Never thought...

At my age I have done many things but still amazed at how many things I never thought I would be doing...like making belly button rings.  Recently my granddaughter Ayla ventured into piercing and had her belly done. One day she texted me and asked if I would make her some rings for her belly. Didn't know anything about them so Ayla educated me and the project was in play.  Found the rings themselves on one of my favorite places to shop...EBay...and bought 10 with rhinestones in a assortment of colors.  We spent almost 2 days working on them...she designed and it was my job to try and put them together.  Had a few large bags of broken jewelry which she didn't waste anytime going through and found small pieces to incorporate into the designs.  Its always a priceless experience when spending time with my grand babies. Truly blessed to have them all be creative like their Nana.  Thank you Ayla!

She's done!

Me again...two posts in one day...must be a record...yep it is...

The dress form is done...think I will put her in my bedroom...will do much better on the next one. With that in mind will still post a photo of her.  She is my special needs form...she need something...maybe a hug...

Almost done...

Below is a pic of my stuffed dress form ...just waiting for the base to dry so can finish it up. Not really satisfied with it but then again its my first one.  Maybe its because of the color, kind of fabric or its because I've been working on it for so long it starts to look ugly... just not sure.   Not giving up though...going to be making more of them for my next show...that's the plan anyway...thinking a martini would be a good idea about now...

Its the fourth of July weekend and its very hot out.  My hubby has the week off so we are planning to do little things around the house...Maybe some creating...all my fingers and toes are crossed...lol
