Singing Flowers
I had some fun this afternoon making some musical paper flowers for Wonder Woman's birthday. She likes a quiet, understated birthday, and I thought these might fit the bill. She loves music!
- off white card stock
- an old hymnal
- a round, scalloped paper punch
- hot glue gun and glue
- small shank buttons
- craft wire (mine is green, but use what you have)
Leave the cardstock punch outs flat. Fold the paper circles in half and then as you see above.
Take your Vitamin C!
A legacy?
Two things happened this week that made me think about it. My neighbor died. She was very old, with a bad heart. She still lived alone. She had no family, her only daughter died some years ago. It was a weird feeling watching another neighbor haul all of her belongings out onto the driveway and sell them in a yard sale.
It made me think about all of the stuff I like to surround me, to save in case I need it, to make my life easier. Is there really a point to having so much stuff?
And today, I was surfing and read this obituary. It is impressive to me, and I realized that what people think of me now, is how I will be remembered. Am I good with that?
It sure gives me food for thought, not seasoned with Vitamin C.......
Pink Necklace Re-Design
I remember making it, it has been quite a few years. I was sitting in my friend Joann's kitchen. The necklace got worn once and it has been hanging on a hook since then. Look how tarnished the silver is.
So, it got a re-do today. I cut it all apart and put away the beads I didn't like anymore.
All of the discs give it a slight Jetson-ish feel. I think I will wear the re-designed version. And if not, I will take it apart and try it again.
Just takes a little Vitamin C.
