SENIOR LADY: BANDANA JEWELRY PROJECT !

Image
   I am still feeling a  creative vibe after completing  my Polka Dot Earrings Project . I have been looking  for new designs to use   on the rest of my adhesive colored foam sheets.  The   online jewelry sites offered a few interesting ideas. Eureka! One of the sites were selling bandana printed earrings. I thought this was a genius idea. I have been collecting bandanas for several years.  I probably have over twenty of them in various colors and print. Most  of    them have the traditional Paisley design . There is one that has  green dollar bills print and another with red Valentine's Day hearts print . I would never even considered   using some of the fabric for earrings.  The BoHo style wrap is how I wear my bandanas. Here is an image  below of one of the popular BoHo styles: I could use the   colored foam sheets as a cover for  the backside of the earrings.   Here are the details ...

SENIOR LADY: HEART 4 A CAUSE PROJECT!

  When I was a busy working mother, I didn't know  about health awareness   support groups. Years later my mother told me she was invited to an Alzheimer's   Luncheon. I learned more about this support group online. Their theme color was purple. Now my church celebrates Cancer Awareness annually. We have a luncheon on Saturday. On Sunday, we have  a speaker, the ladies   wear pink,  and  the   men wear the Cancer Awareness pins. We also make donation to the Cancer Awareness group. I was inspired to make some Awareness pins for me and my Mom to wear.  I already had plenty of  craft supplies on hand.

SENIOR LADY: FALL DECOR IN PURPLE!

  I love watching the trees in my yard change to fall colors.    I also have one of the City Nature Parks near  my   home. The leaves are just beginning to change to yellow,red, and orange.  This annual fall occurrence   reminds me that it's  time to work on my fall decor   projects.  Last week I was shopping at my favorite Dollar store .  They had just restocked their traditional fall display   section. It  had plenty of Fall flowers in  orange, red,   and yellow colors. There was a second display of F all decor in the front of the store. It had more faux Fall decor in lots of  shades of lavender and purple. I didn't   realize so many purple fall flowers existed!   I grabbed a basket  full of them. These purple fall   flowers would be gone quickly when other Purple Lovers  visit this store. Here are details for my fall project: PURPLE FALL FAUX FLOWERS  PROJECT: NEED: 2, Laven...
