About the author of the site:

My name is Merve, I am a Muslim, an engineer from New York, a mom, a wife and a crafter by nature. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby but most importantly to teach my son about nature and manual skills. My parents and I traveled quite a lot, thus I was able to pick up different cultures and languages easily. My parents introduced me to arts and crafts at a very early age. I love doing arts and crafts as a hobby :).

As a child I watched many Japanese shows. These shows influenced my taste, my skills and even my choice in profession. One of these arts and crafts shows that influenced me was called ¿Can I do it? Or in Japanese, Dekirukana? I only watched the show from age 4-5 but it did leave quite an impression in my life as well as in the life of many other children. Because of this I want to share with you the crafts that I have made through all these years, as a volunteer for pre-schools, as a child with my parents, as an older sister with my siblings and now as a mom. I hope you enjoy them with your children and learn from them, that is my sincere wish!

My Interests and Hobbies: Paper Crafts, Felt Crafts, Jewelry Making, Sewing, Cooking, Cleaning, Gardening, Poetry writing, Watching TV, Home Repairs, painting, Scrapbooking, puppets, puppet shows, making flowers, Children Crafts.
