SENIOR LADY: JULY 4 DOUBLE WREATH PROJECTS!

-

 








A friend of mine taught me that Thrift Stores have great

 finds. She taught me a few tricks on how to find brand

 name designer clothes. Some of the clothes were barely

used because some wealthy people changed their

 wardrobe every year. A lot of these clothes are 

donated to Thrift Stores. Some Thrift Stores receive

  new designer clothes that are Close Outs or Over

 Stocks.  These clothes are put in  special area of the

 store called, "The Boutique".  They also receive new 

 brand named household products, jewelry, and craft

 supplies.  Last Christmas, I found a large basket full

 mini  Christmas ornaments and crafts supplies. 

 Therefore, I saved a lot of money that day. I had 

received two mini Christmas trees for a gift and 

had no ornaments. Now I visit two Thrift Stores 

near me every two weeks. Last week I found two

brand new wire wreath forms  and other craft 

supplies.  These were  great finds  since I have

three wreath display areas on my porch. 


Here are the details for my wreath project:


JULY 4 DOUBLE WREATH PROJECT:


NEED: 


(2) 8 Inch  wire wreath forms

2-3 Red Flower Stems

2-3 White Rose Stems

2-3 Blue Flower Stems

Royal Blue Vinyl Table Cover, Rectangular

(2)  5 Inch Patriotic Bows


TOOLS:

Scissors

Glue Gun with Glue Sticks


 Remove table cover from package. Unfold a portion of the table cover. Use scissors to cut (16 ) 2 1\2 inch x 13 inch strips. Need 8 strips to wrap each wreath. 

 Wrap one wreath with the strips and secure ends with dot of glue. Repeat the process for 2 nd wreath.

Glue the bow in the middle of each  wreath. Then

separate red, white, & blue flowers. I put each color in separate pile.The exact number needed depends on size of your flower heads. I used 8 flowers heads on each wreath.  Lay flowers on wreath to reach the design wanted. Use dot of  glue to secure flowers in place. 

If use too much hot glue it'll melt cover.
















Wreath hangers can be added to these double wreaths

 so  they can be hung up side by side. Another option is

to  place a wreath on the front, side, or back door. These

nice looking wreaths are great to use for all Patriotic

Holidays.

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...

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:
