Iyi Akşamlar,
If I say it has been cold and blustery here in Marmaris most of you would roll your eyes thinking I have no earthly clue what cold and blustery really feels like. But this morning at “hat making” Deborah said she was freezing and her real home is Alaska! She wore her new fleece hat home! I grew up in MA so I know there’s no comparison and I hope some of that global warming hits New England and starts melting some of that snow but not in a way to cause lots of flooding.
Today was actually our 3rd hat making session and I still have nothing to show for it. Deborah just about finished hers and it looked really cute! Hopefully next week mine will be finished. I’m doing a double layer fleece to make it really warm for next season or next week depending on what our weather does. This email was from a week ago. I’ve been reluctant to send emails because something isn’t working so well and the pictures have become problematic. Next week I’ll take the computer to Platin and if there’s any hope for my old computer, Fatma will work some miracle and fix it all up. She’s a wiz!

Hat Making continues… part 2

We’d bought the material and now it was time to cut out the hats; Deborah was the first to start and then Jill fitted it to her head.

Remember Coni’s old pjs? They became decorations for the hats.

Gamze was working on her needlepoint and Jill on her sock even as she directed the hat making.
 
Margaret, a friend from the marina in North Cyprus and also now in Marmaris, is being taught the “European” way to hold knitting needles by Jill.

I was working on this painting of a whirling dervish. It came out terrible because I left too little room for his feet and when I tried to fix it…..dum de dum dum. Next week I’ll work on a hat!
