In Awe

I am in awe of the skilled hands of Mojoko W. as she forms perfectly ROUND puff puffs.  I tried my hand at frying the delicious African dough today.  Mine did not come out very round, but have many little side “legs” and “arms”.  Flavor is still good and met with approval here at home!


My other project has been to alter a beautiful Nigerian dress gifted to me by a church member.  I am in awe of the gifted seamstress who originally made this dress.  With long distance help from my mom, I took it in and even learned how to tie a simple head wrap!  Woo 
hoo!
