Next month I turn the big FIVE OH and was sent my wonderful AARP paperwork to send in. Apparently they or someone else who likes to give out this information has spread it around that I'm OLD now! How rude is that? Suddenly I am getting mail for senior citizens. Talk about making a girl feel "good". What next, cemetery plot solicitors? I can't wait to get the senior discounts now!
I have actually done a few "crafty things" lately. I have been wanting to try iris folding cards for awhile now....a LONG while now but never got around to it. It seemed more complicated then I found it actually is.
My first card I used a circle as my base for the card then embellished with a lot of papers and some floral and butterfly stickers.
I forgot to take a picture of the circle iris so this is what one looks like before embellished.
My second card I used a square base and then placed strips of pages and covers I'd copied from Sarah Addison Allen's books. I stamped the bird on a branch with some white ink then dusted it with perfect pearls irridescent powder. I used tissue tape on the edges and embellished with small paper flowers and butterfly. Crystal rhinstones for the center of the flowers.
My sister asked me to make her a scarf so I made a couple for her. I forgot (must be that old age getting to me) to take a picture of the first one but did the second. The first was a thicker and shorter version of this one.
Mortie is enjoying the warmth
Jake has become sort of clingy this week. I wake up to find him laying on my legs when I'm napping. He makes a nice leg warmer but he also gets hard on these old bones once he's been there awhile and has made himself comfortable.
This is what I see when I wake up
This is what I see when I try to move.
I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for reading. Peace!
