daa !!!
It's ready. It's finished. It's dry!
The formerly tall, old, wooden brown lamp (that I found in an abandoned house) is now colorfully striped with hot pink, turquoise blue and warm green + plus a new flowery lampshade. My work for the past 3 days is finally done. I am happy! Tell me your thoughts. Would it look better if I fixed the lampshade to sit strait?
