SENIOR LADY: VALENTINE'S DAY HEART PROJECT!

-

 











I've been creating crafts for several years. I loved 

watching the craft shows on public broadcasting

channels.  The current craft trends were featured 

each month.  I made my shopping list during the

week after my kids were in bed. My shopping

trip was done at  Thrift and  Craft stores each 

month. I  enrolled my boys in the weekend Kids' 

Craft Classes. I  bought most of my craft supplies 

while they were in class.


I have been creating crafts using hearts often.

The challenge is embellishing them with new

design ideas.  I can usually get inspired after 

I view several magazines, craft tv, and online 

videos. There is no need to  wait for holiday

Valentine's Day to create heart crafts.  I add 

hearts of various colors, sizes, and designs 

 to clothes, mugs, and planters throughout 

the year. Here is one of my heart tee shirts:










I decided to abandon my wreath making this

Valentine's Day.  I saw a lot of pretty heart

crafts that were created for the front door.

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

SENIOR WOMEN, LOOKING GOOD JULY 4TH

I chose these shoes to get your attention. I  couldn't wear  heels this high, young or old!  I choose my July 4th outfit carefully. I do not want to look like a walking flag!!  Several years ago I used to buy matching patriotic t-shirts for my husband and I. I must tell you that July 4th was only time he would agree to looking like the Bobbsey Twins. He had a few rules for me. We could wear matching  t-shirts as long as they weren't girly or pink. I have been looking at patriotic clothing and accessories this week. I found all of them on Google and are available under "shopping". I need to buy something very soon. ****************************************************************************** MY WISH LIST:     TOPS/SKIRTS/CAPRI                            ...
