Christmas requires some forward planning. Getting excited about Christmas can start at really any point in the year, but filming Christmas commercials happens as early as July.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily there are specialty prop houses, and the odd 99 cent store which will indulge in a little premature decor stocking.<br />
This is how christmas looked in September<br />

One of my favourite museums contains one of my favourite spaces of all time - the cafe at the V&A.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The atmosphere in this main room is one of an exciting past, willingly existing in a carefully modernised present.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Morris, Gamble and Poynter rooms, were intended as a "showpiece of modern design, craftsmanship and manufacturing".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The food is pretty good too - so this is a hard place to leave.</div>

I am visiting home, and just saw the 'Power of Making' exhibition at the Victoria and Albert with my lovely friend Chrisitiane who was visiting from Germany.<br />
We had an adventurous day in town planned, but once we were in the V&A we couldn't leave! In my opinion, it is the best museum in London chronicling important aspects of the decorative arts.<br />
<br />
This particular exhibition displays some wonderfully crafted items, including spray on clothing, wild Ghanaian coffins, intricately carved furniture, a giant length of knitting, a diamond encrusted bike and 3D plastic printers.<br />
Unfortunately, photography is not permitted inside the exhibition, but this guy made of wire coat hangers is on the peripheries and demanded having his picture taken<br />
Well worth a visit.<br />

A few months ago I worked with the lovely people at <a href="http://metropolisbikes.com/">Metropolis bikes</a> on Lankershim in North Hollywood, on creating a custom painted <a href="http://www.pedegoelectricbikes.com/">Pedego</a> bike. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The structure of the bike is a beautiful mint green and white, and the aim was to create a feminine, flowing unique pattern across the fenders, steering column and chain guard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Metropolis is not your regular bike shop. It is bursting with colourful art, hand crafted goods and inspired people!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other collaborators include <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blondie-Kustom/213526688689065?sk=wall">Blondie Kustom</a>, who creates immaculate, detailed pin striping work, and <a href="http://www.ngenemwaura.com/">Ngene</a> whose layered and energetic painting style also wraps itself around a bike or two.</div>

Mary Blair started work as a concept artist at Disney in
1940. She also worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, creating
advertising for several large companies such as Nabisco, Maxwell House and Pepsodent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her undeniable style, naivety of shapes,freedom of lines and
composition, culminates in some of the happiest looking character environments... to me it is the identity of Disney’s early style. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few weeks ago we visited Disneyland California with my
sisters (which implies we went with someone below the age of 16 and therefore seems acceptable). Our timing was perfect as the park were exhibiting some of Mary's paintings and drawings. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s a small world” is her most well known input at the
park, and although recently remodeled, they have stayed true to her intricate colourful 50’s aesthetic.</div>

My last job took me on a shopping adventure to little India,
Olvera street and little Tokyo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
had visited the first two before, but this was the first time in little Tokyo.
Outside the stores were several wish trees. Anyone and everyone had written
their wish on a scrap of paper – some on the back of their receipts and attached
them to the ever growing trees. This was by far my favourite!</div>

But I have to say I love it! Due to the labeling of cellphones as carcinogenic by the world health organisation recently, this is a rather attractive response - a stylish - not so pocket friendly way to protect oneself from nasty microwaves. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Last week while I was at home, we visited Charleston house in Firle, Sussex (between Brighton and Eastbourne). The house was the home and creative grounds of the Bloomsbury Group and their many now famous, literary friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Vanessa Bell and Duncan grant were at the helm of the household. They were joined by friends Maynard Keynes, Clive Bell, Vanessa's sister Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, Lytton Strachey, TS Eliot and EM Forster.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our guide Patsy was so knowledgeable about the history of the house and its inhabitants and had such detailed insights into their lifestyle, that I felt like we were taking a sneak peak while the artists were out for the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
