A BEAUTY FROM ETSY: NEEDLE FELTED DOLL / MUM-TO-BE

I discovered and bought this beauty in a little Etsy shop: stitchcreations! Monica is a talented artist, a very friendly seller and she has amazing creations. Please check out her shop!

This little beauty is a gift for my sister who is expecting a baby in April. We both fell in love with this pretty doll so much that I'm planning to buy some more, this time for myself in the near future from Monica!

Thanks very much, Monica and best of luck in your Etsy business! I'll regularly be checking out your shop to see new items from you.

MORE TREASURIES FROM ME...

The sun kindly showed its face today and the temp got as high as 15C!

I made two more treasuries...

"In Love with Rainbow"...



The other one is "Ladybugs for Good Luck"...

INSPIRATIONS IN YELLOW AND BLUE

It's still snowing and I created another Etsy Treasury!

BE MY VALENTINE IN SNOW!

I created a treasury list, inspired by falling snow the other day...

MORE SNOW IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

We've been having lots of snow again since last night...Some new pictures from my neighborhood...

Below is our winter garden. :) I mean, our back yard...:)

My 11-year-old niece, Defne (Daphne) was on the top of the world! We have played snowball for one and a half hour this morning!

We even made snowman! No, 2 little snowmen and a snowwoman! :)

Below is our snowwoman! She has hair, made of daphne leaves and a face, made of daphne seeds...

It seems that the snowmen and snowwoman will be the gatekeepers of our apartment building for a while! Because it's still snowing at full throttle!

WE HAVE SNOW THIS WINTER IN ISTANBUL!

Here are some snow sceneries from my neigborhood: Sultantepe Under Snow! :) Beautiful, isn't it?

Below is the yard of our small health clinic...

BASKETWOVEN RIBBON MAKE-UP PURSES

These are another collaboration with my mother: Basketwoven ribbon purses. She weaves the outside body and I do the rest, as always! :)

The burgundy purse in this picture was sold to Canada yesterday night!The pistacchio green one was the first one to be sold! It went to USA, to Dear Amy!

Amy was so much in love with the green one that she couldn't resist and bought the cream one, too! Thanks so much for your interest, Amy! She is an old customer of mine and a new Facebook friend!
