Salams to all!
Was just talking to a sheikh who told me that to create is to make something out of nothing.
Confusion I had was that he said all matter are created but he answered me in a way that was a bit confusing to me. So I came here to ask. Just please simplify things for me as much as possible, just what I as a layman have to know.

For instance, I have a carpet- Allah alone created my carpet. He created the material it was made out, the actions of the person who weaved the carpet, my seeing of the carpet he also created. This is just an example, but did I make a mistake anywhere here in my thinking?

Of course Allah created the moon, stars, etc, but also our actions He alone created.
