I can't believe I did not post since Februari! Chicago


I can't believe I did not post since Februari!

Life has been hectic and I did feel sooooo tired a long time.
I am slowly slowly recovering but the hot summer does not really help me.

DH is home today so I have an unexpected day off today, one of the first since a very long time.

Lets try to start from Februari...

The first familly of my guests left somewhere in March : the twins their sister and their mother.
Life was a little more quiet after they left my very crowded flat.

Just before I left for Chicago the other little girl and her mom also went home agian.


ready to leave:  she was really cute and I miss her!

The last of my guests went home 18 june, after school finnished.
Can and Merve did finish their shool year here in Selçuk and can go on to the next year in hometown again.



And then I left for Chicago.
My room mate had to cancel last minute and I did not find someone else to share my room with.
Anyway I had a very nice quiet time there.
It was nice to see all my friends again, this year specially the petit pointer friends...
Here a picture of my table:



I took a workshop with my friend Kari Bloom, she is a very talented lady and a very good teacher.
 Thank you Kari!
I took this picture of the chair I made in my room, it is perfect with my big silk carpet.



And dinner with petit pointers:
                              me and Tamra, I don't remember who took the picture but I love it!

The show was 3 days now and after a flight of 12h. from Istanbul, the jet-lag, the stress of all winter and the 3 day show I was SOOOO  tired that after breaking up my table the last evening, I fell in my bed at 7 in the evening and did even not go down for dinner,  I was exhausted and slept until morning.

It is now end of July and I am still working hard...I finished a loom of carpets some days ago, started a new loom.   I also started making placemats for a customer and I am preparing my table for the 'Online miniature Show'somewhere in August -have to check out the correct date :-)-  so I am busy all the time....

I hope to put some pictures on my blog in some days!
