Honestly, the night before I had no clue in how to setup my booth nor was anything finalized, I just kinda know/pictured it in my head how it should look like with the pieces i had. Some may say that they don't like to do shows, and that they hate the loading up and loading out part, but you know what, if you have a helping hand, and go with the flow, everything was stress free. However I must say that the 2nd day of set up was a bit stressful, because number one we arrived 15 minutes before the show started , and I had a lot of little items to put out and does say in the contract that everything must but out and stored away when shows open!! ad i don't want to be in the bad books!!!! I must thank my amazing fiance who stayed, helped and put up with my B(&*(&(*^^ness :) well only at the beginning.<br />I definitely would do this again, but by the end of day 3, I must say, I was really tired, and was glad that it's only a 3 day show! anything longer I might have to hire some help to do shifts! that will be my next step :D.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_yP-uRGMMPY6_IZKk9eW02X5PeZawOJioz5lwf-VnICwmeiHyDQzcg_oliZw8qczFAaNmlNNu-lCmO1_LGdpDVw1Hb_XPGE6Ig7N9z5R-rs2wUYpaeXFZ_4sqqQrxjA-jsI-MW2zdZNw/s1600-h/DSC05855.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332718242041609842" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_yP-uRGMMPY6_IZKk9eW02X5PeZawOJioz5lwf-VnICwmeiHyDQzcg_oliZw8qczFAaNmlNNu-lCmO1_LGdpDVw1Hb_XPGE6Ig7N9z5R-rs2wUYpaeXFZ_4sqqQrxjA-jsI-MW2zdZNw/s200/DSC05855.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5aCqsKGnGgbJKUxhQ125RvwGPWNtL85Scznxbgyry5QVyUxisFU-af5b_Mc_GBk3DRQFoUCSP24kNQE3Me2caNrhZTAGiEdFCZhZdwVFp49HjpQuG2iOc5glCuFpvszLHQhTPT4-YeRQ/s1600-h/DSC05856.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332719381779952002" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5aCqsKGnGgbJKUxhQ125RvwGPWNtL85Scznxbgyry5QVyUxisFU-af5b_Mc_GBk3DRQFoUCSP24kNQE3Me2caNrhZTAGiEdFCZhZdwVFp49HjpQuG2iOc5glCuFpvszLHQhTPT4-YeRQ/s200/DSC05856.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTSfeZzEsAV1NlgUbKsVUyzX0OZhbWkfxzgr5mvZWF9NC6cLxlzlvGMojmbu2aFwqsuKvOLYi8umdFnmliSkBkQcbVBqDDGL96OzZTk-KYW1FgteqI72AoEDURzeE4WZTLsixDXu-InY/s1600-h/DSC05851.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332716578032949490" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTSfeZzEsAV1NlgUbKsVUyzX0OZhbWkfxzgr5mvZWF9NC6cLxlzlvGMojmbu2aFwqsuKvOLYi8umdFnmliSkBkQcbVBqDDGL96OzZTk-KYW1FgteqI72AoEDURzeE4WZTLsixDXu-InY/s200/DSC05851.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>lilcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000390360128452668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778219218914291688.post-14094676858319236122009-04-07T21:55:00.005-04:002009-04-07T22:14:59.756-04:00New House, New beginning<span style="font-size:85%;">So there's a few exciting things that had happen over 2 months.

Supper excited!!! just got this news last Sunday, and is loving it!!! It's very nice to wake up doing thing you love, highly recommend it :P Yes, a lot of people out there have some uncertainty or a fear of "oh no what will I do if Cupcake doesn't launch or that there's no income or no one likes what I do"... the thing is I don't waste my time worrying about these things, to worry is just a waste and I rather use that time to create, make and do it as a challenge. So bottom line people, don't waste time to worry!!!! </div><div align="left">On another note - Cupcake will be at the <a href="http://www.theclothingshow.com/">Toronto Clothing Show </a> on May 1,2,and 3rd.

Having one table is never enough for me :P so I trenched out to Ikea and bought a computer desk for $29.00 and a shelf for $70.00. (to zoom into the pictures just click on it). So below is 2 pictures, not one, I know it it looks deceiving (as if I could afford 2 sewing machine!!!) .<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizX6hCUFU0tUM5EzsQe1vH1LE7WlStXC_jNNqDxeKgrwf541_f4JmbHitnexv8PhG5JgLNTtl0VDPlhdlqDy4pnVfOjU3AXU-6Eyxfn9OF4IbYtQXA50v0JVwc3lzl6TQJ0BeMcpZRTz4/s1600-h/DSC05364.JPG"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299165567661128898" style="WIDTH: 273px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 195px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizX6hCUFU0tUM5EzsQe1vH1LE7WlStXC_jNNqDxeKgrwf541_f4JmbHitnexv8PhG5JgLNTtl0VDPlhdlqDy4pnVfOjU3AXU-6Eyxfn9OF4IbYtQXA50v0JVwc3lzl6TQJ0BeMcpZRTz4/s320/DSC05364.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjeqD4GWOPmTC5Ll-yQ0UK9WBoZbTplSphLWnYUi4h-5ukWEBIY3Fe-rEM6_XWbnNLMFUfh9lu47oE6xFtOGfsu9xy1wf6u0dKN8wH_MYQVYaa2qGZ6ERk58G1ScWNk2v8NtIxiYAvmw/s1600-h/DSC05363.JPG"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299165941731424178" style="WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 196px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjeqD4GWOPmTC5Ll-yQ0UK9WBoZbTplSphLWnYUi4h-5ukWEBIY3Fe-rEM6_XWbnNLMFUfh9lu47oE6xFtOGfsu9xy1wf6u0dKN8wH_MYQVYaa2qGZ6ERk58G1ScWNk2v8NtIxiYAvmw/s320/DSC05363.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><br />Okay, so picture to the left: you can see the $29.00 Computer desk from Ikea, that's where I do my Sewing. and the white table and chair is where I cut, craft and design my items.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Picture on the right: I've had my maniquine for a long time so that's not new to my study/sewing room. but the white shelf is new and as you can see it's filled with my fabrics! Ontop of the shelf: to the left you can see my mini light box. I call that my "Photo Studio". That's where I take my photos of my items. and at the other end of the self is my big jar of buttons!!! whoo hoo!!! you could never have enough buttons! So there you go, this is one of the huge changes/things I've been up to. </span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Now, items that I've been working on.... there are so many (view below)!!! I've found myself bouncing from paper project to fabric project or combine them both...and because of my first mini craft show... i'm starting to feel overwhlmed in producing items to sell not to mention I've recieved a custom order for my pouchette!!! But I think i have it under control... maybe check back with me a week before the show and we'll see how I am!. I know at the beginning there's a lot to do and prepare for the show, but I think the more you do and the more you put yourself out there, there will be a balance. that's what I believe.</span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnV10hBF_Hs-39dfKWt3iROLqknZ7NNrbOcdoVLr49ZU9NG3kgXhNzqOD7uzmk6RoeBEFK8wlWEao4tduCaNhdaxGokB15B7Qemn_0mZcXcdFAwjapvCBq8qOk-q8CkRNb23ndDJvCqA/s1600-h/marsh+brn+blu++angle2.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299169934473189538" style="WIDTH: 179px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnV10hBF_Hs-39dfKWt3iROLqknZ7NNrbOcdoVLr49ZU9NG3kgXhNzqOD7uzmk6RoeBEFK8wlWEao4tduCaNhdaxGokB15B7Qemn_0mZcXcdFAwjapvCBq8qOk-q8CkRNb23ndDJvCqA/s200/marsh+brn+blu++angle2.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdEwSgYhoRdu8mIoCK1GkaiqQSm1iOc0-lhLxQ0_DRZxujnarSW6z3DjcbAmwT6Dp6LR5_Vk8dH6qyOrtaFMcrawVrSFgipgpm5fYftHOnZMD2abHekqxKFe240HyXbDvzuyOkDPoovac/s1600-h/matchbook+gold+hash3.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299169722303101186" style="WIDTH: 193px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdEwSgYhoRdu8mIoCK1GkaiqQSm1iOc0-lhLxQ0_DRZxujnarSW6z3DjcbAmwT6Dp6LR5_Vk8dH6qyOrtaFMcrawVrSFgipgpm5fYftHOnZMD2abHekqxKFe240HyXbDvzuyOkDPoovac/s200/matchbook+gold+hash3.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjyekhMcON35wAwN3GuXiQ64TyFa2GCdeDCyjKwAly96_EaVcHoWMJeJV3gT_bNeQWo7RysDR38wKm5h5f6Tr8ThHCxc7tVEaXqtOAlVkqZcQ7Vs9lXTuGET3UtSg8ZPDJ6mHrlIYDUA/s1600-h/bb+booty+dove3.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299169373434936546" style="WIDTH: 202px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 154px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjyekhMcON35wAwN3GuXiQ64TyFa2GCdeDCyjKwAly96_EaVcHoWMJeJV3gT_bNeQWo7RysDR38wKm5h5f6Tr8ThHCxc7tVEaXqtOAlVkqZcQ7Vs9lXTuGET3UtSg8ZPDJ6mHrlIYDUA/s200/bb+booty+dove3.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAwBQ9GyxCvDHepF7QaboippPuA_ZB3P7tcnzUYOfaSm721JCZLf9Ol9hhFgoPqFx-M0WsC6uiDH9tSkkg-n2emdWbi96AgMWhy-qcNBFHvz_QbMdZyaMScSAZiTKjOL6TE7rHzt5ESw/s1600-h/mini+book+pale+teaL2.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299170586163101826" style="WIDTH: 203px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 154px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAwBQ9GyxCvDHepF7QaboippPuA_ZB3P7tcnzUYOfaSm721JCZLf9Ol9hhFgoPqFx-M0WsC6uiDH9tSkkg-n2emdWbi96AgMWhy-qcNBFHvz_QbMdZyaMScSAZiTKjOL6TE7rHzt5ESw/s200/mini+book+pale+teaL2.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuh6F_8r0n9Mhzb1nneZSIsouwvsqaCWWJXKR0XSc3dPRBQ6tqJQ9FEae0uMOXXdPMyBZR4348eQW9gV3TEQLgZ4n6XOMqrO2wFx0TxCB9smcbVrww2lscWDvqgLmqlG61t_Udciz8DD4/s1600-h/Wristlette+-+blk+wht+pld1.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299171267275734962" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 112px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuh6F_8r0n9Mhzb1nneZSIsouwvsqaCWWJXKR0XSc3dPRBQ6tqJQ9FEae0uMOXXdPMyBZR4348eQW9gV3TEQLgZ4n6XOMqrO2wFx0TxCB9smcbVrww2lscWDvqgLmqlG61t_Udciz8DD4/s200/Wristlette+-+blk+wht+pld1.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyNYE6QYE-GqLRLL0VFaILjgZ3Wg-qAjjkDMiHjlWP0bGDVNpyLvlJ1G0Yef6B9WHfwXHSSeRlEw2Pv7opMOl0JNk4aPvlTTKWT5YbAaHPRmlPX8NRjMux8B2CxBS82Hds9zyIvQOGUE/s1600-h/card+holder+sweets.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299169533324170210" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 113px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyNYE6QYE-GqLRLL0VFaILjgZ3Wg-qAjjkDMiHjlWP0bGDVNpyLvlJ1G0Yef6B9WHfwXHSSeRlEw2Pv7opMOl0JNk4aPvlTTKWT5YbAaHPRmlPX8NRjMux8B2CxBS82Hds9zyIvQOGUE/s200/card+holder+sweets.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>1.

For the year 2009, it's time for Cupcake to spread it's wings and venture out to events and craft shows. It's always a scary procedure for first timers like me . . . but it's good to know that I am not the only one out there that is worried about their products being <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">juried</span>. I went through many application and read through many requirements of what to submit and what to do . . . it does all sound scary, because of the what if factor, but as I always say, it doesn't hurt trying. You'll never know if you don't try. My aunt has been a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">veteran</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">of</span> craft shows for over 3 years now, and over the holidays we chatted a bit, so that I could get a good feel about these craft shows. She tells me that there are really 2 ways to approach this. If you want to start, you could start small.... maybe doing small trade shows, to see if your product will do good, to justify if you have a really good product on hand. That's what my aunt did for her product line, but she tells me that path was not the best way to go if you have a family and 3 children to take care of. For example, is it really worth it to spend $250 a day sitting at a booth and promo your product out at small fairs and not spend the day with your kids? so then she tells me, path number 2. you must BELIEVE in your product, if you go might as well go BIG! if you get turned <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">down</span> from events doesn't mean that your product sucks, it's usually either <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">because</span>, they have many of the same <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">items</span> entered.... and take the no as a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">challenge</span>, change it up a bit, tweek it, or just try again next year. Don't let a single no or the fear of applying stop you. There may be times where you do a show for more then 3 years and and 4 time around they could reject you, some reasons could be... change of people in the juries or maybe they are changing up their policy, you never know. So, don't be shy, just do it, get your products out there, what do you have to lose? it never hurt to try.</span></div>lilcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000390360128452668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778219218914291688.post-84033849600148523202008-12-15T00:48:00.009-05:002009-02-04T23:21:04.113-05:00I ♥ weekends :)<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong><span style="color:#339999;">O</span></strong>h how I heart weekends.. they are the highlight of my week, where I get to go shop for fabrics and sew sew sew!!!! So I've mostly hit all the fabricland locaiton in the GTA and have check out each locations and their sales, my fav location would be the one on Yonge and Steels. So far they have the most selection of fabrics and prints. Seeing that I have visited a lot of fabricland, I started to question....are there any other fabric store other then fabricland and the ones downtown??? so I googled " quilt store toronto" and load and behold... to my surprise there are quite a few, and alot of them have websites and online stores! ! ! Knowing this I dashed out of the house and went to my first ever quilt shop, the Sew-Sister Quilt Shop. let me tell you, I felt like a kid in a candy store, everytime I look at a print, ideas starts flooding into my head... there were so many different beautiful prints and selections!!! Also super well organized and clean!!! I spent a good hour in there going through all of their selections, from fat quarters to their japanese fabrics!!! Below is only a few selections I've picked out and will post future creations from it so keep checking back.</span></span><br /></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEdLTriSUDVfWCq6zF4ZMy7cpaltCfOpR_elx69E0hf7dEytuaIWX65LX9szTCa28RK6l2rEi0OiRSdWvIzbfGN3nLIQbeglvdlW7zlgBfT2jWkSHxzpK8QhiHkU3EpRdAUk_aqWfwdc/s1600-h/DSC05072.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279893297103841890" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEdLTriSUDVfWCq6zF4ZMy7cpaltCfOpR_elx69E0hf7dEytuaIWX65LX9szTCa28RK6l2rEi0OiRSdWvIzbfGN3nLIQbeglvdlW7zlgBfT2jWkSHxzpK8QhiHkU3EpRdAUk_aqWfwdc/s320/DSC05072.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLWExFmupZgNDHAVfw8BuG9844gDlX2NIs12QSwXpZ-r1R5-b9CVLaW5NIeDmbHPOFZENwEM3A3g6Cej-rKZNGbwvDHb42s76hYTb5GsuUGYbwcoHAkuxbyNFlsQs9EyADzNkxFFrsG2c/s1600-h/DSC05036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279893560425071746" style="WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 198px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLWExFmupZgNDHAVfw8BuG9844gDlX2NIs12QSwXpZ-r1R5-b9CVLaW5NIeDmbHPOFZENwEM3A3g6Cej-rKZNGbwvDHb42s76hYTb5GsuUGYbwcoHAkuxbyNFlsQs9EyADzNkxFFrsG2c/s320/DSC05036.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">This asian print was also bought at Sew-Sister Quilt shop, and have made a little pouch out of it. If you like it, check out my esty shop, it's listed under samples. link is on the left side of the blog. Not only did I have time to sew up a cute pouch but also had a bit of time to sew up an arm candy. I've embroidered the Cupcake crest earlier this week but didn't have time to start on it...I'm usually a type of person that once I start something/project, I must finish it on the same day/night... I don't like to go back to it from time to time to work on it. So I started this bag at 9pm had to cut out all the pattern ( 3 pcs shell, 3 pcs lining, and 3 piece heavy felt) and didn't finish till 12:30 am. It turned out great! super super adorable and coutureable!!! </span><br /></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXDjldcktMyZff_WbgbgX-RPIwlX_oNKONVpaw4pMmYYpKw4nI3AM1h9qpSHYaS1geiVuCR7tKOVePsMENcgZb8dWEsiqLKdKs4YBKS6hE3TzDiqLc95eREq_E4HsjvWwZdN6u_Q3yKM/s1600-h/DSC05070.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279896677920332706" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXDjldcktMyZff_WbgbgX-RPIwlX_oNKONVpaw4pMmYYpKw4nI3AM1h9qpSHYaS1geiVuCR7tKOVePsMENcgZb8dWEsiqLKdKs4YBKS6hE3TzDiqLc95eREq_E4HsjvWwZdN6u_Q3yKM/s320/DSC05070.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I kinda wanna keep this one to myself and not sell it :( the dilemma again!</span></div>lilcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000390360128452668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778219218914291688.post-16477452304473569372008-12-13T01:12:00.012-05:002008-12-15T01:19:09.786-05:00Cupc♥ke First Pouchette<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQZewUckINzW2WMXJvAb4_bJGtgtOCM_dGggh3-IKp1xuzEuO1fVVdLQsmyLbBE3QekB8iqBKk9riDZET5od91nj-7GSPyBnkAjIQ_XfBQUxDNgSKrDtcWJytQrMe6SrzBCunqF-O2uI/s1600-h/sugurplum+swatch.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279155312063401010" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQZewUckINzW2WMXJvAb4_bJGtgtOCM_dGggh3-IKp1xuzEuO1fVVdLQsmyLbBE3QekB8iqBKk9riDZET5od91nj-7GSPyBnkAjIQ_XfBQUxDNgSKrDtcWJytQrMe6SrzBCunqF-O2uI/s320/sugurplum+swatch.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">So I went through my collection of fabrics, ribbons and trims and picked out 3 items that may work as a little pouch.

If you work in the textile industry or even promotion industry, you know the sourcing and looking for a good deal/lead is the #1 thing in landing an order. If any one is looknig for a digitizer and is afraid to use offshore companies, let me tell you I never had a problem dealing with offshore digitizers. Now you ask, "So what is a digitizer/digitizing?" it's a practice where artist (digitizers) convert your artwork into a stitch file so that the computerized machice could read it and stitch out your artwork onto the clothing. ONce you have your logo digitize you could use your logo over and over again until you decide to use a different one. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRI4rF7nX4nRxN81I-mat6tcRVjgdm9shwtEq3P97i3NT8kqWp2kkrTOMOPs99xYA1Bf-vN18u7EEYhhNZ6hje26Aq264MwF0uoi1Sri4pwnzDS7jdQ_pGMVSqYJVppggY-8McXLmGjk/s1600-h/cupcake+emblong.jpg"></a>So i had 3 of my logos digitized and embroidered and honestly I must say it's a steal to have them digitized oversea!!! So you all, just give it a try, there are some that won't charge the 1st time digitize, so that you could have a peace of mind and not worry that it may come out bad. </span></p>lilcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000390360128452668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778219218914291688.post-69469394726163403422008-11-27T20:24:00.000-05:002008-11-28T08:49:13.829-05:001st Post<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1st Post</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">This blog spot will be a mini project amongst my many many other projects that I am doing. Why start a another project when you have so many? Well there's 2 reasons: 1. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">figure</span> by having a blog it will keep my friends and family up to date so that they don't feel disconnected. 2. The blog will also act and follow the progress of my other many projects. And eventually, in hopes that it'll all come together.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Lots of people tell me to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Youtube</span> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">FB</span> it but I love the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">old fashion</span> way... to type. it's like writing in your journal but in the 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> century.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">So, yes, projects, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">in order</span> for you to understand where I am coming from you need to know a few things about me.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1. I have a day job running a family business in the textile industry with my incredible <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">lil</span> brother. I usually work 10-11 hours a day M-F, so that really leave me no time to do what I love to do (to design, art, create, make ...etc) And I can not walk away. My family <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">business</span> is my #1 priority, it supports us all. So, what ever spare time I have I would try to invest into my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">lil</span> projects that I have going.... </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">2. I have 2 amazing, loving and adorable puppies, Hugo & Obi. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">3. I love to create and design. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">4. LOVE LOVE LOVE fashion!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">So buy the above list I figure why not, why don't I just start something I love or put everything I love in one .... and I decided to come out/create my own clothing line called "Cupcake" and a doggy clothing line called "Hugo & Obi". I have all the paperwork done, and have both my name/brand trademarked. But because of my day job I don't have time to go meet with people or research or anything. So after a year have past, i figure lets start a blog to keep/get me back on track. So here goes . . . . .</span> </div>lilcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000390360128452668noreply@blogger.com
