Fabricaholic

Cotton, cotton, poly/cotton, cotton, poly/cotton, poly/cotton, wool









I bought lots of fabrics in London, on Goldhawk Road. I've never seen so many fabric-shops at the same street before. And I've never bought so many dotted fabrics at the same time before.

Frills

Months ago I posted a sneak peek on a garment I was working on, and now I've finally finished and documented it. So here's the little top with the chiffon frill. I like that the buttons and the lining matches.

London again

More Portobello.


What a cute sister!


We managed to catch two typical-London-things in one photo
- the red bus and Picadilly Circus


Rokit vintage = <3


I'm awesome in my new mittens!


I love brightly coloured houses.

So happy together

London was great!

I will just show some random photos, there's no particular order.


Me, lost but happy, on our way to Portobello market.


We found it finally! I love Portobello market.


How cool isn't that wall? I want it in our apartment!


We found the sweetest little shop ever, somewhere near Oxford street.


Sisters in Hyde park.


A typical tourist-photo? Well, we were actually tourists!


Portobello market in my heart.

There will come more photos soon. I can't give you all at once ;) And I will also write more about what we did and what I bought (fabrics!!). My sister is hanging over my shoulder now stressing me, she also wants to write on her blog about london. So check out her blog soon as well!

So long!

So long

We're leaving for London tomorrow morning. It seems like the photo-upload isn't working here on the blog, so I guess I'll just say goodbye so long and then I will compensate with bunches of photos when I come back. You can always write something nice here while I'm away.

Kisses!

I want you do do do do I want you do do do do do do

The coolest necklace I've ever seen.



Lovely tube scarf



And the cutest mirror evah!

Santa, please?

Skinny genes

I recently discovered Eliza Doolittle. And I love her music, it's impossible not to get happy when you listen to it. Just watch the videos above!

So excited

Preparing for London... One week left!

London calling

(pic)

In 13 (13!!!!!) days, I'm going to london with my sister. We'll be there for a week and we need all the tips we can get from you who live there or have been there. What do you have to do or visit when you're in london? The only thing we have planned on is visiting as many markets as possible, shop fabrics on Goldhawk road and visit covent garden.

I wanna know all your favourite second-hand stores and flea markets, restaurants and coffeehouses and all the hidden secret parts of London!

I'm sooo excited about the trip, it's gonna be the first time for me travelling without my parents and I think it will be great!

I'm workin on...

... something yellow, something striped, something cute...

I've made an elephant bracelet and I've some exciting things going on ahead.

lot's of fun

There are a lot of fun stuff happening in my life right now.

• I'm in my third and last year of high school.
• Yesterday night I was at a fashion show where some of my friends were models. It was great!
  
• I'm planning and sketching on my first collection ever, one for spring / summer 2011. It's gonna be great. And it's so much fun!
  
• Monday next week I am going to a huge fabric store with my class to shop fabrics for the collection, ooh I can't wait!
• As a projekt work for school, me and two classmates will collect children clothes that people doesn't need. And then we're gonna hire a big car and go to a poor orphanage somewhere in another country and give all the clothes to them. Can't wait for that either, it's gonna be so interesting!

I was agog and happy before the show.

Why doesn't I get comments anymore?.. Did I lose all my (like five) readers when I didn't write for a while? It feels so empty without getting feedback ;)

Let's go to the circus!

I made this skirt for my sister from a fabric I bought second hand (as usual :)). I always think of a circus when I see it, so I call it the circus-skirt.

Now I'm gonna make some jewellery in front of the tv.

And, just that you know, from now on I will update the blog more often!

embroided friday

This is my new darling. An embroided piece of art.

It was only 80 SEK~ 8,5 EURO ~ 7 GBP! It's so cheap I almost was ashamed when I bought it. There must've been so much work embroidering the whole dress.

But I couldn't resist it.
