<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is always sad to leave behind something you spent so much time on and that so many people (thank-fully) appreciated, but it is time for me to say good-bye to Lace Knickers and to you, thank-you so much for reading my rambles. At the moment I'm toying with the idea of starting a new blog over at Word press as I love their platform so much more than Blogger so you may find me there sometime soon However for the time being I'm still on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/AudreyWilding" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79;">here</span></a> and Nuji <a href="http://www.nuji.com/audreymegan" style="color: #a64d79;" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I feel that I should explain my decision to leave, firstly after using Word press for my Fashion Studio blog I fell in love with the clean well designed layout and the community there, although Bloggers community is pretty great in it's self. Also Bloggers bloody blue bar at the top is just so ugly, it's always aggravated me. But.... Also this blog is very much who I used to be rather than who I am now, the post's became harder and harder to write as I lost intrest in what my blog was about and how it written. You must always stay true to you're original readers but I can't horrible but true. I'm still young and my ideas, opinions and beliefs are continuously changing as well as my interests. This is the best I can do. The blog will stay online until the world changes just incase when I'm older I want to highly embarrass myself and have a flick through. So once again thank you and ta-ta!</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">SO I have been so uber-busy with my fashion assignment's I've been neglecting you, but this will cheer you up. I have finally as promised picked my favorite uses of Avant Garde from <a href="http://www.gingkopress.com/" target="_blank">Ginko Press's</a> "I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">♥ Avant Garde". </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Avant Garde was originally designed by Herb Lubalin as a logo but later became a full typeface and thank-god it is definitely one of my top typefaces and I'm actually using it as new inspiration for my latest fashion studio project. The book is really </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">great and cover's a wide range of uses and is totally worth a look. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So university is back on again and I won't be able to update as much as I want, however for my fashion studio assignment we have to create a blog instead of a workbook based on the idea's that came out in our last project. However with this project we have to make our designs mid-market without dumbing down our aesthetics. My last project used a mixture of couture and natural hand dyeing methods combined with a desire to change the silhouette and play with creating unisex clothing using the typeface Bodoni to help do this. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So my blog for this will be daily updated as my work moves along and as we have to name our collection/ diffusion line I have chosen on the very simple and easy-to-come-up-with name of Typefair, thereby combining two of my passions into one word. The logo above took me way longer than I thought to create, I eventually decided to move away from Bodoni and onto Helvetica, extra light. So still a delicious font. SO if you decide you miss me (I will still try to update here, it's only for six weeks!) but you can alway's follow me <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://typefair.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">here</span></a> </span></span>on my new blog for uni.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have a big thing for type, and so although this series began in 2010 I thought I'd show you my favorite uses of font's in these books which are all exceptionally great. I borrowed them all form my university library <i>I ♥ Futura </i>is the first in the series, showing the classic typeface in use through many amazing projects by multiple designers. The book is deliciously designed and the projects chosen to be displayed are equally appetizing.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My new year's resolution was to be more creative and complete more personal projects over the up coming year, this is a project Jake and I both worked on just before uni started so I never quite had the time to compile all the photos and write about it. But I digress, When we moved into our new flat we did a lot of second hand shopping for furniture and we picked up this little gem of a dresser for about $60, it was all scratched with paint wearing and it was the perfect little fixer upper for us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Both of us enjoy mint chocolate ice-cream, biscuits, candy etc etc, also the combination of colours is just so perfect and so before we stated sanding and dismantling the dressing table we decided on the perfect colour combo.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fixing it up took about two weeks because we had to do it outside we had to wait for sunny days, we started with sanding all the paint off by hand and going through four rolls of sand paper. before buying paint and choosing how we would paint the drawers (we decided on mint drawers and a chocolate table. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The dresser came with gorgeous little handles that had been painted white in places so we just changed the white to mint and hopefully with time the paint will wear and have a cool vintage-y vibe.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because it was an old set of drawers and I scrubbed the insides with all sorts of house-y chemicals to rid them of whatever bacteria may have been lurking we brought some delicious vanilla flavored draw inserts so now our clothes always smell super yummy.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We're trying to create a vibe in our house that represents us and as we're students this vibe has to be portable and possible to move to another flat when we eventually move and being in a flatting situation and students it is impossible for us to make dramatic, expensive changes. I think that the drawers are a good start as they feel like us, possibly helped by the amount of work that we put into them. What do you think? Do you like our ice-cream colour scheme? (oooh that rhymed!)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first fashion/ pop culture magazine I ever brought was New Zealand's <i>pulp, </i>and I thought that it was the greatest magazine ever so in 2010 when I went in to buy issue 67 I found nothing, and the counter knew nothing it took me about six months to find out that the magazine had gone into liquidation see <a href="http://www.isaaclikes.com/2010/09/1524-pulp-magazines-publisher-in.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">here</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So you can only imagine my surprise when I walked into a magazine shop the other and found <i>pulp</i> on the stand, Slimmer, 5 cents more and a complete design overhaul and issue 67. So I had to buy it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The wording and trget audience is still pretty much the same and quite a few of the articles are good there's one interview with Sigur Ros' Jonsi and some cool stuff on indie films. For the most part it's a really good read not possibly as fashion focused as it used to be but that's possibly due to the new slimmer size. But it does have a goos focus on kiwi talent still. However I was a bit disappointed with the typical 'cutesy' fashion shoots that's are very much reminiscent of Frankie magazine (Which I also like, I just prefer Frankie to be the only Frankie).But I guess that with New Zealand's small audience targeting the biggest audience is best and I totally cannot blame them for that. I am very happy to see my teenage pop-culture magazine back and I think I will definitely be picking up the next issue.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sorry for being such a bad blogger recently but I've had so much to do between interning, holidaying up the north island and doing my exec work at uni I've felt a bit flat in terms of blogging creativity. Weirdly I may have more time even though I've now had to add classes to my schedule I think I'll be able to better manage my time, fingers crossed. Eeeee I've had only one class today called Drape for design, which for those who don't know is very basically designing clothing by draping the fabric over mannequins and not working with block patterns. But anyway my "Eeeeee" is that I'm so excited to be back as now we specialize in a subject ie. Fashion, graphic design etc which is much more exciting for me than say... Sculpture. See, boredom creating sculptures, I can assure you that there are many sculptures that I very much like but that is irrelevant</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I recently read an article on Yahoo, which reports
on a couple who after five year's have released the sex of their little boy.
The article say's gender but you'll see what I'm getting at soon enough. The
parent's, whom I understand to be a heterosexual couple, told the least amount
of people possible at their child's birth what his sex is. By doing this they
were trying to bring him up without all the gender stereotypes that have been
instilled in us since birth. Now before I go any further I would like to point
out that there is a difference between sex and gender. Sex is your body; your
penis, your vagina, your ovaries etc. Having a penis defines your sex as male
as your body is not equipped to bare children and vice-versa, sex is
unchangeable. And now I know you can change what someone looks like on the
outside but not on the inside, although please correct me if I wrong here.
Gender is changeable, I don't know how easily if it can be day to day or needs
serious time but then again that's possibly a very personal thing. Anyway
gender is who you see yourself as and is I believe who you should be described
as because quite frankly skin is skin and I'm more interested in you the
person, not you and your genitals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All right now I know exactly just how hypocritical
my next few sentences are going to be but bear with me. Piper Weiss, writer of
the article handled the report somewhat horribly, because in my somewhat
underserving opinion maybe, she writes articles reporting events that are
factual. Factual. Interesting word that. The term for factual is: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> 1. <span style="color: #043bb4;"> </span></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now Piper likes to write in a Woman's Day/ People
kind of way, i.e. She likes to warp the facts. Also the article is written in a
very biased way, going against the parents not even allowing really for a word
in edgeways. Throughout the article she refers to the parents as
"partner's". Now I know that word can be used for a heterosexual
couple or for a primary school lineup, but in the case of this article it is totally
and utterly the wrong word, I swear the amount of comments that accuse the
"lesbian" couple of spreading their "gay propaganda" is
astounding. Gay marriage is legal, get the fuck over it, people are gay, who
cares.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ok so we have now established that <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A. The parents are not trying to spread "Gay propaganda"
and <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">B. Gender is a personal decision and <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now these parent's wanted to let Sasha choose his
own gender and not be swayed by what he is taught to believe is masculine or
feminine. Weiss points out that this dual gender may cause bullying, Ok, yes I
can accept that aaand I can see how that would work, however I was bullied, my
boyfriend was bullied, my friends have been bullied, hell my tutors and even
you most likely will have been bullied. It's actually a rather horrible aspect
of normal human nature. She also feels the need to comment and say that "Sasha
may have less of a formed identity because of his upbringing, and feel angry at
his mom for dressing him in flowery shirts and telling the world about it"
and then flippantly say's "Or not" the tone is all very against the
idea and even though she’s hints at the possibility of that this could mean a
higher development of self she follows that with the former response. Hints?
Yeah right she slams the door shut on such possibilities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My hypocrisy of someone who has more experience
writing than me is obvious but then again I'm not writing a report I'm writing
my opinion. For me the idea is somewhat revolutionary, I believe that if
children were brought up in this way even just like Sasha and only until they
reached school and got to form opinions themselves, there'd be a whole lot less
'koodies' floating on boys and no one would care if you wanted to play dollies
with the girls instead of fighting. Gender is not specific and we are still
fighting to ensure this, however it's a bloody hard battle. The main degrees my
campus offers are art, nursing or business something that has made my
university something stupid like three quarters female or more. If everyone
stopped critiquing this little boy and his parents and I don't know took the
backseat once in a while and really looked and felt maybe there wouldn’t be
thousands of comments hating homosexuals and gender choices and we'd have more male artist's and nurses. This is my rant,
but I implore you to make your own decision, <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/couple-finally-reveals-childs-gender-five-years-birth-180300388.html;_ylc=X3oDMTdsOG0xbWcxBElfYWd1aWQDQlFZNUU3TkdDNTZMUUFSRDRJN1FEVE1JNkkESV9jZ3VpZAMESV9jcHJvcAMxMDEESV9sdHMDMTMyNzI5NjkwOARJX3VjbnR4AwRJX3VzcmMDd2lzdGVyaWEESV91c3VpZAN1Z2NfY29tbWVudF9hOGU5MTZiZS0yYWIxLTQzNjUtOGYyMy1lZjVmZjZiMzIxOGIESV91dHJucwNhcnRpY2xlY29tbWVudHNmYjEESV91dHlwZQNhcnRpY2xlY29tbWVudHMESV91dnJudAMxBF9TAzIwMjM0MzUyNjEEZXhwSUQDBHhmb3JtSUQD?fb_action_ids=2451034034435%2C309834552391229%2C2905016392236&amp;fb_action_types=news.reads&amp;fb_source=other_multiline&amp;code=AQCAbryt-o9olTKl3XvuAfVkeLcus5Bc4-l1wOJ_UEo78dKKk0FDMwPftgNCnI_d9r6GrjKzXpWErlHD2XnBlZS0Qn4f7bufLJ2-pECozwSMw_4kNBuuCqBpOG6zsmfqpS_DWY0iKqjtvDCFjMwwGMwyeLBXLxK891QVSU7rUPbEUskfJNbs8OAfUv3EZqBGIO3_d96mVxDizlXv1q5O7eOs?bcmt=1327296876093-a8e916be-2ab1-4365-8f23-ef5ff6b3218b"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">read the article</span></a> and really

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's not yet halfway through the week and it's already going so well, I found something new to display on my desk top. But the only problem is at at $696.00 on sale there's no way I can afford these sexy black Giuseppe Zanotti steel toe wedges from <a href="http://www.ssense.com/women/product/giuseppe_zanotti/steel_toe_wedge_boots/41805"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">SSENSE</span></a>, but at least I can see them everyday this way even if I can't buy them!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The next thing that has totally brightened up my week is my new nail varnish from Butter London in "Tea with the Queen", I got it after accidentally using my old left over black revlon polish from high-school which made me suddenly regret five years on the dark side, perhaps more than I already do. Ok kidding about that part, maybe. But anyway this stuff is so beautiful once it's on and it comes off super easy too, one wad of tissue for two hands! I already own one polish from Butter in a sparkly red and once you go Butter or now I've gone Butter I'm not going back.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keeping with my new years resolution of doing more crafty projects I decided to make these cute cards to send out to all our friends and family announcing our new address. They were super easy to make and can be used for almost anything. Here's a quick guide:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1) Cut your card in half then fold in half. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2) Measure the width of your card then cut your lace tape to this </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">measurement and apply to top of card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3) Apply your ice-cream applique to the front of your card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cute huh? Plus the homemade-ness is so much more personal than a hallmark.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger recently but I've been enjoying the holiday's and Jake and I are in the middle of moving into our new flat. However last night I found the time to make these pretty glitter shoes from <a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/01/how-to-make-glitter-shoes-.html" style="color: #a64d79;">Elsie</a>. I used a mixture of Purple, gold and silver glitter rather than the mix colour glitter she uses and they've worked out perfectly so I can imagine that I'll be wearing these a whole lot this summer!</span></div>

I really enjoy making stuff however I never seem to get around to making anything so this year I guess you could call it my new years resolution is to do more craft projects and art. All of which I promise to share with you, and maybe come up with some of my own DIY ideas to share with you.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These are my first four <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Polyvore</span></a> set's on my new account, I forgot just how addictive it can be. The last time I used it I was still in high school wasting time with my friend Jessie doing "Research" for sewing class. So after my afternoon of Polyvore addiction I've decided on a new "mini-column" which feature's on the side of my blog that will showcase my most recently made set's, however I will also upload them to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.285188954865775.80162.277604915624179&type=1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Facebook</span></a> and you can also see them on my <a href="http://audreymegan.polyvore.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Polyvore page</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This new little mini-column is also my way of trying to incorporate more fashion into Lace Knickers as it is my life's passion, without taking away my ability to continue writing a random array of articles. Oh and if you have your own Polyvore or are just starting one <a href="mailto:laceknickers@gmail.com"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">email me</span></a> the link? I'd be so interested to see your own style and take on presentation!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Like many female's I have a fantastic obsession with shoe's, more particularly high heels. my only problem is that I don't wear them half as much as I should, yet somehow I can alway's justify buying them, don't ask me how I just can. So before Christmas I found a bright turquoise pair that were the perfect fit and within my price range. Perfect! They would look so great with my... "Do you need another pair? How often do you think you're going to wear them?" Ahhhh my darling voice of reason, Jake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As much as I didn't want to admit it he was right and it was time to have a clear out, so coating my heart with steel I delved into my wardrobe and weeded out my heels collection halving it, cringe! Now with fewer heel's I could afford a new pair! However there was still the will you be confident enough to wear them all the time issue, and so like any good girl who need's to gain confidence in her heel's I decided that all day everyday I shall wear my heel's at home, while writing, reading, vacuuming and washing the dishes. However if this does slow down my desire to rush out and just buy them anyway we shall have to see.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tonight Jake and I are packing up a picnic basket, grabbing a blanket and making our way down to <a href="http://wotzon.com/eventlisting.php?event_id=5002969" style="color: #a64d79;">Carols By Candlelight</a>, part of the reason iI'm so excited for this is the six dollar picnic basket that we found at thrift store. My project today was to reline the inside because the original blue checked lining is quite stained, so here's my little tutorial on relining a picnic basket:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm reusing the foam padding and clear nylon to secure the fabric but if you want everything spic and span I suggest you get these also. You will also need a sewing machine with all the appropriate bits and bobs, or you can tediously hand stitch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step one:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Unpick the pre-exsisting lining on both sides of the basket, If your's is like mine then it'll be long strands of Nylon which are very easy to pull through. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 2: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remove and replace or just re-adjust the existing foam padding, If you are replacing measure the length and width of the base and sides separately and record before cutting. Do this on both baskets if you are planning to reline the top smaller basket also.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 3:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Using the needle and nylon sew the foam to the basket using big looping stitches inside where they'll be hidden and small discreet stiches to attach it to the basket as they'll be seen from the outside if there too large.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 4:</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Measure the length and width of the base and sides separately, recording the measurements for the material covering. Add two centimeters onto each side to allow for room. Once again for both baskets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 5:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">if your using lined, checkered or patterned fabrics before cutting try to ensure that everything will match up after it has been sewn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 6:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sew the fabric sides to the fabric base leaving a two centimeter gap between the stitching and the fabric edge. Iron the two centimeters left around the top down so that when the fabric is placed in the basket it is touching the basket and is not visible. This hidden part will be sewn with nylon to the basket just as the foam was, by sewing this and having is steam pressed with the iron it means that the nylon stitching will be hidden inside.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you get to a certain age I think you do perhaps get a little too old for the Christmas calendar, and I think at 19 I have possibly reached that age. However this did not stop the longing for a christmas treat countdown.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of the things I really look forward to each christmas is my mum's gift of three Ferrero Rocher's that she give me every christmas in my stocking when I was younger and no matter how much I begged I would never get a bigger packet, so this year Jake and I decided to create, well not really create but rather buy a box of 30 Ferrero Rocher's and each have one a day from the tenth as our official christmas countdown. The only thing that makes it hard is that the chocolate and hazelnut combo is absolutely delish and very more-ish unlike the cardboard chocolate used in traditional calendars!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you haven't already you'd better get on to sending out your Christmas cards too! I don't know of anyone that doesn't enjoy receiving mail especially around this time of the year sending out Christmas card's is a lot more personal than texting or Face-booking to send your seasons greetings and if you want to show the love even more why don't you make your own? Each year I mean to hand make my Christmas cards but every year I forget, terrible I know. However if your in the mood to cut, stick and get crafty <a href="http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/handmade-christmas-card-ideas.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">these</span></a> sweet little handmade card's with printable templates might give you some ideas, and If you get really into the handcrafted look this season <a href="http://scrapbookideas.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/stamped-gift-wrap-tutorial/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">this</span></a> is a tutorial on making your own gift wrap.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Christmas has got me feeling a little generous and a little grateful to all my readers so as it's christmas I thought I'd do a little giveaway to show my gratitude, so today when I was shopping for christmas presents inspired by my meeting with the Wax Warhol in New York I picked up this "I design Pop Art Badges" kit, I think it's quite cute and if not for you why don't you enter for your little brother or sister, cousin or best friend? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The idea of a Christmas advent activity each day is not exactly a new
idea, the first time I tried do it was when one year I was able to be home
everyday in December rather than off at boarding school. My little brother had
just turned five and to keep him entertained each day I planned a Christmas
activity with him, weather it be making reindeer out of pot's and storing Christmas
sweets in them or making giant chocolate Christmas trees as hard as I tried I
just wasn't able to pull it off for the whole 25 day's. So three year's later
when I found myself reading <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://galadarling.com/article/your-december-activity-guide"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">this</span></a> </span>article by Gala Darling I was convinced I'd
try again this year with Jake once we had moved into our new apartment. So
instead of the traditional twenty-four day countdown we had a nineteen-day
countdown starting last night after we had finished unpacking all our things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When were in New York we had gone to urban outfitters and picked up <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=80&startValue=1&selectedProductColor&sortby&id=21367990&parentid=A_HOLIDAY&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition%2C+product.marketingPriority&navCount=5&navAction=jump&color&pushId=A_HOLIDAY&popId=APARTMENT&prepushId&selectedProductSize"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">this tree</span></a>, it's also the tree at the top of this post. The design comes from the
Snoopy cartoon series and although it comes with a single red bauble we couldn’t
help but also get <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=22145213&color=035&navAction=jump&itemdescription=true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">this</span></a> </span>super cute Jeff Koons inspired metal balloon dog to hang
on our tree too. Because of the small amount of needles on this tree putting
our fairy lights on wasn't really an option so instead we have them slinking up
the wall behind and with the fairy lights on at night with all the other lights
off it's quite magical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were both really in the Christmas mood last night as it was freezing
outside with rain pelting down, somewhat reminiscent of my childhood in
England, which is also the reason I possibly still don't like having hot Christmas’s
it just feels wrong to not be wrapped up with the heating on. But nevertheless
we took advantage of this Christmas spirit and hung candy canes and baubles
around our wee flat, however with what we did later I don't see the candy canes
lasting long!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have you ever tried the peppermint hot chocolates Starbucks releases
each Christmas? Well if you haven’t they are super yummy and you definitely
should however it's in nine at night and pouring with rain And you don't live
in a city that's open late then you should try this it's really just as good if
not better because you can just keep making them. The cups are really huge so
we used two heaped teaspoons of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate with brown sugar and
added a candy cane to give it that delicious peppermint infused taste. Then
cuddle up in you jammie's and snuggle down to watch a good movie, ah bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Art, culture, shopping, sex and food New York was amazing and I do truly
miss it I can guarantee a return trip and I can only hope that it'll be sooner
rather than later. So many friends and acquaintances have asked me what my all-time
favorite part of NY was and at first so many thing's spring to mind, the view
from the Empire State, The duck that I guiltily ate at Niles Restaurant,
managing to find the perfect dress as well as getting snapped by one of my favorite
blogs. But in the end I think it has to be the famous, grand and dazzlingly
beautiful Central Park we spent a lot of time there walking through the orange
and yellow leaves, climbing rocky hills and watching the many dogs being
walked. It is such an amazing place very quite and serene in most places and so
different from the fast-paced surrounding city. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh and I almost forgot (and how could I!) while we were over there we managed to to see a friend who ten years ago had been a home stay student staying at my house, I was nine and she was seventeen and seeing her again was amazing something I could not have dreamed of happening. So next time we see each other will definitely be a lot sooner than ten years time.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Phew up to part
four, soon I'll be able to tell you about all the exciting things that have
been happening to be recently but I'll never forgive myself If I skip over New
York there was just so much that happened in the 19 days we were there and
tomorrow it'll have been a month since we left. So as a Fashion Student I was
soooo excited to be able to go to New York which I heard had excellent fashion
sense and I was looking forward to the shopping especially. But I had to say I
was somewhat disappointed in Manhattan especially, Don't get me wrong Barney's
and Chanel probably had wonderful clothes but I'm not really in the right
economic situation for that. I actually found most of my clothes in Brooklyn
and Soho, possibly not a surprise to New Yorker's but the myths that come out
of New York had me believing different. Majority of the fast-fashion store over
there like New Zealand sold... crap with the exception of Urban Outfitter's but
that could be debated whether they really are fast-fashion as they bring in
clothes from many different brands and so it's not them pumping out hundreds of
the same designs. However in Williamsburg in Brooklyn we found the best shop
ever it's called <a href="http://www.ingodwetrustnyc.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">In God We Trust</span></a> and all there clothing is made in America plus
everything is just soo nice and great quality. I got such a gorgeous dress from
there in black with a open back and mustard green silk for the collar and the
sleeves. No doubt it'll end up on a Sunday Best post soon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We also went to
the Doc Marten's store in Soho we I experienced possibly some of the best
customer service I've ever had. The first week we went there and I finally got
around to replacing my tired old pair of Chuck Taylor's with a pair of made in
England Vintage 1461's and this very cool guy who had mad hair served me and
then the next week we went back to the same store where Jake got a pair of made
in England burgundy 3989's which are actually pretty spectacular and anyway
this guy remembered me down to the pair of shoes I'd brought, impressed much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Soho is also home to the Taschen shop which
publishes many, many amazing books on art, fashion, photography, Design etc,
etc. And Yay! It was their 25th Anniversary which meant that they were having a
huge sale and I manage to pick up <a href="http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/fashion/all/44917/facts.100_contemporary_fashion_designers.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">100 Contemporary Fashion Designers</span></a> for a
mint and it is absolutely amazing although so far I haven’t had too much time
to actually sit down and read it because Jake and I are in the middle of moving
out of our current apartment and into a new one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh and I also forgot while we were in Soho on one of our many shopping and exploration trips both Jake and I were spotted by Fashionista and put up on their website Jake's is <a href="http://fashionista.com/2011/11/street-style-jake-would-like-to-visit-the-statue-of-liberty/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">here</span></a> and mine's <a href="http://fashionista.com/2011/11/street-style-audrey-thinks-you-should-dress-like-youve-always-got-somewhere-to-go/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">here</span></a>!</span></div>
