Turkish blue

Almost everything I bought in Istanbul was blue. My favourite colour.

PrettyUgly: baa! baa! blah! blah!

Turkish jewels

I forgot to share this with you - I bought these pieces in Istanbul. Such a lovely reminder of the wonderful time I had.

This and that

one - I love reading. two - Trish embroidered my jeans for summer, can't wait. Need to get the right sandals and colour nail polish. three - My birthday present, all the way from England. four - I have to take this picture every time I go. Love the light, shadow and patterns. five - I am crocheting up a storm. Love it. six - Asked someone for their heirlooms because I know I can make something fantastic with it. seven - My first attempt at embroidery. It's fun.

A great meal

One of the best meals I've had. So fresh and tasty. Delicious.

Hapi-nes-ek-is

Hapi-nes-ek-is means happy just the way I am.
I made this PrettyUgly for a colleague who is leaving for Cape Town. And while my sewing machine was out I make up the little girl as well. She had no name yet, and no home. Sigh!
