After I had retired, my bedtime rituals had changed. Now I read my emails and visited online websites for  unique   craft ideas.   I had recently purchased a large  pack   of colored  foam  sheets. I bought them online and  I  discovered that they  had adhesive backing. I didn't    read product details.  So, this feature was overlooked. I decided to keep  them   and assumed there would be online craft ideas available.   However,  t here were only a  few   adult crafts using foam sheets   with adhesive backing.   I like large teardrop   earrings.  Most of  my teardrop earring were made from wood. I suddenly recalled that I had a pair of animal print foam  earrings . But, I had  lost of  one of these foam earrings.  I t was  obvious, that my adhesive foam sheets would be   the  perfect item for making   earrings. I'll use...

SENIOR LADY: PAPER DRESS PROJECT!

Drawing paper dolls were my hobby  when I was a  young girl.  My obsession was drawing paper baby  dolls. I made baby doll   clothes, baby bottles and  pacifiers. Here are examples of some of my old  school   paper baby doll drawings:  My parents only allowed me to draw    spent  on  drawing paper pads, crayons, glue   and   scissors.   Of course, as a teen ager I gave  up this hobby.   I was doing my weekly browsing on social media, when I saw templates for paper dresses. There  were examples of  pretty paper dresses people had created using the templates. This brought back memories of when I drew paper baby dolls. Therefore,  I was anxious to see if I could create some pretty paper dresses.  I already had a pack of floral designed  scrapbook paper.  My collection of ribbons  and gem stickers was extension.  My examination of my craft supplies indi...

SENIOR LADY: EMERGENCY CLOTHING HACK! #2

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 ...
