Baby Boomers Return! ala Grace

The 4th of July is almost upon us. We were so tickled when Grace brought in a few more hand made "Baby Boomers"!  They are darling adorning flowers, on a cake, or even on their own! Made from vintage baby cutouts, real ribbon (in her hair)............

 hand glittered, rouged and tinseled, with a banner that says "Happy 4th of July!" . They are just $19.95 and easily mailed. Sorry SOLD OUT

Creativity from forced House Arrest

Have you ever had one of those forced "vacations" due to a health issue? Whether it is the flu, an injury or recuperation from the nasty stuff the medical profession can throw at you....., did you imagine that you would get SO MUCH ACCOMPLISHED while you were at luxuriating at home? No driving, no work, no chores, no church... Just one thing. I always forget about the pain medicine, the lack of a comfortable position, always needing "easy access" to a bathroom, that groggy feeling that doesn't let you do anything besides watch daytime TV? UHHGG Daytime TV.
I'm not going to Sue anybody, there is no way I am going to give up my life to Extreme Coupon, and if my daughter has a Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, just hide me under the dress and sneak me into another country!
After a recent 6 days of this kind of fun, mixed with nonstop togetherness with my recently retired husband, I was ready to sue the next gypsy I met in a grocery store. I convinced my DH that I would be fine by myself for a day, brushed my teeth and my hair (are you suppose to do that Every day?)  and snuck (sneaked?) out to my car, or as I like to call it, my Rolling Studio, and grabbed some supplies.....

I always have a big bag of Lace in my car (see "Lace Snob" post) and recently purchased a wonderful supply of French lace...

I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I had thrown two old lamps into the car also. All I needed was the lace and the lampshades for an easy to do project while I while not missing any of my new fave programs.....

 Look at the great shadows dancing on the walls....

AAhhhh, now I feel better!
