I'm gonna start with Barbie this week because my gumbo pic is from 2012, and um, let's just say it could use a little updating.
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 1st this year. And just like us, Barbie (and Ken) like to have a little holiday fun too... I picked up some Dollar Tree Mardi Gras necklaces, one set made cute masks, and the other was the perfect size for 1:6 scale saxophones! Imagine that, Barbie musical instruments for about 40¢ each:@)
All I did was hot glue a pipe cleaner as a stick or handle, and then embellish with glitter, sequins, and beads. Super easy:@)
The saxophones can be removed from the necklace, or you can shorten the necklace to fit around the doll's head.
And if you'd like to cook a little something in celebration, but don't want an involved project, may I suggest this Faux Gumbo. It calls for leftover chicken, some frozen okra, and some every day pantry items. Oh, and a little bacon fat is never a bad idea:@)
Laissez-les-bons-temps-rouler!
Make something just for fun and have a happy day:@)
You are so clever, Lynn, and do have such fun creating and crafting for Barbie and Ken!! Those masks and instruments from the Dollar store necklaces are so cute! They’re ready for Mardi Gras!

ReplyDeleteHooray for a new month! And for inching our way towards spring! Your faux gumbo looks perfect....I'd have to eat Bill's okra, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice, LOL!
