from granny to great....





















many ways to turn granny into great
this collected colorfull...so easy to make!!

you will need:
a dowel
assorted granny squares
thread, twine or yarn
beads
tape

layout out your grannys...many many options :D
cut your dowel to size
cut lengths of string...be sure and double the length
consider where you want the string to be strung in the grannys...
then add that many
loop your string on a dowel
then make a point with tape on the end of the two strings...
that will serve as a needle to thread your beads and grannys
start by adding a row of beads
then add a granny attaching it so it is secure and won't flop
each one is different so you will have to adjust to that
continue with a row of beads, then a row of grannys
keep going until you like the shape and size
add a string to the top so you can hang it
add a dowel or beads at the bottom if you want!!
enjoy!! :D

created by sam...



every shade of every color hung on a sandwich board sign
"created by sam" it said and oh they were so very fine
all different types of expressions captured in nails and screws
hard to choose a favorite but decided on a big smiling blue
the wood pieces all shapes and sizes...made by this young boy
watching him there shy and helping me brought me so much joy!!
"his first sale" his mother said as she helped him with her beaming smile
felt such a warm nostalgia...and so thankful all the while
touched by this encounter...so happy i stopped to look
this was me many years ago...selling lemonade...a book
sewing projects...beaded jewelry and even the occasional bazaar
this young entrepreneur brought back memories...this shining star!!
and the hand stamped bag...and the help from sam himself
touched my heart...this young boy...oh wishing him a whole lot of wealth!!

everyday fun finds...





every once in awhile you find fabulous things
and these beauty products make my heart sing!!
the brow pencil so chubby and very very light
brings my too blonde eyebrows very softly into sight.
before everything i have used is too bold..a scary sight
and this gentle crayon in this shade is just so right
and the best my makeup felt was on my sons wedding day
and dear devon applied this shade of shadow in her creative way
"it will make your blue eyes bluer"...that was what she said
so i tried this color in this brand...no more brown, this instead
the illuminator...wow...it is subtle and so light
it's creamy and easy to apply...everyone can get this right
i discovered it from darcey and tried it just for fun
and this is a drugstore must have...get it everyone!!
and the mascara i just stumbled upon the packaging just right
i am always drawn to everything that is simply black and white
and the description retro glamour...just what i was looking for
and my lashes thicker and longer...left me loving it more!!
so these ideas you might like too so head to your neighborhood store
hope you try these if you want...these fun finds that i adore!!
maybelline brow drama crayon pomade in blonde
nyx baked shadow in chance
mabelline master strobing stick in light/iridescent 100
