The Andy Griffith Show

I learned how to knit in the second grade and I have been hooked on this hobby ever since. Here you can see samples of my projects. A few of them have competed at the Kansas State Fair and have taken the first, the second, and the third places.

There is nothing unusual that I cross-stitch. Every woman in my family can do it.

Ukraine was known as the "bread basket" of the USSR. Therefore, almost every Ukrainian has a "green thumb". I am not an exception.

My friend Jean had taught me how to latch hook. Due to time limitation, I have made only two projects. My first project "Jesus" took the Best of the Show recognition at the Kansas State Fair.

I have always liked to take pictures of sceneries, animals, plants, and people.

After watching the One Stroke Painting show with Donna Dewberry, I have become a fan of this painting technique. Here you can see some of my projects.

While visiting a Kansan family, I had noticed an interesting decoration for a box of tissues. The lady of the house told me about a craft called the Plastic Canvas. And I got hooked on another hobby. As a result, I have received The Best of The Show ribbon at the Kansas State Fair for one of my projects. Below you can see some of plastic canvas decorations I had made. In addition, the houses and picture frames were not only made but also designed by me.

During my internship at Ninnescah Valley Health Systems Inc. in August 2007, Mr. Gary Tiller, the CEO, asked me to create a new website for the hospital. Even though I told him that I have never done it before, he encouraged me to try. For two weeks I had taken photos, interviewed people, and learned about the organization. Click on the left picture below to see the result.
