The BIG Cut!


After two months of heat, I decided it was time to make the "big cut."  Honestly, it was almost spontaneous.  In the past, I've scheduled my hair appointment weeks in advance.  I'd go to the store and purchase a couple of hairstyle magazines, then leaf through them selecting several hairstyles I might choose.  Then, I'd mull over those hairstyles choosing which parts of each one that I liked and wanted for my new 'do.

But, this time around?  I called the day before my appointment, printed off a picture I saw online, and headed out the next day with Jon in tow to take pictures.

10" tail cut off!
Thankfully, (and probably selfishly) I was making a Locks of Love cut.  So, I knew how much was coming off and how short my hair would be after the "big cut."
 

When she started the "real" cut, she gradually took off more and more until we came to the final result.  I think it helped me to get used to how short it is now.  We kept looking at the picture and I kept saying that I liked the length in the picture, but I think she knew it would be a huge shock for me. 


Here's the finished result!  Super Short!  Much shorter than I've gone in years!  And, I love it!  Can't you tell?  I have a weird face in this picture ... but I guess that's pretty much normal, right?

It looks great Marisa!!! I got my hair cut a few weeks ago as well and I didn't have her cut it as short as I normally do and now I kinda wish I had. This summer heat, though not nearly as bad here as where you are, has been hard to deal with. Thankfully the weather has cooled off for now. You really do look great!!

Blogiversary

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!

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

(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...
