<br />
Well just to let you know I am .... still here, just taking a break in this prolonged and cold winter/spring!!!<br />
<br />
I had 3 colds in 3 months, a fourth started last night, so I am waiting for the warm weather to come back and lift this lazy cloud which has hovered over my head since the arrival of 2013 really!!!!!<br />
<br />
It is hard to stay creative when there is so much going around you or not..... but I have not been totally apathetic : I had a spring clean out which started over a month ago, to stop the confusion inside and out of my brain, and after so many bags filled with years of purchases in books, clothes, trinkets, toys...etc I already feel much better and victorious! ( Still so much to do though!)<br />
<br />
Next project is the purchase of a Kitchen Aid food processor and a kitchen island cabinet to start baking!!! ( Currently my kitchen is the size of a cupboard so baking is not an option, although I am sure that anything is possible with a bit of imagination!).<br />
<br />
There is also a parallel plan to start a spring diet ( not necessarily a tandem idea with baking!) but fear not as I still have to save a few years to be able to afford the above...but what a dream this is!)<br />
<br />
<br />
So to cheer us all up here are some cute pictures of little fluffy "possums" still hibernating as "moi", with lots of dreams of an overdue spring and so many things to do and accomplish!<br />
<br />
Lots of cuddles from under the blanket, and talking of blankets I have so much fabric stashed away, waiting for sewing that my hands are itching and I hope to be back in a few weeks with the first craft projects pictures!<br />

<br />
It is sooo cold in London as I believe... "almost everywhere else" in the same latitude.... so it is nice to dream about the coming Spring, anticipating nice Retro Fashion with a wink to the 50's and 60's as inspiration !<br />
<br />
I just fell in love with two Fashion labels, one MADE in the UK and the other in the USA!<br />
<br />
First let's talk about Ted Baker, the shops are so eccentric and interesting that each one is a mini adventure in itself:<br />
The Regent's St store has a crazy lift with 50 misterious red buttons, each plays a weird catchy song, rime, etc and I love going up and down just to try as many songs as possible, just like a child in a juke box - lift!!!<br />
<br />
The Westfield store has fake grass and rabbits on...the ceiling! The Chelsea store has upside down displays stuck on the wall with quintessential old English crockery as to prepare for a weird Alice in Wonderland party! Even the Windows are strange and captivating... FANTASTIC!<br />
<br />

I am snowed in!!! <br />
<br />
It is all white here in London, so I feel a bit hibernated and cold.... it also feels like all my creativity has migrated to some other far away hot country ! <br />
<br />
Tomorrow the schools are closed so I will have more time to snow ball fight with the kids....<br />
<br />
Lucky for me I get some free time in the semi-warmth of my lounge in the evening and I get comfort by chasing vintage and retro ideas on Etsy and Ebay.... <br />
<br />
I am now stuck with the nostalgia of Vintage 50' Magazines.... I love the hair & make-up of the ladies of this time, also the fashion and humour...<br />
Here is a small selection to keep your heart warm too....it works!!!!<br />

<br />
Well here we are in 2013!!! Welcome back and best wishes for a Happy Year of Sewing and...good health!<br />
<br />
I would like to celebrate the new year with a picture of All Saints shops, in London! I have always been fascinated by the number of Vintage Singers sewing machines on display and the industrial themed fittings, so here they are for us all to enjoy:<br />

I have survived the last big holiday with the kids by exploring London, visiting the Science Museum, chasing the Sales with not much luck and ...being lazy as much as possible! Last week I went crazy because a BUG blocked the Upload of any pictures onto the Blog, so I was very upset about this estra long pause in my Blogging, but I just managed to find a way to solve temporarily the issue so here are my pre-saved pictures..... enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now it is back to school Mummy Taxi Service and all the usual suspects, so I am hoping to go back sewing asap !<br />
<br />
In the meantime I have been busy at night time (!) my only free time, to surf the Web hunting for interesting Vintage collector items, and in the process I have obsessed over Vintage handbags....yes still handbags ....so I would like to share some real gems...!<br />
<br />
I am currently in love with Vintage purses from the 50' and 60' s and evening Compacts or Minaudieres. They are tiny pretty things, to die for really, and available on Ebay, Etsy or Vintage Markets ( Alexandra Palace Vintage Fair is a good one!!!)<br />

I fell in love with this Chanel mint green patent quilted classic hand bag, I even touched it in Harrods for a few seconds and I was in Heaven...try to believe this! It is a dream as retails over £ 3000.00 but I guess it is worth every penny, the interior is a matching leather with a secret love pocket....aaaahh!</div>

This is Anya Hindmarch tiny option, Disco Mini cross body bag, it is minuscule but just adorable and weirdly heavy given the <br />
microscopic size!<br />

As I am a toy collector at heart, I suggest the purchase of these alternative compacts as well, Mini Polly Pockets by Bluebird from the 80'..not good for an evening out but lots of fun in the day time, still available on Ebay...I got a few! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they do not take up too muchspace either...so it is a win win situation!!!!</div>

<br />
It is not a secret that I love colour, pattern and texture, in all shape and form (toys to fabric) but really what a girl wants, really really wants are bags and shoes.... (and make-up ....and jewellery of course!), but I am a simple girl, and I like my comforts, so I was never one for the high heel and rather collect All Stars in all the colours of the rainbow!<br />
<br />
Now HANDBAGS....are a passion starting as far back as I can remember!<br />
<br />
I have ...many, all shapes, colour, sizes and style, cheap really as I find that the recent craze for IT bags priced £500,00 - £ 1000,00 upwords is WRONG! (Well I can't afford them anyway!). <br />
<br />
I have been looking for a good investment in the current Sales but I have been disappointed as so far nothing cought my eye and... my pocket size!<br />
<br />
<br />
However I have noticed 4 super cute candidates, maybe forever a dream but still, too cute to miss the chance of a special notice:<br />
<br />
<br />
1-<br />
<br />
The CUTE one - Anya Hindmarch Marano Clutch, a fun purse which plays music, lights up and snows....all packaging is to die for!!!!<br />
<br />
I LOVE THIS ONE!!! Unfortunately it is also very expensive ( Retails £ 865.00 on Sale £ 435.00 !) but it is a real dream bag!<br />

The SNOB - Saffiano Leather<br />
<br />
I Always liked the texture of this Leather style, only to recently discover that it is called Saffiano, and it is found in best leather manufacturers, such as Gucci, Hermes, Prada, and now DKNY and many more!<br />
<br />
Very elegant and one to dream for!<br />

Well.... I keep looking for more beauties....<br />
<br />
In the meantime.... Happy New Year! xxxMumRetroDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11569737836776427129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130765235868638671.post-70768180820030670272012-12-21T15:20:00.001-08:002012-12-22T13:59:26.904-08:00I Heart Covent Garden <br />
<br />
I love walking in the Centre of London, I still feel like a tourist when I visit my favorite destinations, Islington, Piccadilly, Oxford Street, Kings Road, Notting Hill, Marylebone, but the best is Covent Garden, as there is so much to do and see....for any age and taste...Soho, Theatres, Cafes and Restaurants, Shops and Market, Museums....Ballet, Cinemas......so if you are a tourist and lucky to visit London this winter : come and check for yourself!!!<br />
<br />
If you visit Monday morning you will have the added bonus of the Antique Market, which for any Vintage lover is a wonderful opportunity to bag a bargain ( I did!)...<br />
<br />
You can also walk in the main Market area where you will find great stalls and quirky handmade bits and bobs.<br />
<br />
I am also pleased to notice that Jamie Oliver (yes I am a fan) has just replaced an old fashioned and boring English open Cafe with a fantastic new and polished Restaurant. I am so impressed again not just with the food ( I am Italian so I kind of feel safe here) but with... the usual attention to detail! <br />
The Design is simple and great with fantastic colours and material choices....down to the coasters!!!<br />
<br />
Festive decorations....<br />

<br />
I arrived in London 17 years ago, this time of the year......it was 1995....gasp it was a loooong time ago!<br />
<br />
I remember the buzz of this wonderful city, and more than anything else the shop windows at their best for the winter holiday! <br />
The athmosphere was incredible and like then, I still love to walk around the town centre and check all the best shops and their fantastic windows....so this week I have been in Oxford Street, Covent Garden, Bond Street....Knightsbridge and Piccadilly. <br />
<br />
Lucky for me....looking is free of charge and for all to enjoy!!!<br />
<br />
Here is a selection of visual beauty for you.<br />

<br />
Today I treated myself to another day filled with "brain food" such as a visit to a Museum, although one of a different kind!<br />
<br />
After last week successful trip to the Tate Britain and the Pre-Raphaellites Exhibition, I joined some other mums in view of the soon feared school closure ( if you are a mum... you will know what I mean!) for a last chance of free morning time to go to Somerset House.<br />
<br />
It is full of events and places to visit: The Impressionist permanent Gallery, the Tim Walker Photograpic Exhibition, Valentino Couture, and for families there is the choice of a fun Ice Rink, Pop Up shops and the fantastic Tom Cafe and Rest.<br />
<br />
Some of the above is free, so it is not a bad destination for the pocket either!<br />
<br />

See some pictures and .... plan your next visit!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have always admired the utterly beautiful and out of the ordinary visual story tales by Tim Walker on Vogue . There are giant dolls, old houses filled with sand and robot like models..... it is a wonderful background to fashion of the highest standard! <br />
And yes ...I wish I had the giant doll all to myself, nevermind the size!<br />

<br />
<br />
Well here we are, almost one weeks to go before schools closing for the winter holiday break!<br />
<br />
That is what I am thinking right now as I need to start planning for fun daily ideas to keep my kids happy and entertained... not easy!<br />
<br />
So I will not have much time for me, my craft and blogging but that is ok..... if only it wasn't soooo cold!<br />
<br />
While all are busy shopping for presents I have a special idea pick for your craft buddies who already have it all: a sewing set by SAJOU! This French historical haberdashery manufacturer has resurrected the beautiful Vintage products and they are perfect although...expensive!<br />
<br />
Here some pictures to keep you (and me!)... salivating and hoping that someone...somewhere will pick up the idea!!!!!<br />

<br />
I love fabric. This I keep repeating....as I DO!!!<br />
<br />
So I find very hard to cut through some of my precious Vintage finds...as once they are gone...they are gone!!!!<br />
<br />
One way to "suffer" a little less ( yes I am a bit OCD!) is to "save" each pattern in a simple way, square samplers, and make coasters, mug rugs, bunting or napkins with the following simple technique: cut the fabric in small square shapes, 5-10-15 inch per side, ( you can use layer cake pre-cuts as well), use one side or double layer with or without quilt filling inside, sew around edges with different machine styles.<br />
<br />
Each square can be embellished with extra doily, lace, ribbon, button, patchwork to create unique pieces!<br />
<br />
Too simple really but just fun and useful for your cup of teas!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a super quick sewing project, easy peasy 15 mins each!!!!!<br />
<br />
I wanted to upcycle some redundant and blend padded hangers I did not like, so I got some Vintage fabric and Terry cloth, my helpful sewing machine ( but with some patience this project can be done by hand-sewing as well!), and I covered the existing boring hangers with a new fresh flower power look!<br />
<br />
Just cut a rectangle out of the chosen fabric, large enough to roll over the size of the hanger. Cut a small hole to get hook through, then sew 3 sides, does not need to be perfect!<br />
<br />
Can add extra lace, buttons to add colour!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
I love bright Retro 70s' fabrics, in particular the large floral bedding sheets, so I chased some on Ebay, charity shops and now I have a reasonable stock to use!!!!<br />
<br />
This is a cushion project, I up-cycled and used an old Ikea cushion, binned the stained cover and kept the inside padding, still soft and cuddly!<br />
<br />
I cut 2 large squares about 3-4 cm larger than the actual cushion size, different pattern fabrics and started to sew 3 edges inside out and , as I was lazy, closed the last side by hand!<br />
( With more time available it is recommended to create envelope style backing to remove cover and wash!)<br />
<br />
Finally I chose a pretty Vintage Doily, I collect them and can't have enough .... and with a needle and thread I hand stitched it around in a circle to the fabric. The cushion is done!<br />
<br />
This is a very simple way to upcycle existing old cushions and change home colour schemes around the seasons....select different fabrics and the possible combination are quite infinite!<br />

<br />
<br />
Today, a very cold day, I went with 3 other mums - friends from my kids school, to the Tate Britain to check out the Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition.<br />
It has been a very long time since my last visit to a museum, exclunding kids staff, so I was very excited to exercise my brain and heart again towards Art!<br />
<br />
<br />
It is well worth a visit, some of the paintings are really mesmerising and haunting! The use of colour is breath taking, almost a similar experience to Kaffe Fasset colour through fabric quilting, or at least that is how I felt the emotions coming through the painting!<br />
<br />

<br />
Last November I posted a few Aprons I made with a mix of Modern Retro and Vintage textiles, so today I am adding a pretty Vintage Style Apron made with Upcycled Graziela Fabric !<br />
<br />
I was very excited when I discovered this old Tablecloth made by Graziela with the iconic Apple 70's print in Spitafields Market!<br />
It is Orange, my favorite colour, matched to more Vintage fabrics in bright colours to make 2 large pockets, and created it in less than 30 minutes!<br />
<br />
I hope you like it!<br />

You must be asking why I am so besotted with Orla Kiely! Well today I was in London Covent Garden and visited the Showroom, so I have got even more excited about it because there is a new line of retro furniture coming out by the end of the month, so I could not resist! I just loved everything I saw, I could have moved in there and then!<br />

<br />
....So when the Monster High new Dolls came out on the market in 2010 ...it was a "huge" shock!<br />
<br />
I really did not like these scary faces, vampire teeth.....they just did not look right to me, next to pretty Barbie, Sindy, Blythe, even Bratz looked innocent girls next to Monsters High!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
But a year later, new dolls came out, lots of cute and interesting faces, somewhat weird but kind of almost pretty. I started to buy a couple and suddently I was cought in this new passion for these strange and unusual creatures!<br />
<br />
I even got a few vampires.....but still prefer Frankie and Lagoona!!!<br />
<br />
What do you think!? There are some crazy collectors out there, I have seen lots of incredible custom made black dollhouses... fantastic!<br />
<br />
This is my bit:<br />

<br />
I love Vintage Barbie, Sindy and Blythe Dolls.<br />
<br />
They are pretty and tell a story, and I am part of their story too as I started playing with these dolls in the early 70s' when I was....well a little girl! <br />
<br />
Now I am a big girl, but I still enjoy collecting dolls, and I have been adding new friends to my ever growing collection!<br />
<br />
First came the Bratz, I liked the fact that they were new and interesting, with great packaging, and lots of fantastic detailed clothes and accessories.<br />
<br />
They have "big heads" and lots of make-up, but they are lots of fun, even the Boyz are super cute!<br />
<br />

<br />
Following my recent visit to the the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green - East London I have been thinking about my dolls and dollhouses with pride and joy, I am not so cooko after all! <br />
<br />
And I am not ALONE!<br />
<br />
There are so many doll lovers out there, most have grey hair so this makes me feel better in my holy quest to accumulate as many cute dolls as possible ( I am at a stage where I hide them, everywhere, you may spot a leg here and there under my bed!).<br />
<br />
The garage is full, as well, so this is a problem I guess! Hum!<br />
<br />
My favorite doll is still the beloved Barbie, she was my First Love..... as a child I had just one that did not bend her legs ( I did try however, until she got broken, ups!) and very few clothes, so I was very frustrated ( maybe this early trauma has caused the recent need-urge to grab as many Barbies as I can.... you never recover from this! <br />
Thinking about it, I never heard of a Betty Ford "holiday" to cure doll addiction! I guess it is harmless.<br />
<br />
<br />

Problem...there are too many Barbies out there!!!<br />
<br />
But then the problem got bigger as I started to discover other new dolls!<br />
<br />
Sindy, for example, such a sweet face...how could one resist!?!<br />

And then I saw a picture of Blythe......and it was the end! Lucky for me Blythe dolls were manufactured in 1972 and were not too successful then so disappeared from the Market place! Now they are ever so popular but the originals are hard to find, not many out there and ...very expensive so I collect pictures and books about her instead !<br />

<br />
Last Sunday I went on an jolly expedition to the V & A Museum of Childhood in East London with my son! Yes ... a Toy Museum, my kind of place to enjoy and relax...well that is if I was alone, but I wasn't!<br />
<br />
I will explain:<br />
<br />
It should not have been such a special event but it was in fact a success as my 2 previous attempts had been...failures! <br />
<br />
I have to explain: my son in 7 years old and on the Autistic Spectrum, so in the past I have attempted to do all the kind of things you do with your children, but with him it was mostly a challenge as nothing went the way you would expect or wish for!<br />
<br />
So the first time we made it there he was maybe 4, by the time we got there on the Underground we were axhausted and all he wanted to do was run around and not look at a single display! Imagine my frustration with all the beautiful Doll houses...<br />
<br />
Second attempt, 5 years old, pretty much the same, except that the obsession for lifts was at its highest, so we just kept running after him up and down the 3 flloors (lucky it's only 3!) in the lifts.... Exhaustion!<br />
<br />
So you will understand my inner doubts about last Sunday, but I have to say that it wasn't too bad, I managed to view my beloved dollhouses (somehow together, ish) as well and grab a very nice lunch in the lovely restaurant!<br />
<br />
So I can really recommend the place, even with "not so easy" little customers!<br />
<br />
The vintage dollhouses are breathtaking, so have a look at some pictures to entice you to a visit!<br />
<br />

Today I "dressed" my new sewing machine with a pretty cover made out of Vintage Upcycled Barckloth fabric, a doily and old buttons!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just cut to size a large rectangle out of the fabric, folded each end and used the buttons to seal top and bottom corners.<br />
