2007-11-05 19:29 MAC Originals
MAC håller oss på tårna även i juletider och släpper en boxing day collection under namnet Originals. Boxing Day är annandagen, men som tur är för oss här i Sverige släpps inte kollektionen internationellt förens under januari. Kanske är man på mer stadd kassa då än vad man kommer att vara på annandagen Originals innehåller flera gamla MAC-godingar och kultklassiker, som många har längtat och trånat efter sedan de sist var på marknaden, däribland skuggan Parrot. Läppstift Utter Pervette Soft pas …

2007-10-16 18:49 Exhibition
Last weekend our local patchwork group held an exhibition. We have had them before, but either on a small scale, or as part of another event. This time we decided to go it alone. As anyone who has ever organised anything will agree, it's a lot of work. Apart from the extra planning meetings, there's the booking of halls and quilt stands, publicity, delivering of flyers and posters, baking of cakes, writing of labels and lists, collection of quilts and sales table items, not to mention the sewing …

2007-08-22 22:36 Books # 39, 40 and 41
Glossed and Found by India Ink This is the third in the pseydonymous "Bath and Body" series by Yasmine Galenorn, author of the "Chintz 'n China" mysteries and some more witchy titles. I'll be honest -- these books aren't great, but they're okay. I was going to say they're pretty light, but when talking about mysteries that usually means they don't include a lot of violence; this one actually does. I suppose the better description would be that they're not particularly plot heavy. There aren't to …

Bounty Hunter Cinnamon (a name taken to confuse bail jumpers) breaks into the Imus apartment on Central Park West. Let's listen in to her thoughts. "Empty. Not even a maid, a cook or a butler. Hm-m-m." "No servants and no taste!" [sigh] "Maybe this is a mistake. Could it be Barbie and Ken's duplex" [checks Blackberry in holster] "No, this is the Imus residence, Pepper gave me the address."

SUITE SEVENTEEN - Portia Da Costa Acting purely on instinct, I coil my arms around him. I can't believe this is happening and I can't believe what I'm doing. This new, different, impatient me takes the initiative and presses her tongue against his lips, demanding entrance. He laughs, the sound deep and rough in his chest, and he admits me. Then a second later, it's like he throws a switch and he takes total control. When vibrant, forty-something widow Annie Conroy espies her new neighbours Maria …

DAHLINGS - This entry is a bit of a departure for moi. For one thing I am typing it myself. But I have a manicure appointment in an hour, so I am happy to sacrifice my nails in the service of you, mes chers lecteurs. I was browsing the Web late the other night, Bucky the Wonderdog curled in my lap, Frank Sinatra's "Only The Lonely" on Itunes. ( Really, dahlings, his rendition of "One For My Baby"-- guaranteed to smear the mascara of the most hardened fashion maven!) I came upon a site called Ele …

2007-08-12 08:42 Sugar and spice, and all that's nice, that's what little girls are made of
I'm sheepish to admit, but I get way too pysched about baking for little girls - you can't exactly festoon a locomotive or football field shaped confection with sugarpaste roses or tint it pink. What a treat, then, it was when some of my favourite people in the world celebrated the birthdays of their little princesses the week just past, relishing the excuse to indulge in fashioning flora and fauna figurines in an ultra-girly pastel palette for topping the fondant fancies. As is evident, I have …

2007-08-11 20:11 John Betjeman goes to Hunstanton
This British Transport Film from the 1960s enlivened by John Betjeman takes a trip from King's Lynn through the wide, flat fields of Norfolk to Hunstanton and the sea. It sums up a quality of insight and commentary on towns and countryside which has all but disappeared. Betjeman's holistic approach blends history, poetry and design with people's lives and the towns and countryside in which they live and work. It's a refreshing and engaging approach which contrast sharply with the single issue li …

Our current plan is to peel out at apx. 8 tomorrow morning which, I'm not trying to pick or anything...but in my family, with Grandma Alice at the helm, it's about 2 hours to late from the getgo. But...I imagine we will still survive. We are a ragtag caravan: my Chevy (read: shitty) Cobalt; Owen's love of his life, the Nissan (I swear he will be buried in that car when he dies, so they can be together forever in the afterlife); and Tom and Cathy's zippy little blue Mazda. I don't know if I will …

So as I mentioned in my previous post, I've become [stay with me here] obsessed with cottages. I can't believe that this is ME saying this. Let me clarify this statement of shock at my own bloodlust for cottage-y goodness by saying that my home decorating style has always been a weird mix of 50's modern, 30's art deco, hand-made ethnic, and a little bit of yard sale kitsch thrown in. The one thing that my decorating style has NEVER included was anything remotely resembling chippy paint or French …

I think it's important for creative types, especially those who work on their own as independent artists, to continue pushing the envelope and design from the heart, let go of fears, not design based solely on what will sell or according to what trend setters forecast to be the next big thing, but show your true colors and what you stand for in your work. Isn't that what indie artists set out to do in the first place, rebel a little and have ultimate creative freedom And while I'm completely ope …

Oh, I can't wait to see what search engine queries wash people up on this particular shore. I really should can it with the cutesy wordmaking, I guess. (sigh) This is the last of the three memes with which I was tagged in the space of about ten days, and it's a doozy! It comes to me from the lovely and talented Goldfish, who claims that it is not her fault, that it just grew spontaneously out of another meme she only just barely touched -- honest! -- while passing it on to someone else.

My wife and I will be queuing with our daughters (8 and almost 10) at our local bookshop tomorrow night to pick up our copy of Deathly Hallows at midnight. I am the designated reader for this volume as my older daughter is only just starting Book 6 and the younger is having Book 1 read to her. As it stands, my instructions are as follows: "You're to tell us what is happening every half an hour daddy, unless someone dies, in which case you're to tell us immediately."

Ahhhh....the life of a traveling worker bee. I have always considered myself very blessed to have a job that allows me experience the beauty of the Grand Canyon State up close. Eating out for breakfast, lunch ,and dinner, rental cars, sleeping in hotel rooms....sounds very glamorous The consequences of which, at least last week, led to a marathon style yucky-ness fest when I finally came home Friday afternoon. Yes, I am talking about food poisoning. And thus I spent most of my weekend hoping to …

On Saturday I finally got to visit Kew Gardens again. I say finally because I really wanted to go last year but never had the time, and two years ago when I first went seems, a long time ago now. I love Kew, it's one of those places where I can feel my heart rate slow as I walk through the gates. (What is that about me and greenery) Suddenly all is calm, the only distraction is the multitude of planes that fly over. I don't remember there being that many - but last time I went mid-week when perh …

If it is summer, I daydream about rainy fall weekends and painting and using a glue gun till my house smells like a bindery. In reality, all seasons should be the season for work, for passionate work, for blis …

Dear Brits, I know this is rather brazen after blatantly thumbing my nose at some of your celebrities, however I am in a desperate situation. I've run out of Summer Pudding Tea. There was a cluttered, chintz-clad tearoom that once supplied me this addictive substance; but I am now 3,000 miles from them, and they have informed me since my call to ask if they would mail-order it for me, that this tea has been discontinued in the United States. It seems Whittard of Chelsea likes to torture poor uns …

I found this new tea cup and saucer at the weekend.

Hi everyone!! Today I bring you a corset for those romantic summer dinner dates with your sweetiepie! It is the very first time I have ever worked with quilting cotton, and I am now hooked! This corset, like all others, is constructed with the outer fabric and 2 inner layers of fine german coutil. Normally I line all my corsets with bio-cotton sateen, but my giant roll has run out. So I used this opportunity to line the corset in a rose-colored cotton chintz, which I embellished with antique-sty …
