"SUMMER SPACE," also known as "my happy place." It all started in 2012, when I moved to New York for the first time and experienced my first brutal cold below zero while staying in my aunt's attic in Woodside, Queens. ( Where are my 7 train ppl at?)
Also, I was born and raised in a tropical country. I assumed I'd built a mental space that reminded me of the warmth and what makes me happy. I had no idea that ‘that space’ had accompanied me to Manhattan and then Long Island. In this new home, I get to grow and share my joy in making beautiful paper flowers with you so you can enjoy and create them as well!
(May 2020 when I moved out of my UES apartment out to Long Island)
My studio is now located in my second bedroom, where I have a making, shipping, and computer station. (And yes, I was planning to use the space on my right side to take photos bc that's where the natural light comes it but boss cat gotta boss so 🤷🏻♀️). I'd love to have a bigger place someday, but this is a huge improvement over an attic, right?
Do you have something you've always wanted to do but never did?
