My Sister Made Me Do It

A few weeks ago while talking to my sis on the phone she mentioned some bracelets she liked on sundance. They are funky leather bracelets at a precious price and she wanted one. Bad. My sis is has style. There are things she can do/wear that I can only wish I could pull off. The fun part about this conversation was, I had leather......

I have some butter soft leather left over from a project I have yet to show you. It's one for the all but defunct house blog. You know, the one I haven't posted on in two months. I'm busy, don't judge. Jess and I got together and made a few to try things out and maybe send a couple off to "someone"...

I'll be making more unless someone tells me to stop.

Half Square Triangle Pillow

Pillows seem to be the big thing right now. They are kind of irresistible. About a month ago (? time flies) I decided I needed a pillow for my guest room. I actually could use a couple of pillows because one looks kinda sad, like an incomplete thought, but you must start somewhere.

 

My finished HSTs are 2 inches. It's a bit crazy that there are, I think, 85 of them in this one small pillow.I used Kona cottons. I wish I had a color card because I cannot for the life of me remember what these fabrics are called and I really need some of the yellow! So who would like to come see me next? The room is ready!

It's all gone... and it's not a good thing

I haven't had my hair cut since May... because I am lazy and then because of Micah. I have always felt like I should donate to locks of love... Uber asked why and really I have no idea I just thought it sounded like a nice thing to do. So anyway this is the longest my hair has been in years so it was now or never... I'd been trying to hold off for as long as possible but I can't handle it anymore Micah has been using it as a rope and I don't like to wear it up.
So anyway here's the before:

And after:

I am happy to say it's done and I will never feel the urge to do it again! And no I don't like it AT ALL I probably set myself up for that because I have been DREADING today. So for all of you that I know hate  me with short hair- I am right there with you and I promise not to do it again! I seriously feel fatter with short hair- and that's not cool to someone who still hasn't lost all of the baby weight!

I am hoping to have something more interesting up in the next few days- Super bowl kind of took over the last few days- I'm not a football fan we just do a party every year. And I have been helping someone else with their projects so maybe she will show you what we've been up to... she's totally holding out on you guys!

I Decided to Give Up My Hair

 The last time I had my hair cut was back in June. It was an interesting cut, I had these sort of dog ears in the front and chopped layers in the back. I was not pleased. So I let it grow. Then I stopped paying attention to it. When I realized how long it was, I thought, for about the tenth time, that I should donate it to Locks of Love. Apparently about the same time Jess was thinking of the same thing. Soooo I continued to let mine grow.

Strange thing about me and my hair, the longer it gets, the more I fear letting it go. Even when I realize that I am not looking my best.

Today was the day. Jess and I went together and did it.

I know that my hair was beyond shaggy buuuuuuutttttt, I was not quite ready for this short. I haven't even looked at the back, it is really short. Really. I can't bring myself to look. In spite of never, ever, wanting to do this again, I'm really glad I did it this once. 

P.S. If anyone one of you tells me I look perky you'll be dead to me. Really. Not. Kidding.
