I Made Two Hair Flower Pins Tonight

They were so easy to make! I just cut out a flower shape in different sizes from a few different fabrics--two denim and one felt and layered them on top of each other. The only sewing was a few hand stitches to hold all the layers together and to sew the fabric-covered button on. In less than 30 minutes, I had this done:
It was so much fun, I made another in black vinyl and red. It goes with the red/black handbag.
Either of these can be used in the hair or as a lapel pin like I am showing you tonight. My hair is not in an updo, so I can't try them out in the hair.
I think I will wear the red/black tomorrow.

Here's the green/denim as a lapel pin on a denim jacket atop a green shirt.
I should probably make a matching bag for this little ensemble. Right now my mind is full of ideas for hair flowers. I can' wait to make the next one!

Bonus Free Night

Just before I left work, DH called and said he would not be home until after 7:00 p.m. He said he would stop and pick up a burger for dinner. I passed on the burger--I am not too fond of burgers.

Whoo hooo---no cooking tonight! I hate making dinner on weeknights.
So I got home about 3:30 p.m. It was a balmy 61 degrees, so I thought I would walk around the Ponderosa (DH's name for my large gardens) and squirt some deer repellent on the emerging tulip foliage.

I mixed up a batch of the repellent and headed out. I got to the first bit of tulip foliage and began to squirt.........nothing happened............I tried again and again.........nothing. I took the nozzle off and went inside and washed it out. I could get water to come through from the kitchen sink, but when I went outside.............nothing...........darn! I decided to use that red Folgers coffee can and just dump a bit of the repellent on the tulip foliage........tomorrow I will have to have DH check it out.

I came inside and decided to have a beverage. V8 Fusion sounded good--Goji Raspberry --Yum....veggies and fruit never tasted so good. I drank it in a Z-stemmed martini glass, which made it taste even better. In my opinion a stemmed glass makes every beverage taste better!

Since the weather has been so nice, I decided to paint my toe nails. I may be wearing sandals before I had expected this year. While they dried, I decided to make my dinner...............
Tortilla chips and Ragu cheese sauce....YUM! Since the chips are multi-grain, they must be healthy, right?


Yesterday I wore my hair up again. This time I used three spring flower barrettes as my hairdo garnish.........
I am having fun with my longer hair. It usually only lasts a few months and then I can't stand it any longer and I get it all cut off. It's fun while it lasts though....

It's almost 6:30 p.m. and DH will be home soon. I guess I will go and make him a nice salad to go with his burger...it would be the good "wifey" thing to do, don't you think? He loves salads.

update 6:52pm:
I made him this big salad:

He should be home any minute. I hope he likes it!

Spring is Here, so I Thought I Could Wear My Big Bold Hair Flower

What do you think?

Is it too bold?

I must say I like it, but sometimes I wonder if I am the only person in the world who does! :)

I am at that stage of life, where I no longer worry (much) about what everyone else thinks. Although, I must admit, it would please me to no end to know that the rest of the world is not laughing hysterically at my latest hairdo.

This is what we had for dessert last night:

It was delicious!

I have not baked in quite some time. But really why should I bother when what I buy tastes better?

I think the last thing I baked was blueberry muffins, which I thought were terrible. I tried some Internet recipe which had a lot of brown sugar in it. I remember thinking that the brown sugar would make the muffins heavy............it did and I didn't like them at all.

This little cake is tasty and just the right size for two people. I may give up baking.
