Amazing people

Yesterday my day brighten up in the evening :-)
After a quick chiropractic session in Gracia, I met one of the most Amazing Person I have ever met in Barcelona so far; I met Rubina Ansari. A wonderful indian lady who has started importing ecologically made and dyed exquisite cotton fabric from India.
I am so happy I met her and surely hope we could colaborate to put live my project.
If you are interested in knowing a bit more about Rubina and what she does, please visit www.thecaringcotton.com.

Brainstorming session

Oh dear !! It is already May and still no business near to be launched...

I know I keep on saying the same thing: I am working on a Business Plan.
To be honest I am having a very long thought about the name I would like to give to my Company.

Many says that I should just use my name and that it would be fine. But for me, this is not so easy, when you consider the designers out there, that have lost the right to use their own names because it has become a brand and it has been sold to some rich investors when it all went wrong.
Can you imagine yourself, seeing your name tagged on clothes, adverts and other stuffs but you have not taking part in the design of these stuffs? Someone else can decide to put your name on a product and sell it and you get nothing? How would you feel?

Not so easy...

So I feel stuck and this cannot carry on. I can't finish polishing my business plan if I don't have a name.

I need your help, urgently. I need a brainstorming session.
Please suggest your ideas in the comment section.

After all you might have the solution.

The beast is out :-D

OOOOh la la !!
What a pleasure to work with this piece of engineering.
Robust, precise and efficient !!!
Yes, I am talking about my new Juki TL98 P (also called TL 98Q overseas).

Why did I wait so long to get myself one ??
Oh yes, the budget was not there. Because it cost me almost one month salary to get it but to be fair, I am so happy I have purchased it. It is so fast and so practical: there is an automatic thread cutter in the pedal foot thingy and a knee lever for the foot of the machine to lift up without you to need to use your hand.
Also the sewing points are so even and precise, just perfect for the professional look I am looking for.

I know she ( yes a "she") will last me for years as she is made of cast iron and not of plastic like most domestic machines.

She is my hero today. :-D

Is it too late for Happy New Year ??!!

Alright, there have been quite some time since my last post. 

I am really sorry about that. I am not doing so well in writing as regularly as I should....I know, I know, but yeah guys we are in 2014. It is a new year, and yesterday it was the Chinese New Year.

So people before everything else, HAPPY NEW YEAR and KUNG HEI FAT CHOI !!! (hope I spell it right).

How was your end of year?
Mine was quite intense. I will try to be quick in summarising it. ;-)
As I said in my last post, I did not see Christmas coming. I had to rush to get my presents for my family, then worked like crazy for a few months and even on the last day I managed to work for 17 hours straight up in the morning until I flew back to France...I fell that I was just running everywhere try to get things done, trying to catch time. So with that, I have not really done anything about my projects unfortunately. :-(
But as this is a new year, new start, new beginning, new opportunities should come with it. Isn't it?

And I believe it is true. Right back after the Christmas break, I took on a great project: A friend asked me to design and made her a costume for a corporate party which the theme was "circus".




With her idea and my crazy touch both mixed up, a pretty nice costume was made.

People really liked the result and shared their compliments.

Final Result






What do you think? Do you like it?
It was all very exciting for me. This experience helped reassuring myself on what I really want to do, and what I am able to do.

Also, it seems that I have made quite an impression with this project as I have been approached for another challenging one. A big one, which I should not say anything about for the moment. I hope to be able to share more with you in my next post. But for now, ssssshhhhhhuuuuut!!

Anyway until then, I have far more to do, now that the fun part seems to be back on track, I need to get on with the boring part: Finance and Legal...Ufffff !!! Yeah me!!! I am not going to have fun in the next months. But that is the deal; no business if no sweat and tears.
I'll keep you posted.
