Eiffel Tower.. You and me could write a bad romance.

The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, due to the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.

The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.

The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.

Once the tallest structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower is probably Europe's best known landmark and Paris's most famous symbol.

You couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower.

I couldn't agree more.

Madeline being one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, even then, I've always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower.

And since I can't go there yet.. This little one will have to do in the meantime. :)

I've always loved puzzles. :)

 Ta dah!!! :D

 My very own Eiffel Tower inside my little room. :)

My adopted pig staring at the little Tower. :)

 Like I always say, listen to music every time you work. 

And when I was making that tower, Lady Gaga was on shuffle. :)

Fabric Flowers again

I still haven't got copies of photos on how my mom made fabric flowers :(

To make up for it though, I searched videos on YouTube that you can watch & follow :)

And as promised, here are the photos of what I did with the fabric flowers my mom made :)

 So these are the flowers.

The small ones..

 And the big ones!

 It's better to separate them according to their sizes so that when you lay them out, you won't have a hard time choosing which flower you're gonna use.

 Lay them on the blouse (on the part you want to put them. In this case, on the neckline)

 Get your sewing pins.

 Pin the flowers in place.

 And sew away!

 Yes. Sew with a dog beside you. Haha :D

 Sew the flowers on, one by one.

 It takes lots of patience.

 Every once in awhile, you might get pricked by the pins.

 But it's all worth it when you're done :)

 Just keep sewing, just keep sewing, just keep sewing..

(Sung in the tune of Just Keep Swimming from Finding Nemo)

 Keep sewing..

 And before you know it, you're done! :)

I'll post a pic of the finished blouse maybe tomorrow :)

Goodnight, everyone! :)
