		<title>Integrating stitching&#8230;I dig</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
_
Sewing at first, was very frustrating to say the least. Forgetting to put the &#8216;foot&#8217; down, then realizing after you&#8217;ve sewn a long line your f*ucked. BUT, practice, practice, f*ck up, practice&#8230;and you&#8217;ve begun to master an awesome tool. I have been experimenting with my sewing machine&#8217;s settings, different stitch patterns, lengths etc. I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer&#8217;s best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

_
Just bought these kicks today as my new primary summer shoes (great w/o socks). I&#8217;m really diggin&#8217; their canvas texture and the stylistic black label on the heel (I&#8217;m a sucker for cool logo tags, not to mention they are also ON SALE!).
This will be my second pair of Sperry Top-Siders and even though I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nike &amp; BKNY collabo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[




_
Well, I decided to get crafty with an old raggety Nike t-shirt, a soft blank t-tshirt, a sewing machine and a couple of labels. I have a couple of un-wearable t-shirts I want to try and creatively reclaim, Mr. Nike was first up on the chopping block. My sewing isn&#8217;t perfect, but it was fun [...]]]></description>

As you can see from above, BKNY&#8217;s new scissors design is hand-printed by me at FLEAHEART&#8217;s studio. I can safely say I didn&#8217;t blow anything up or mess up any blanks, all-in-all a good first print run.
Also, (only fair) I made sure to print on a blank that I know the [...]]]></description>

Well, it finally happened. With the iconic Mac mail &#8216;ding&#8217;, BKNY received its first order! Pictures above are of my  poster prep for mailing. Hadn&#8217;t really thought about mailing labels, but I quickly threw one together, a little ink-jet hand stamp combo. They look great on the kraft tubes.
I have a feeling the word [...]]]></description>

Yesterday at my &#8216;internship&#8217;, the guys at Fleaheart let me jump on the 4-color and print some tees. I&#8217;ve printed before, but am still a beginner in terms of experience. I did pretty well (I only messed up one shirt&#8230;;). Eventually (what I&#8217;m interning for), I will be able to print my own [...]]]></description>

A big thanks goes out to my good buddy Erica for letting me borrow her Singer sewing machine. From the photos above you can see that things at BKNY are starting to come together. It started with sewing my labels on my pillow cases (ugh, that was a learning experience), but now I am sewing [...]]]></description>

Above is a picture I snapped of Miso at Transmitter Park the other day. My new (refurbished) Canon EOS Rebel XS has become a permanent fixture hanging from my neck. I have been taking it everywhere I go trying to familiarize myself with its settings etc. Having a nice digital camera is totally worth it. [...]]]></description>

Woke up this morning to a really exciting email from Threadless about my competition design winner, Pirate Infested Waters. At first I thought it was about re-printing my design (something I had been hoping for for the longest time because of the monetary reward), but this email was even better. Threadless is now partnering with [...]]]></description>
