O for Ornament and P for Plastic and Pantyhose

April is still playing me like a fool!  I had a job interview went well-I got the job.  Today was Orientation-I went and it wasn't on the schedule and the boss had taken the day off.  I asked is this his usually day off-no!   Perhaps I made a mistake and I'm scheduled for tomorrow-no!  It is a baking job, early morning part time, type gig, so I can still see my daughter perform.  It will sort of satisfy the culinary aspects I have longed for.   I am suppose to go with a friend downtown tomorrow and put some of my art in a new shop.  You will love the name, Two and a Half Women :D  Yet, I'm suppose to keep one doily pouch reserved, for a new friend.   I have emailed her a couple of times-but still no word on which one?! 

My daughter has a job and we went to open a new bank account. She has an account in another town, but it isn't convenient.  I pick her up after school and we go to the local bank.  We get to the bank, all kinds of computer glitches.  I leave with that nagging feeling, something is wrong.  Daughter says "Mom I didn't get the email to initiate my online account.  Next day,  I have to call the bank.  Now we get Debit cards, but no pass word.  Again have to call the bank.   I called the Senior Center to volunteer my time to do  art. I have a meeting-the director calls and cancels.  I had rearranged my schedule and cancelled another appointment to attend?!  Such is life-I felt bad, their AC needed repair.
 
I ordered blank cards to make samples for a shop downtown and they sent me the wrong size???    What is going on?   Have I fallen into Wonderland?  

So, O is for outrageous....I mean ornaments!   These are made out of cookie cutters.   I have them in my kitchen.   You use can use regular cookie cutters and/or vintage.  I printed handwritten recipes on iron-on paper.  You pick the fabric you want to use. I ironed my recipes onto sheer curtains.   I used Aleene's Tacky glue to adhere the sheer fabric-it blended with the ink, and gave it a turquoise look.  Cut a heart out of card board(I think these were Starbuck coffee sleeves) and paint red.   I used a 1942 font to type out words, with a vintage feel.     Endless options!   

     * Add spices you like.   They smell really great~

 *  Here I added Anise Stars.  I like the vintage look~

P is my favorite!  Out of all of the things I have recycled-this one really looks glam!

I cut a sleeve out of a water bottle bottle.  Yes, wash the bottle first, peel off the paper and dry well.  I gathered panty hose and glued it on my plastic  cuff.  I added a vintage flower.   I am a huge fan of Broadwalk Empire.  I think my cuff has a 1920s feel.   Wait till you see what I did with the waist band-saving that for W    ;D     Do you watch Broadwalk Empire or Downton Abbey?     I am watching Downton Abbey now!  

Yes, plastic can look really swell~
