Hats made the show

I belong to a wonderful group called Reflections Community Chorus and entertain at senior centers, assisted living and nursing homes.  We did the song Put On Your Sunday Clothes from Hello Dolly. Here are the hats I designed to be worn during that song.  They brought many smiles and we all enjoyed wearing the hats. Most of the hats were found in thrift stores and even many of the lace & silk flowers used to give them their Sunday look.  The charming lady that's wearing hats in these pictures is a true treasure.  She is a paper mache hat model from the 1800s and I call her Madame...perfect name for she is so elegant sitting on dresser in my bedroom.

I still love wearing hats and do when going to church or functions where people are dressed in lovely attire. I did attend a book review luncheon Tuesday and naturally wore hat to compliment my attire.  Amazing how many compliments you get when wearing a hat.  On Easter Sunday decorated hat to coordinate with my outfit and even the Minister said "I love your hat"...that was a wow and blessed moment.









There were over 25 created and I felt each hat was so personal to me....they were created with love and joy. 

Enjoy this small selection of the hats and think how lovely you would feel having one to adorn your head.

Fun with paint brush

I am redheaded lady that loves painting anything...even have gotten paint on my cat who is named Rufus.

Seeing this is new blog for me I will try to keep you posted on items that I create.  Today will add pictures of couple items for you to enjoy viewing.

While being creative do admit sit in lazy boy chair, watching tv and painting.  Not much space here in a small apartment, but am able make it work.   Just finished several wine glasses and then heard horrible crash.....OMG, it was Rufus climbing into spaces where he should never be.Talk about a miracle....not one of the painted wine glasses were broken.

Hope you enjoy the dibs & dabs that will be posted here during the next few weeks.

OK...pictures...enjoy and you are welcome to make compliments/comments.
Christmas Gift for daughter who likes anything with animal print.  She has it in her office for storage and decoration.

Isn't this just so pretty?  Painted the box then decoupaged the top.  Gave it as Christmas gift and was hit.
Hand painted this adorable box.  Perfect for setting on your dresser or vanity.  Lovely too for your office space.


Even decoupaged inside the box top.
What an adorable name for new Great Grand baby.
