Actually it has been a year!<br />
And what one.<br />
A lot of changes happened and in some ways not enough.<br />
I'll see what 2014 brings...and you will see too!<br />
<br />
I promise to try and blog more regularly and hopefully get more people following this blog.<br />
I'll see you next year ;)<br />

And that wrap's it up. That suitcase on the right and on the ground are mine. Yes I did some damage ;)<br />
But I did finally find some flamingo lawn ornaments for the pricely sum of...$7. Ha!<br />

I didn't realise I took so much!<br />
<br />
I'm going to begin on a more serious note. The <a href="http://www.911memorial.org/">9/11 memorial</a>. Words can not explain it, pictures neither.<br />

<br />
So...at the end of September I went to New York for the second time. Again the week was crammed full with sightseeing, shopping and a smidge of culture. I still haven't seen everything. And I keep adding favourite shopping adresses.<br />
<br />
Picture time!<br />

Do you know what this is? It's part of a mini exhibition at the <a href="http://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman">Public Library</a> (Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street). This exhibition was made for me. Very vintage kitsch and...free! Some more pictures for you.<br />

That view...sigh...I wish I was there again...<br />
<br />
I think I'll leave it with this for tonight. Otherwise...picture overload!!! There is so much I still want to share, but first a reminder. Yes, it's here again...Dressember! You heard it right. A whole month of dresses.<br />

Goodnight and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Dressember">join Dressember</a>!<br />

I like a bit of hand sewing. You can't always use a machine! And then I found a few of my winter skirts. All of them are too big at the waist. So why not alter them? I didn't think it would be easy, but easy enough. WRONG! I'm still working on the first skirt (the others are even more of a challenge). <br />
So what do I have to show for at this point?<br />
A skirt with a waistband I have to hand sew on the wrong side.<br />
A broken needle from my sewing machine (don't even ask!).<br />
Unendless frustration with myself, the skirt and the sewing machine.<br />
<br />
Long story short...it all went wrong! <br />
Better start on that waistband...Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11248016822484256237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460178003288140092.post-29228536918620212102012-09-24T23:09:00.001+02:002012-09-24T23:09:54.075+02:00London calling, last one I promise ;)If you say London (or the UK for that matter) I think of: Vivien Of Holloway, Collectif, What Katie Did and Freddies of Pinewood. Look it up, it changed my life ;)<br />
I bought something of all of the above! Yes no pictures of WKD, but seriously! Did you really think I was going to post a picture like that?<br />
<br />
The last picture is of a great shop in the Camden stables market.<br />
Black Rose. And I didn't buy a dress there! But I did buy some lovely Freddies of Pinewood jeans. Whoopie!<br />
Tomorrow I'll be in an iron bird ;)<br />

So last year I found some lovely things at Beyond Retro. Including a swim cap with flowers. This year however, nada!<br />
But no fear. Brick Lane has enough other shops to offer with gorgeous and affordable vintage. Just throw yourself in the Sunday crowd and rummage!<br />
<br />
This year I also went looking in the Lower Marsh. Prices are a bit steep for my taste. I did find one lovely shop with ok prices (but I would have loved them to be just a bit cheaper). It's What the butler wore. I went home with 2 summery dresses. <br />

I went to London at the beginning of July. I fully intended to make a full blogpost of this weekend of shop till you drop. Did you see it? Neither did I. However since I'll be going across the GREAT pond tomorrow...I'll present a few short posts with pictures. And after that updates from...uhm...well you'll see ;)<br />

I have made a dress a great while ago. There should be a jacket with it. That did not happen...yet.<br />
My thought was to put them both in one post. Not going to happen.<br />
So....picture time!<br />

So I would be sure they would fit and it would be original. <br />
I started with the project in January. First I found the pattern: Simplicity 5403. I'm not going to put a picture of it on here, because it says: "costumes for adults". Go figure. I just wanted a real circle skirt, so I thought to hell with it! Then I found some lovely fabric with a light stripe in green. What's it made of? Haven't got the foggiest.<br />
The whole experience of pinning and cutting was fun, but tedious. After it was cut, I didn't touch it for a few months. <br />
Yes, I was terrified of the sewing machine!<br />
And then like magic I just really wanted to make the damn thing. So I did. My mum helped me along the way. Just because I know lessons would frustrate me. Not that the skirt came together without frustration, but that's the fun of it? Right?<br />
Either way I finished it after working on it a bit every night for a week. And I'm really proud of myself! <br />
I already started a new project this weekend. Guess what? I've already been busy with the sewing machine!<br />
The sound of that thing is getting addictive!<br />

First of all this is an outfit post. The pictures are from last week, when it was unseasonally gorgeous weather. My lovely dress and belt are from Vivien Of Holloway. The glasses, I'm not sure!<br />
Number two in this post is my lovely hair, if I do say so myself. My second try at pincurls. At first I look like I just put my fingers into an electrical socket. however after a few firm brush strokes all is well.<br />
Now the third item is a bit of a trial. I wanted to achieve red lips, without all the fuss of lipliner. So I tried Super Stay 24 by Maybelline New York. I went for Red Passion, of course. Great colour and it does stay 24 hours, if not more. The best way to achieve this is to wait a while to apply the balm after you've put on the colour. I like it a lot, just because my beauty routine is a bit faster with it. Great for the day time. So here are the pictures!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-dWNOs82XMN8Is9vadaH48gwZyAK3ATYiNeL50UVMwKpKXDHti1glXvYw-O5JT1QN7P4F4XPVAmbJyiQHXmiKlV7wF7SSxUMOhVPK_TwxvC9sx2EI0bxAqVdgtYwDXO8mmizIE4OGMYY/s640/blogger-image-711809538.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-dWNOs82XMN8Is9vadaH48gwZyAK3ATYiNeL50UVMwKpKXDHti1glXvYw-O5JT1QN7P4F4XPVAmbJyiQHXmiKlV7wF7SSxUMOhVPK_TwxvC9sx2EI0bxAqVdgtYwDXO8mmizIE4OGMYY/s640/blogger-image-711809538.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_vXTutmx9y74aDHcrAngDwcLEewu6_okr4SUzam0sTayy4YjvUGFNp1kmhG9H2B2xIH67QwuujIF9BQ7nfnxkhntHiHNXFfxA6JgInYk14o1vTSSNd-TE40WI4Wrld34rVoZL1fjM1M/s640/blogger-image--213420482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_vXTutmx9y74aDHcrAngDwcLEewu6_okr4SUzam0sTayy4YjvUGFNp1kmhG9H2B2xIH67QwuujIF9BQ7nfnxkhntHiHNXFfxA6JgInYk14o1vTSSNd-TE40WI4Wrld34rVoZL1fjM1M/s640/blogger-image--213420482.jpg" /></a></div>Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11248016822484256237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460178003288140092.post-75844298952849842402012-03-29T20:27:00.001+02:002012-03-29T20:27:33.127+02:00Another give away!Once more a give away, not by me.

I've been on a knitting streak for a while. However finishing things is not my strong suit. But today I had enough of that. Every piece that was needed for my beret was knitted. But I still had to attach the bow to the beret. To use another proverb: the proof is in the pudding. So here's a picture! This pattern can be found in: A Stitch In Time, volume 2.
