SENIOR LADY: EMERGENCY CLOTHING HACK! #2

-
Image
I liked wearing denim capris during the summer and  fall months. However, this has been one prolonged hot summer this year. I went shopping for cotton capris. I was fortunate enough to find a store that had just placed their summer capris on display.   These cotton capris   were available in several colors.  Now, I needed to   look for matching tops and hair  accessories. I decided to visit a local beauty supply store which always has an extensive supply of scarves, bows,  and   barrettes for any hairstyle. I was able to find hair wrap headbands in the colors  I wanted. The headbands were too  snug. I researched online to see how to repair headbands that were too tight. One online suggestion was to stretch it on large jar for 24 hours. Another site suggested adding colorful fabric to the headband. I tried both suggestions. I stretched the fancy wrap headband on a large vase. I'll be adding fabric to the other two headbands. HAIR WR...

SENIOR LADY: EMERGENCY CLOTHING HACK!

  I have a routine I do before I get ready for church on  Sunday. I arise at 7:30 am,  say my morning prayers,  and   prepare  my coffee. I sit quietly and enjoy drinking  cups of coffee until 8 am. Next I start trying to pick out an outfit to wear. Of course, I change my mind a couple of times before I make my final selection. My Mom taught me to chose an outfit the night before I go to church.  I tried this many times. But  this method  doesn't   work for me. I don't like the outfit and change it again anyway.  This Sunday was I chose a new dress I wanted wear.  I chose it because it had  my favorite brown animal print on it .    I put it on and discovered that the neckline was too  low   and revealing.  I tied to discreetly make the front  neckline   tighter using a safety pin . This was a tacky  looking mess. I suddenly remembered a hack I had  used on some of my ...

SENIOR LADY: SUCCULENT DISPLAY PROJECT!

-
Image
  I have been collecting succulents for many years. I believed the hype that said they were easy to grow. I have purchased several online and from plant nurseries.  I have bought succulent cuttings sold in groups of ten. Only five of them survived. I'll admit I have been guilty of over watering and under watering succulents. Finally came up with my failsafe method of keeping them alive. I began using a mini spray bottle of purified water for watering them.  I would never run water on them until the water drains out the bottom of the planter. I saw this advice on a  video. I'll stick with the method that works for me. I tried a DIY succulent display using a white kitchen colander. The succulents have survived  for   six months using the spray bottle method . I recently saw a good price for Haworthia  succulents,  online. Here are the details for my display with the   Haworthia succulents : NEED: Haworthia Succulent Collection, 3 plants: 2 Inc...
