Christmassing - Harrods Christmas Display 2012

Good morning everyone!
I told you I would send some updates :) A friend of mine visited from Dublin the other day and when I wanted to show him Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, it was so full that we had to wait for 20 mins and still didnt get in! Just look at this crowd, the tiny blue sign with the light is the entrance, that was miles away! Well, figuratively speaking of course...

So we gave up and I showed him the Harrods Christmas display instead. It was gorgeous as always!
Harrods' display was Disney Magic or something this year, and they had all the princesses shown in their finery... Here is Snow White...

They even had this Magic Mirror which was amazing.. kind of a hologram thingy?

This was Tiana from the Princess and the Frog. The frog was in another window and I did have a picture but it's not great... this dress is lovely though :)

Cinderella's shoe was also shown, this is one of my favourite displays :) A Cinderella dress was nearby but the window was blocked by anti-fur protesters so I couldn't get to it.

Mulan...

Pocahontas...

The Little Mermaid...

Aladdin... This display was huge and crossed two windows. As it was dark already this was the best I could do with all the reflections going on...

This was just one of the smaller windows but I found it fascinating....

The rose from Beauty and the Beast... Love this!

Belle was shown as well :)

Rapunzel, her hair went all through the display window, it was great!

My absolute favourite display: Sleeping Beauty. Her dress was huge but I just love this picture so I had to share this. You can see the start of the dress here, I'm sure you can imagine the rest ;)

As the Disney display ended, another set of windows showed handbags with balloons. I thought it was very Mary Poppins :)

I loved this year's display :) If you want to see more of it, just click here for a link with more (and probably better) pictures. The article also shows the designs and inspirations and is very interesting. I hope you liked this display as much as I did!! Big hugz from London!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
