We had some very cold freezing days. It seems it was the coldest winter in 50 years in this region.<br />
Several plants in my garden were frozen, I still hope some of them will recover.<br />
<br />

<br />
As promised here pictures of the dress I made last week.<br />
Yes it took me more than a week - not fully days ! - to have it finished, but I loved working on it so I could not stop!<br />
<br />
I got the inspiration on Pinterest, where I collect pictures of real size crochet, mostly vests, to make for myself one day... When I saw this dress I really liked it but asked myself, when will you ever wear something like this? And then the idea was born to try to make it in miniature.<br />
I had to reduce the design and for the shape I had the dress form to control measurements.<br />
<br />
front of the dress:<br />

It is August already ... time flies so fast.<br />

My garden is not as fruitful as it was last year but I still enjoy it.<br />
The only thing what did grow very big were the sunflowers. We did enjoy for several weeks the sound of the goldfinches visiting us having breakfast lunch and dinner at our place:<br />

Rainy days, colder - this moment 16C, nights about 8C, what is maybe not bad for you but after all those Months of sunshine it is different...but I am still lucky, when the sun shines we can sit outside in the afternoon all winter.<br />
<br />
Any way we had a beautiful rainbow last week, it was a double one but when I came back with my camera the biggest one was fading away fast.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And for my miniature friends: I wanted to prove for myself I can do a multi colored granny piece, so I started - already some weeks ago now - an Afghan/blanket. <br />
I can work on it outside when the sun shines or evenings when my DH watches television.<br />
In the beginning I really needed to force myself to go on and not give up. It is not really what I do usual :)<br />
So I called it my exercise of patience. I am over half of it now. and start having fun making it. <br />
Sometimes it takes me longer to decide about the next color to use than making the next square.<br />
Sorry the picture is a bit blurry, I promise a better one when finished. I need new batteries for my camera ... the only bad part of living in a very quiet place without having a car: it takes some organisation to do shopping!<br />

<br />
First of all I want to share a picture of my petit point progress, I love to work on it but had not much time the last weeks.<br />

<br />
Last Friday my mother, sister and brother in law arrived at a hotel close to my house.<br />
Because my sis has health problems and they did not know my house they prefered to stay in a hotel and visiting me during the day. I 'chartered' a friend with car to help us drive around.<br />
<br />
Now they have seen the house and the possibilities the promesses for next year are made already :)<br />
Friday afternoon we picked them up at the hotel and had a very nice visit home.<br />
Saturday morning I would take them from the hotel at about 11h. When I arrived my mom asked to help because there was a man who wanted to ask me something.<br />
So I got out of the car and started walking to that man who was sitting on a bench filming with his camera.<br />
I found it a bit stupid he was filming me while I crossed the street, thinking 'where am I supposed to know him from' and when I was there he asked me how he could get to the beach ...<br />
The moment I did hear his voice I knew it was my brother!<br />
They made a surprise for everyone. He and his wife (of 3 years and I never saw before) arrived Friday night and made the same surprise for my mom and sister. It was really fun. But of course now we had not enough place in the car to go to the market in Selçuk.<br />
The men decided to go by 'dolmuş' little busses running between the villages. For them it was a bit of adventure.<br />
We had a very nice time as you can see on the next picture:<br />

It is a long time ago I did laugh so much as I did the last two days!<br />

I think I am the only normal in the family :)<br />
<br />
So today is a day rest for me: they want to enjoy a day of hotel luxury.<br />
I am sure that before the evening everybody in the hotel will know them!<br />

And as it is still summer I like to sit outside in the garden, even the evenings.<br />
So I decided to start a BIG petit-point carpet.<br />
<br />
I started the design on the 15th of August and I only worked of and on on the piece .<br />
My social life was quiet busy the last weeks, or should I say 'I finally have a social life again'?<br />
<br />
The carpet is a challenge, it will be big! About 7-1/2'' wide and about 11'' long<br />
I made a little more than half of the first (small) border. The larger border next to it will have a dark blue background and to finish I will also make a dark blue border all around:<br />

He looked a bit scared but escaped safely under my tomato plants!<br />
<br />
I loved the visit! I don't know why but I always loved hedgehogs.,<br />
Once as a kid I had one as a pet for quiet a long time ... now I feel totally home here :)<br />

I have been working in the garden, in fact making a garden, for the last Month.<br />
But because I need help it is not yet finished...<br />
I hope tonight or at least tomorrow night the last part of the hard work will be finished so that I can start growing flowers and some vegetables.<br />

<br />
This winter we had a lot of rain and thunderstorms...I hope weather will improve from now, today was a sunny day 20C!<br />
So I have been sitting outside in the sun working on my crochet.<br />
I finished a 'prototype' for my IGMA submission some days ago and I have been working on the 'definitive' piece today.<br />
Here a picture of the 'prototype' do you like it?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In the 'real piece' I did make some changes to make it look better, it will also be less round and more star shaped.<br />
<br />
So this makes 4 pieces ready now my last one !<br />
I still did not decide what to make crochet or a stitched piece ....maybe I will make some try outs first.<br />
<br />
And just for fun a picture I took because I love my cats so much (and my DH also of course):<br />

Again some Aubusson type carpets, here an example of one:<br />

<br />
<br />
And I also am listing again regularly on eBay.<br />
I try to have at least one new crochet piece every week.<br />
This week there is a nice star table top, I am not really happy with the fringe, maybe I have to take it of:<br />
<br />

<br />
Maybe I can give excuses, I have been busy and stressed and and... so I will try to explain what happened:<br />
<br />
We moved!<br />
It is a big difference in my life. I hope to retire from the shop in Selçuk (If my husband does not call me back there when the season starts!)<br />
We did buy a house in Kusadasi - closer to his shop - and live in a very quiet , green place.<br />
OK it is a long walk -13 minutes :-) - to the main road and the bus stop.<br />
It will take me half a day to go to the post office, and shopping will be not easy also (we still don't have a car). Thanks to a friend living close by I get a lift to the supermarket now and than.<br />
<br />
It is in a 'closed site' with 31 houses, in a big garden, and it has a shared swimming pool (nice for summer!).<br />
<br />
This was before we moved, most of the blinds are closed here: we get a lot of light at home!<br />
And in this picture you can see the hill behind our house.<br />
My workroom is on the first floor (we have only one :-) ) where the little balcony is on the right - with the open blind.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
It took me only some weeks to pack everything, clean the new house and move ...<br />

I did finish a loom of carpets and started a new one already some weeks ago.<br />
These were custom made 'Beluch' carpets:<br />
I even made a 3th one a slightly different version for my own.<br />

And after knotting weeks and weeks on similar designs I neede something really different.<br />
So here a picture of my first try to a French Aubusson or Savonnerie style carpet:<br />
And I forgot to tell that this one is for sale this weekend on the Miniature Show Online :<br />

I can't believe I did not post since Februari!<br />
<br />
Life has been hectic and I did feel sooooo tired a long time.<br />
I am slowly slowly recovering but the hot summer does not really help me.<br />
<br />
DH is home today so I have an unexpected day off today, one of the first since a very long time.<br />
<br />
Lets try to start from Februari...<br />
<br />
The first familly of my guests left somewhere in March : the twins their sister and their mother.<br />
Life was a little more quiet after they left my very crowded flat.<br />
<br />
Just before I left for Chicago the other little girl and her mom also went home agian.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ready to leave: she was really cute and I miss her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The last of my guests went home 18 june, after school finnished. <br />
Can and Merve did finish their shool year here in Selçuk and can go on to the next year in hometown again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
And then I left for Chicago.<br />
My room mate had to cancel last minute and I did not find someone else to share my room with.<br />
Anyway I had a very nice quiet time there.<br />
It was nice to see all my friends again, this year specially the petit pointer friends...<br />
Here a picture of my table:<br />
