Highlight of the year

Looking back, this past year in Uk has been especially challenging for me: moving in a new country, learning English, getting used to new habit and finding a job. There were times when I wondered if the effort was worth this, but the answer was and is always one, YES YES YES.
Now it's time to move (again) and the 2013 will start with a new house, a new sewing machine (loooooove!), a new city...and a new job as well! You know, the end of December is the perfect time of the year to reflect on the the memories and laughter of 2012.
Here you are what I had:

I wish you a great 2013 ^__^

Hey Moomin

I hope that everybody knows the most famous characters of the finnish writer Tove Jansson: the Moomin.
The cute Moomin is a friendly troll but he looks like a white hippopotamus. I simply love this character and the magic place where his family lives, to be more precise I'm talking about the Moominvalley.
The last time I went in London I popped up at the Moomin official shop set at Covent Garden and I found a lot of amazing objects like book, mugs, pottery and handbags.
P.s. My favorite Moomin is Little My (Lilla My) because when she wants something done she does it straight way  ;)

Spero che tutti conoscano i famosissimi personaggi inventati dalla scrittrice finlandese Tove Jansson negli anni Settanta e ora tornati di moda: i Moomin.

I Moomin sono dei teneri troll che però assomigliano a degli ippopotami bianchi e io adoro loro e il delizioso luogo incantato in cui vivono, ovvero la Moomin Valley.

L'ultima volta che sono stata a Londra ho ispezionato da cima a fondo il loro negozio di Covent Garden e mi sono innamorata delle loro tazze, libri, borse e ceramiche varie.

Il mio personaggio preferito della saga è sicuramente la smorfiosetta Little My con le sue battute acidine e la sua caparbietà.

London: Natural History Museum and Chinese New Year

We spent a lovely day in London last sunday. First we visited the Natural History Museum: it was my first time there and I was really excited to meet dinosaurs and all the animals from the smallest invertebrate to the giant blue whale. 

Then we went into Chinatown where we find the Chinese New Year of the Dragon's parade. It was really nice admire the Lion Dances pass through the streets to bring good luck to the households and shops they visited. I love the lamps and decoration of London’s West End. 

Definately I spent a nice sunday!

Summa della settimana: sciarpe gatto

Questa settimana mi sono dedicata alla creazione delle sciarpe gatto.
Il salotto di casa è stato invaso da orecchie e zampine di stoffa.

Al momento nel negozio online ho disponibile solo sciarpe in versione BLACK KITTY

Sono già SOLD OUT le versioni LILAC


e TARTAN.


Per quanto riguarda le borse mi sono lasciata ispirare dal Nord Europa
HOLLOWAY è una tracolla che trova affinità con il ritmo fast&chic londinese.


ERINNA nasce dalla brezza solitaria dei fiordi norvegesi.
Che poesia!
