SENIOR LADY: JULY 4TH FLORAL CRAFTS! #3

-








I have been collecting women's scarves for several

 years. I probably own about fifty scarves. These

scarves are various sizes, colors, and textures.

Some scarves are cotton bandanas, long silky

shawls and sheer for head wrap. I had pulled

all the scarves out so I could organize them.

My plan was to group the 15 bandanas, 15

silky shawls, and 20 pull on head wraps.

I found a very long red, white, and blue

Infinity scarf. I forgot I had it and it had

never been worn. I was happy I found

this scarf because I could use it for

July 4th decor.

Here are details for Patriotic Scarf Project:


Need:

52 inch Patriotic Infinity Scarf

5 inch Patriotic Table Top 

Centerpiece with Silver Base 

Red Cardinal Ornament, 2 Count

7 inch White Planter 

Recycled Bags or Paper Filler














INSTRUCTIONS:


Remove tags from center piece & scarf. Remove

 Cardinals from card. Stuff the planter with the

 recycled grocery bags or crumbled newspaper 

until planter is almost full. 

Make the scarf into a circle & fit it snuggly into 

the top of the planter. Need to leave a whole in 

the center of the scarf.  The table top Centerpiece

 will go in the center.  Place one Cardinal on each 

side of the Centerpiece. The Centerpiece & two

Cardinals may have to be glued down in order

to make them stable.  The Planter is ready to go 

on your table top.













I was able to come complete this craft in less

than less than a hour.  Once the supplies were 

gathered together and prepped,  the craft was

easy to assemble. 


Most of the Patriotic Centerpieces were gone

at my local Dollar Store. I would have bought 

a couple to use next year. The crafters in my

area really buy a lot of Holiday decor. 


TIPS:

** Craft grass can be used in the planter. 

I thought the Patriotic scarf base added 

a  whimsical touch to the planter. No

soil was used since this decor will be

kept indoors.

** I buy extra Cardinals when they 

are available at Christmas. Any red,

blue or white birds can be used.

**Patriotic ribbon or bow can 

tied around the planter for added

touch.

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

RAINWATER MAKES IT GROW!

I have been gardening for over 20 years. I'll admit I learned some secrets through trial and error. My neighbor had a large garden in his backyard. Some years he had a very good yield. He would muddle over why his yield each year wasn't  consistent. I finally figured out why his yield  was inconsistent. God's rainwater had to be plentiful in order for me to have a great yield  in my flower and vegetable garden. My yield was poor when there was a summer drought. No amount of city water from my garden  hose improved my yield. Organic soil and organic fertilizer didn't guarantee that I would have a bounty of flowers and vegetables. The combination of lots of  rain water, organic soil and organic  fertilizer boosted my yield. My state hasn't experienced a  drought  this summer. As a  matter of fact, we've  had  several bouts of flooding.  I had to  drain excessive water from some of  the  containers in my garden. I a...

  I used to laugh at my mother when she said that dresses were cooler than shorts in the summer. She has gotten the last laugh a lot lately. I guess my mother does know best sometimes. She was right. A dress was cooler to me, especially during a hot flash!! I do not wear sleeveless dresses in the summer without a cover-up.I am like most senior women. I don't like to show my arms.  I have invested in lace shawls, sheer shirts, and linen jackets to use as my cover-ups. Here are pretty summer dresses and cover-ups senior ladies might like for the summer:     FASHION ACCESSORY: CANOPI SLEEVES NEW FASHION ACCESSORY CALLED SLEEVEY WONDERS       Here are some websites that have good suggestions for summer cover ups:    SLIMMING DRESSES   PERFECT SHRUGS & C...
