LIFE IS JUST THROWN AT YOU. YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE GOOD AND LET THE BAD GO. THIS IS JUST SOME OF MY GOOD.

BIG TURTLE

Image
This turtle was out in our front yard.  He was kind of big.  I think he must have came from the creek. He didn't stay very long, though.

So far so good.  Everything is growing or, more importantly, living.  The grass is coming in nicely after having it re-seeded.

HAND STAMPED CUTTING BOARD

Image

Image
While in Turkey we bought a natural handcrafted cutting board.  I hand stamped it with my PUMPKIN COBBLER  recipe that Ugur loves so much.  (It took me forever!)  Than I stained it.

MACHINE EMBROIDERY

Image
This is what I made Ugur for valentines day.  I used my sewing machine to embroider the message and than stitched the lines to make it look like notebook paper.  Reminiscence of a note kids would write to each other in school.

I can't seem to get colors right, not to mention, that I lost any creativity I may have once had. I am not going to give up until I produce something good.

MY CREATIVE SIDE

Image Image Image
By no means am I a great seamstress. I can't even do buttons or zippers. Maybe one day I will learn, though. I am more of a crafty sewer. These are just some of my projects I have made. They are simple but I am proud of them all the same.
