Some of my favorite places in New York City

Cafe Gitane is an awesome place to have lunch. It is located in Lolita at 242 Mott Street. I love on the menu the curry chicken sticks with the rice.

It is like a rainbow entering the store Purl in Soho. There are so many beautiful yarns; it is hard to choose from. On a rainy day, it is the perfect place to be if you like knitting or crochet of course. Purl Soho is located at 137 Sullivan Street. After shopping, I usually go for an apple cider at Once Upon a tart.

Once Upon a tart has delicious tarts, sandwiches and salads. A dream.

Let me know your impressions if you end up checking out those places.

Have a good day!:0)

What inspire me

I love the photo styling of Grace Coddington for the American Vogue because the photo shoots are whimsical and so beautiful. I love Pomeranian puppy; they are hilarious.

This is my favorite collection of all time, Miu Miu. I would dress to have this dress. It is so elegant and architectural; kind of a mix of 1920's with 1940's jazzed up of course.
This is the cape pattern I am currently working on. I look forward to the finish products. I choose purple and brown for the yarn. It should be interesting.

I love trees

Currently, I am working on an embroidery; it is called the tree of life. It will be a pillow for my mother; a Christmas gift.
The other day with a friend of mine, we went to visit the house and garden of Boscobel in Cold Spring. I have been totally fascinated by this tree. I love autumn foliage. Pure bliss.

COCO before Chanel movie and my new creation

Here are photographs of my latest creation. I am very happy the way it came out. It is Hawaii meets downtown Manhattan. I love the puffed flower clasp, very POP ART to me. Pop Art is my favorite art movement. The stone are fluorite. I love the transparency and the color.


I am looking forward to this movie about the life of COCO, Coco before Chanel played by the French actress Audrey Tatou. It is coming out tonight in New York City. If you happen to see the movie, feel free to leave a message with your comments and impressions on the movie and COCO. I wish a great weekend to all of you. Take care.

Reveries, new creation

For this necklace, I used two coral cabochon that I had at home (I got those from my father).
The centerpiece is from Crystallized Swarovski. The beads surrounding the coral cabochon are also from Swarovski. I am very happy the way it came out. This necklace is best worn with a v-neck sweater. It is a fun and happy necklace. I am in love with my new necklace.

I love hiking in Utah!!!



I love hiking in the mountains and see all those beautiful and colorful flowers.




My first time ever on a hot-air balloon. It is so peaceful up there.
We all woke up at 5 am to leave the apartment at 6:30am to be there at 7am. Totally worth it!!!
