TURKISH COFFEE

If you like coffee but never tried this one... well, I do not know what to say... For your excuse there are not too many places selling it. Of course if you are in Colorado, you are in luck. SPARKS Coffee and Tea 6660 E Hampden Ave, Denver. But what if not? Then you have to make it at home.

HIDDEN TREASURES

One man's junk - other man's treasure... So true!
So, these are some of my latest finds.

Rug... It was so dirty... But I figured: $6.99, even if I have to throw it away - not too much of a loss. Only after cleaning and some online research the story came out: handmade Persian wool not starched rug...

 

DECOUPAGE. SECOND LOOK.

First time I've heard of decoupage was about 18 years ago. And my reaction was:"What? Cutting pictures and gluing them on the furniture? I am sorry, but I did it when I was five and was punished for this." Later I saw some pictures of it and left them unnoticed, some even made me think "ugly!". But then something happened and I wanted to learn how to do it. OMG! If you go a little bit dipper then bottles and cutting board - it is a whole new world.

Give it a second look and you may find a new hobby!

JUST ONE WEEKEND. SEWING FOR FUN - 5

Yesterday, actually, the whole weekend was wonderful!Nothing in particular but I have just have such a wonderful feeling when I think about it. Saturday was just lazy. W played and I ran to Boulder and came back, at night we went to see "Snow White and a Huntsman". OK, I have to admit, the whole movie I was waiting when Julia Robertson appeared. Obviously, she did not... Just when we came home I realised that she played Qween in the movie ."Mirror, Mirror". Can you imagine that TWO movies based on the same tale would be released the same year?!

TEA TOWELS. SEWING FOR FUN - 4

So, few posts ago I showed new tea towels I made for my kitchen. Do you know what tea towels are suppose to be used for? This is correct! For clean dishes and for putting under the rolls/breads and such. The problem is, in my kitchen they would be used for hands hence will get very spotty very fast. And because I spent two days making them this was not the future I wanted for them. The answer is - hand towels. But does anybody want to spend anytime making something knowing it is going to the trash pretty soon? Not me! So, I came up with these hand towels, they are decorative, you can throw away but safe your labor.
