new york city and the fashion/garment distric

Lived around the metro area for over 20 years... time passed so fast since I started my new life in the states. I was in Flushing, queens... married... lived for a year in San Francisco... came back to NY to live in Brooklyn... later we found our new home in Parlin, NJ. It's about 30 minutes to downtown NYC.

My point in this post is not to tell you where I had lived for the last 20 years of my life... it's to tell you about NYC. It's a unique city like no other... of course it's New York City. I love design... and I think NYC has it all...in fashion, interior design, graphic design... If you are interested in fashion, please visit the garment fashion district booth, located at 37th and 7av. or visit the fashion center website: http://www.fashioncenter.com/ for more info. I am lucky to be exposed many fabric stores, design studios, professionals and get inspiration from different sources around, such as fashion events. I can spend couple days to visit all type of stores around the garment district. They are all different and carry their particular items that can't find other places... so it's good to shop around... including prices.

Disdressed blog has a good list of craft stores worth to visit. They are my favorite stores too. Check her blog in this link

March of the Tools

Image
I am joining Heather Bailey's March of the Tools . This sounds fun. There are many tools that make your life easier, but as a crafter and graphic designer. These are the two tools so far that I can't live without when doing crafting or design. E-xacto knife is an essential tool for creating mock-ups. I own this knife for 12+ years. My newest tool is the Ultra ShapeXpress. It's easy to use and it's very practical tool. Cuts any shapes in paper. Also, I read that cuts in fabrics? I have to see for myself. I have to try that yet. A new addition to March of the Tools. Still not too late!: A trimmer from Fiskars. Very useful, practical, sharp and a time saver. For heavy duty use, see cutters from Carl. Found here .

owls.. owls....owls... and flat cards.

These are the newest versions I made. They are my newest companions. It only take me 2-3 hours to create one, but with full time work and 2 boys... only late nights I can find some time to sit down and star cutting the many small triangles in different felt colors. Then... the rest is fun! A family :)...Yes! I am one of the winners for submitting these owls to a contest called "Calling all crafters" at martha stewart web site... www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/your-best-handmade-cre... More owls... more flat cards.... I can't get enough. See new items posted on my little shop.
