Bryant Park 二三事

Fashion Show 才沒有過多久，Bryant Park 又熱鬧起來。上上個禮拜五下班經過Brant Park，人山人海，整個行人道擠得水泄不通，原來 Sex and the City 的電影正在 Brant Park Hotel 前取景。看到一輛黑色的轎車，還有 Carrie and Big。Carrie 身上穿著禮服，頭上卻帶著一個綠色的羽毛，大家都一直猜測她會部會在電影中和Big結婚，不過因為頭上那根羽毛, 我覺得這應該不會是她的結婚禮服吧。

紐約的天氣轉涼了，最近都在四五十度左右，每年冬天Citibank都會在Bryant Park做贊助活動。這個名為pond的活動，將公園中間的草坪改為滑冰場地，才開始沒幾天，已經有好多人在溜冰了。滑冰場旁邊則搭起小小的棚子賣巧克力等禮品。看到這些，突然覺得聖誕節的腳步近了，真的很快吧，一年又快要接近尾聲了呀……

Origami Box - Four Season

 

Here comes my creation during the weekend! I did a similar box when I was in high school and gave it to my grandma. She loves it. Just suddenly felt like doing it again, after 10 years.....This time I created four boxes. Each one of them represents a season - Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. I use Japanese origami paper. Each ball is folded by using 20 pieces of 2cm paper. Each ball is only 1.8 x 1.8 cm. The box is 7 x 7 cm. I love placing them all together on the table. They are so cute and delicate. I am going to fold more after my brother bring me my origami books from Taiwan!

Amigurumi Bear

 

 

 

Yay! Now I have three crochet animals! Dog, rabbit and bear! I love doing it so much that I think I am going to make a zoo eventually. The bear is bigger than rabbit and dog. I felt the body was too chubby initially but now I feel it is cute. I also like the red bag it carries. Attached on the purse is a red pin I got from Gap the other day (cause the color matches with his shirt). The pin costs only $1 and is going to charity. I feel so happy when I get home after work everyday and see them sitting there smiling. I am going to make animals for my mom to cheer her up!

鉤針娃娃 - 小兔子

 

 

 

完成小兔子了 小兔的頭真是試鉤了好幾次 才鉤到我想要的尺寸 我想應該是我的毛線太粗了 下次要買細一點的毛線 看起來才會比較細緻 現在的小兔高12公分 寬5公分 因為這隻小兔子是一邊看宮 野蠻王妃 一邊完成的 所以一定要讓她跟妃宮娘娘 (剛好是妃宮娘娘心情不好....) 照個像以做紀念 這隻小兔的造型是參考我很喜歡的網站 ehagote 做成的 很喜歡這個網站的動物設計 很簡單的造型 也只是很單純微笑的表情 可是不知道為什麼每個都這麼可愛 最棒的是還有很多很棒的小配件 像小圍巾 小帽子 還有小釦子 我覺得毛線娃娃真是適合冬天送人的禮物 如果收到一個帶著圍巾的小熊熊 或是小貓貓 應該心都會暖起來吧！

 

 

我的第一個鉤針娃娃

 

 

這是我的第一個鉤針娃娃！做完超有成就感！覺得他好可愛喔！我等不急要開始我的下一個project。這隻小狗狗是看哈囉！我是毛線娃娃這本書做出來的。裡面的圖簡單易懂。我喜歡小狗狗穿的橘藍相間毛衣。真不知道曼哈頓有哪裡有在賣便宜一點的毛線，我知道的Purl和knitting cafe都好貴。
