Trip to China - Hong Kong

After almost 20 hours fly and 2 lay overs, we finally arrived in Hong Kong. Our hotel room was very night and face the harbor.

Next day Mom, Ming Zhu and Bai Xuan came and joined us. We went to Peace Mountain and Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. We were planing to go walk half way and take the cable car to the mountain top. But we missed the turn and kept going up so many stairs and climbed 2/3 of the distance to the top. We worried about Mom and Ming Zhu's knee so we decided to walk down and find the right way to the cable car. Finally we found it. There are thousands of people in line to get on this car. Amazing. After all that we found a nice "Dim Sum" restaurant and had some really good food.

 After ate, we went to Madame Tussauds. It is a wax museum. I had lots of fun there.

We were waiting outside for the line getting shorter to take the cable car back. Bai Xuan's favorite game " The dark night".

 What a busy day, but good. Slept really well after such long walks.

TNNA 2014 Indianapolis Trade Show

What a great experience for me to join the TNNA and attend the 2014 trade show in Indianapolis. Thank you my dear friend Michele!

That was great 2 days to meet people who are experts on all kinds of fields, got to touch all the yarns, tools and beautiful garments. I was in heaven.

I also got a great big surprise. My design Sun dance dress was showing on the T- stage. I hadn't know that and hadn't read the program until I saw she was coming out with my dress. "THAT IS MINE!" Yes! that was the words I yelled after I saw it. I didn't prepare for that. Look how bad the picture I took. :( I hope I can get some better pics from somewhere else.

Here are some other beautiful designs. The pics that I took are all better than my own design.
