Girly Hairdos

Kate, with four-strand criss-crossed braids into pigtails


I have a couple of neighbors who noticed a list that I'd put on my blog earlier of girl hairdo blogs that I look at. Well, something happened when I was playing with the layout of my blog and I lost all of those links on the left. My friends asked about them again, so I thought I'd post again all of the hair blogs that I've looked at. Truly, there are some amazingly talented women out there when it comes to doing their daughters' hair! Here are some of my favorite hair do ideas:

Four-strand Braid (I've really been into this one recently, and it's really fun, too!)

Cool Braid

Fancy Messy Buns

Woven Pig-tail Buns

Tween Twists

As you can see, I really like braids and messy buns. Although, I have yet to find a way to keep a messy bun from falling out of Kate's hair. When her hair was shorter it would stay in just fine, and now that her hair is longer the elastics slide down the bun away from her head and then the buns just flop all over the place! The only bun that I've been able to get to stay in her hair is one that I did for Halloween, and both Eliza and Kate (okay, me too) LOVE this bun!

Anyway, here's a list of the hair blogs that I have bookmarked and look at frequently (in no particular order; and, these aren't all the ones out there by far!), just in case you want to check them out:

She sure has thick hair! I don't know that I'll ever be able to do that with my girls' hair -- they don't have enough and it doesn't grow nice and thick...But when they do have hair like that, I'm sure going to try some of the neat hairdos that I've seen on those blogs! :)

The girly hairdos are awesome. Charlotte will barely even let me brush hers. However, Emma would LOVE it if I tried something like that in her hair. I wonder how hard it would be to do on curlier hair...

Thanks for the websites, I'll have to check those out.

You are so sweet. Thank you. And great job on that heair do! I chopped Nikyla's hair. I haven't posted it yet, but we went short. Not boy short, but so short we can't pull it into a pony tail. And thank you for the reinvite. I think I mostly just lost the link when I reset my computer.

Thanks for the websites...I found one once and forgot to bookmark it and have been to lazy to google. I don't know how you do it Marisa...cooking, braiding hair, and just doing the Mom thing with a newborn. You deserve a spa day soon I think! :-)

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
