Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

Warning
Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.



I still can't see very well so I printed  Sheepski digi stamp Emmy's Hat onto white card and coloured with chalks and markers, then scanned and reduced down to fit on my card. 
Added We are 3 papers from Watercolor Strokes and April Showers paper sets
We are 3 sentiment from You Know sentiment set

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

  12. That lady is ready for summer in her cool hat. You can't get too much sun, can you? And that Red Hat poem reminds me of my mom. It is a special one for her. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks for joining us at Try It on Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
