I am supposed to reveal 5 things that never revealed in my blog about myself. That leaves it pretty wide open.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/1600/953636/Hawaii%20.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/320/692928/Hawaii%20.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> But you knew I grew up in Hawaii?<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/1600/959997/Keiko%20in%20sweater.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/320/329015/Keiko%20in%20sweater.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Did you know I designed for a sweater company, Objects d'Art, for a long time? We made this sweater for Keiko her first winter in NYC - poor thing she was shivering. This was the first fitting. We needed to raise the centerfront neckline.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/1600/930719/scan.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5873/1449/320/409760/scan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I worked in imports for a long time in junior sportswear. "Back in the Day" we had our yarndye recolorations hand painted - CAD systems cost $40,000 and were not particularly intuitive to use. We also used to carry graded sets of hard paper patterns in our suitcases on overseas trips. I made more than 36 trips to India - I lost count. <br /><br />Hmmm, I will have to think of another couple of things to add. Right now, back to work. Check in later and see what else!Georgenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447847200057156134noreply@blogger.com1
