The Real Deal ...

So, it's been some time that I've seen my friend Ursula ( http://www.modaspia.com/ ), who is an amazing clothing designer, amazing. She has always been inspiring and such an encouragement in this industry, and we had a very brief period in our lives where we lived down the street from eachother, I so regret not spending more time with her!

Well, she came over one time in my messy studio/shop, which by the way I miss with all of my heart, it was this great little studio/in-law unit built in the 1940's for four boys to live in as the front house was too small to fit them, and she picked up my "then" scissors(the "small" gingher, silver, sheers on the left) and said, "you're still cutting with these little scissors? I use them to cut Marcello's (her little son) hair!" I finally got the real deal, the big daddy, seamstress style ones, so much more efficient! I can't even work with the "little ones" anymore unless it's for detail work, something very small, requiring lots of hand manipulation.

So here's to Ursula always keeping me a step ahead!
