Music Spa Towel Wrap

 

Musical notes are spread out all over the towel wrap. This one is embroidered with white notes on a black terry cloth background. This design was inspired by a friend of mine that loves music and plays guitar. Spa wrap has a Velcro hook loop closure in the front. Elastic in the back provides comfort and allows to expand for a proper fit without it falling down. Towel wraps are wonderful to use at the beach, pool side, sitting and putting on make up or just drying off getting out of the tub.

Measurements

Small/Medium = 30-37" Bust and up to 44" Hip.

 Medium/Large =  33-52" Bust and up to 68" Hip

Plus Size =  52-88" Bust and up to 100" Hip

Top to Bottom is 29"

MEOW!!

New Bathing Suit

I started rehab on my arm and back this week. I was referred to pool therapy. The pool is low impact on the body. The density of the water makes your movement slow and is in itself weight resistant. I can't wait to start. Getting into a nice warm pool without children running around sounds so wonderful.

Well if I am getting into a pool I need something to wear. The last bathing suit I bought I was a 19 year old size 6. That was so long ago. Now I am a plus size woman. How did that happen? 

As a recovering cancer survivor I need to find something to accommodate my breast expander and hide my mastectomy scars. I have breast expander in until I can have surgery to put in my implants later in the year. I can't have a top that uses my boobs to hold up the bathing suit. It hurts to much in that area. I needed something that ties and has some support.

After going through quite a few suits and being drawn to those really cute ones, only to find out that they don't come in my size. I finally found this bathing suit top that I liked. It is black lace halter top. I bought black so I can buy bottoms in different colors. This swim suit top fits me really well. It hides my tummy and it provides me with the breast support I need. Plus, I love how it makes me feel like a woman again. That is something that is hard to get back after cancer. It is the perfect top for me under $20.00

Rose Spa Towel Wrap

This is the rose spa towel wrap with a pink rose on grey terry towel.The towel wrap has a Velcro, hook and loop closure on the front. It has an elastic band in the back to insure a nice comfortable fit without the worry of it slipping down in the front. Towel wraps are great at the beach or pool side.

My Dollar Store Challenge - Feather Christmas Tree

I started this craft project before Christmas 2012. I really wanted one those feather Christmas trees that I kept seeing all over the place. I thought I could make one no problem. Yeah right!!

This is what I was trying to achieve. hahaha

I bought a triangle shape form and bags of white feathers from Dollar Tree.

This is the what my project turned out looking like. 

I think I failed the challenge.

I  think I will sit down and try to figure it out and try again.

MEOW!

My New Purse

I don't buy myself clothes or extras very often. I haven't bought anything like this for a long while. I saw this beautiful color sitting on a shelf and I had to go look. It turned out to be this rather large purse. I don't normally buy large purses but I couldn't pass this one up.

I love how bright this lavender is. It just brightens my day. I usually like my hands free and this one has two large shoulder straps. The material is so soft and pliable to the touch. I just love the feel of it.

I realized after I got home how much stuff I need to carry with me now. My medicines, Diabetes meter, my phone, my i-pad to read books and keep track of my Doctors appointments. There is a lot that doesn't fit in a small purse anymore.

There are two large pockets on the outside of the purse. They make up the front and back of the purse. The pockets go all the way down to the bottom. They close with a magnetic button at the top.

Then there is the main part of the purse that has this long zipper across the center. There are three more small pockets inside. One for the phone, one for your sunglasses and of course what would a purse be if it didn't have that small zipper pocket to hold make up or loose change. Not bad for a purse under $40.00. I found it at Target.

I guess I finally graduated to the big girl purse. =)

New Scarf to wear

I don't normally spring and buy clothing for myself. I can't really afford it. I saw this scarf in the store and just fell in love with the soft aqua color. The way the linen flows. I bought a new scarf to wear on my head. After cancer treatment all of my hair fell out and I've been wearing scarves and hats since.

I love the aqua color of this scarf. It has these little tiny ribbons of sequin running through out the scarf from top to bottom.

The scarf is made of a very light weight linen with a small fringe on the edge. It will be great for those soon to be hot days of summer. This scarf is an infinity scarf so I will be cutting it apart at the seam and surging the edges so I can tie it on my head.

Meow!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Happy Mothers day to all those moms out there,

from all of us silly, wayward kids.

Peacock Spa Towel Wrap

Just finished with a customer request for a fan tail peacock on a spa towel wrap. The spa towel wrap can be used as a cover up for the beach, pool, after showering or just plain sitting while applying make-up.

The fan tail peacock is embroidered on the the lower right side front of the towel.

There is a lot of room in this wrap. It has a full back so it allows easy and comfort.

 The peacock feathers are embroidered in blues and greens with a soft beige feather shaft. The peacocks body is embroidered in blues, purples and greens with golden yellow legs.

 The front of the towel wrap has a Velcro  hook and loop closure at the top.

I used a white terry cloth for the toweling but you can select the color you want from the color chart. 



 


There is an elastic in the back to allow for comfort while wearing. The elastic has a lot of give to it without slipping down.

 Measurements

Small/Medium = 30-37" Bust and up to 44" Hip.

 Medium/Large =  33-52" Bust and up to 68" Hip

Handmade Buttons

I've decided to add my handmade buttons to my etsy design store. These are the buttons I have so far that I think I will sell. 

This is one of my versions of a daisy.

Pink Bouquet. This one is my favorite so far. I love the pink flowers against the green.

This one is called a cartwheel. I've worked it up in yellow and white.

This is called a shirtwaist button. It was my first attempt. There are a few mistakes. I need to practice this one a few times before I start to sell it.

This is what I call the woven one. I use this one to embroider a design on top of the center. This one I made to embroider something nautical on it.

This is another version of the cartwheel button in dual colors. I like how the pink works off of the black.

These are just a few of the buttons I have done in the past and plan to start selling in my shop.
