SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

I   have been collecting Angels for   over  twenty years. I have two Curio Cabinets filled with them. Most of my Angel gifts came from friends and family. I also have  Hawaiian Angel   which my former boss got on his vacation. A former co-worker gave me an beautiful  African Angel which I treasure. I do DIY craft Angels too. Some Cherubs are included in my projects. Five years ago I sold five inch wooden Angels. I saved a few to go in my Curio Cabinets. Last week I was browsing online craft sites looking for ideas to use for my Christmas projects.  I spotted crafts using pull tabs from canned sodas . I have a  gift   bag filled with tabs and plastic bottle caps. Sure,  I rushed   to see if I had enough tabs to make some of these crafts.   The Angels made from pull tabs were pretty,  but   they looked complicated to create. Luckily, videos   were included with the instructions. I plan to    recycle so...

I have several packs of pipe cleaners in my craft  drawer. I have purchased  packs of  Primary colors,  Pastel colors, Holiday colors for Easter,  Valentine's  Day, St. Patrick's Day, Veteran's Day, and Christmas .  Now glitter  pipe cleaners are available, which I also  have purchased.  They are great   to have on hand  since they can be used in most crafts. I will be working on Christmas projects from October  to December. I searched online for ideas and saw  several interesting crafts for pipe cleaners. Many can be done by adults and children.  Here are   details  for one of my Christmas crafts using pipe   cleaners: CHRISTMAS PIPE CLEANER ORNAMENTS : NEED: 1- Red Pipe Cleaner Stem , Glittery, 12 inch 1-Green Pipe Cleaner Stem, Glittery, 12 inch 2- Grey\ Silver Pipe Cleaner Stem, Glittery, 12 inch Christmas Colored Gems , Spool: 3\4 in x 108 in, 9 feet Metallic Silver Ribbon, 1\8 inch TOOLS: Sc...

I decided to get an earlier start on creating my Christmas projects this year. I try to come up different Christmas Crafts annually. My friends and family visit in November so they can buy some my Christmas creations. Last year my Christmas craft stick window scenes were best sellers.   I recently browsed a few online sites and videos. I was inspired by some of the Christmas water  bottle creations. I have been saving water bottles this year. I didn't have craft ideas on how to use them.    There were some Christmas   Bells featured. They were pretty and didn't seem too complicated to create. I rummaged through my craft bags and discovered that I already had most of items that was  needed for  the Christmas Bell. Here are the details for my project: CHRISTMAS BELL PROJECT: NEED: 1- Recycled water bottle : Size: 33.8 oz  1-Small Poinsettia Pick 2 Red Pipe Cleaners , 12 inches 2 Green Pipe Cleaners , 12 inches 3- Silver Pipe Cleaner , 12 inch...

   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 ...
