Freyja's Friday.......... starting to think Spring!!


   Even though we're having a cool spell right now, it was up past 80 degrees F just a few days ago. So I'm thinking Spring!  As usual I dig into my moonglow box and see what color beads I have. hahaha  These are such lovely soft shades of green.  Perhaps I should combine some of the floral colored beads with them. Pinks, yellows, blues, purples and maybe even a little bit of red!
    Yep, that sounds like a great idea to me!


   And then I found this necklace with these delicate little plastic and rhinestone blossoms! So cute. As usual, I'll need to make an extender for it.


   And, of course, as I was trying to photograph the jewelry I had cats attempting to help me! Maynard was quite miffed that I didn't appreciate his assistance. I told him that unless he would sit still and actually WEAR the necklaces.... then "no", I didn't need his help. Pawing at the pieces and trying to run off with them is definitely NOT what I consider helpful!

Yes. Today I shall wear red.


   Oh, the color red! I've always loved it... but rarely wore it. And then it was usually as an accent piece. But every once in a while I'll go crazy with it! Today being one of those days.
   Found the hat at the local thrift shop. Its wool and velvet, made by Scala for the Red Hat Society. Have found several from that group in the last few years, but this is the first one that I actually liked.  It has just the right amount of decoration for this color!
   As you can tell, I'm trying to photograph myself again! Not easy, let me tell you! Especially with my short arms! hahahaha    Anyway, for the whole outfit I paired old blue jeans with a bright solid red button-up blouse and then overlayed with a tunic blouse (light jacket?) in black with red florals. Added red moonglow and white rhinestone earrings and, of course, SCARLET lipstick! hahaha 
    Will have to send this one over to Style Crone's Hat Attack. I just LOVE that she does that every month!
