I am LOVING Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

I'd Like You to Meet Rose ........

 I want to introduce you all to Rose!!

 This is how Rose looked when I first purchased her.......

 If you are interested in purchasing a dress form like this, please click HERE to visit Carol at The Polka Dot Closet.
She tells you where to buy this beauty ( only $20.95!) and how to alter it too!  Can you imagine that she was only $20.95 and that is with the stand. If you don't want the stand , the dress form comes with a hanger and is only $12.95!!

 Carol recently hosted the 2nd Annual Dress Form Ball if you would like to see all the other entries!!

I could not get my act together to have Rose finished by the Dress Form Ball but she is finished now!!

 I decoupaged music sheet paper onto her.....

 Then I added images that I cut out of an old Victorian style calendar......



               I used venice lace appliques and trim.....


A vintage earring on the neck line....

 I trimmed the edges of the entire dress form  with a braided gimp....



 " A Token of True Love"



 Pieces of venice lace for "sleeves".....

 Sweet images.....



 The other side......







 The bottom is trimmed with more venice lace and pink braided gimp.....


 And I love the base....

  Rose is finding a home in the Guest Room.

 I do have a few more changes that I have made to the Guest Room but I will be sharing that with you in a future post......

So what do you think of ROSE????

I have a million and one projects going on right now and I haven't finished any of them except for Rose .....

So I will have a lot to share eventually!! LOL!!

Just want to update you all on my Weight Loss Journey....
