Just a reminder: Chicago is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I took this picture last August and just found it in my camera. It was taken from my balcony just before I moved out. I miss having a balcony.

Read about me and buy my stuff online

Just wanted to let everyone know about some cool new stuff going on with me.

First of all, there will be a small article about me in the Chicago Polish weekly 'Monitor', so those of you who can read it, you can check it out this Friday. It's a free paper. And hopefully there will be a longer article with color pictures of me and my hats in their monthly magazine.

Also, you can now purchase some of my designs online on www.indieshopper.com

Right now, it's just a few necklaces, but there will be a lot more very soon. The direct link to my stuff is: Indie Shopper: Shop Uszi Zefiryn

I would also like to thank everyone for their support and comments. I really appreciate it.

My Life Path Number (whatever that means)

Your Life Path Number is 11

Your purpose in life is to inspire others Your amazing energy draws people to you, and you give them great insight in return. You hold a great amount of power over others, without even trying. You have the makings of an inventor, artist, religious leader, or prophet. In love, you are sensitive and passionate. You connect with your partner on a very deep level. You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself. You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them. You have high expectations of yourself. But sometimes you set them too high and don't achieve anything.
