After:
This is the darkest my hair has ever been. I love it. We had fun, made yummy sandwiches (with avocado!), and I knit while she played Katamari (she's addicted). It's been a good day.
Last night, I found a nice fabric to line Square Cake with.
I wanted something delicate and dainty, since it is such a special occasion. Here's the progress so far:
I've only got about 10 more rows before the handles, so I'm feeling pretty good about my deadline.
Finally, here's some other fabric I've purchased in the last week:
Fat quarters I purchased on etsy (along with two half-yards of fun fabric).
I also bought this gorgeous print, which I plan to use for a dress or shirt. I'm sort of embracing yellow and orange, which I used to think washed me out.
I love your hair! The color is so striking on you. Square Cake is looking gorgeous too. I think it's going to make a really fabulous gift.
ReplyDeleteOkay, first thing I'm going to do is really chew your mother out for not telling me just how talented you are. Of course, I would probably just think she was bragging like most moms do, but boy, you are talented! Love your knitting. I usually crochet, but mainly because it takes way toooo long to knit! Looking forward to seeing what you embroidery, too. I cheat...I have an embroidery machine.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new hair color!

Hi, Jacey. This is Jennifer, Cyndy's daughter. I really enjoyed looking at your blog. You are really crafty! Your knitting is beautiful. I can't believe how much you look like your mother!
ReplyDeleteI was about to comment on how I missed out on experiences like this because I don't have a sister... then about a dozen memories of cutting, dying and chemically straightening my brother and his friends' hair came flooding back to me. I'm sure it's not quite the same, though. At least I hope not. ;)
