Wrapping Up The Weekend

I can't stop taking pictures of the babies!

Tonight, we had sushi. I don't know what to say about sushi. I keep trying. I did like the octopus salad, if I didn't look at the tentacles. It's the seaweed that throws me off.

Tomorrow, I begin to ventilate. I have mostly all of my wig making materials, except for the magnifying lamp. The lace is wonderful (I won off ebay, a whole yard, for $29, which sells elsewhere for $88 or more), I have the pins, the clips, everything. I do need new needlenose pliers, and a plastic organizer. I will walk to the post office tomorrow, to mail a book to Rex, then I will come home and get started. I do need to make a template of my head, but I have a unit on my head... hmmm... I would like to make a workstation eventually, but the apt is too small. A desk where I can have a hackle and my light with a power strip, and storage space. I'm so excited.
I'm going to start by adding lace to the back of my units, then ventilating it.

This is going to be a good week.

The Babies Are Wearing Me Out!!!

The babies are wearing me out. I can't stop taking their pictures:


My supplies are trickling in. The hair and the drawing cards came yesterday. I'm waiting on the magnifying lamp, straight pins, and hammer. I have enough clips, so I don't need anymore. I just need lace and the blue paper. Nrrrlkl (my adopted teacher) says I can use any type of paper. I'm thinking wrapping paper. I won't order the lace until next month. I wish the fabric stores sold the type of lace we need.

She's Crafty!

It's project day! Andrew has turned our kitchen into a microbrewery, and I've immersed myself into becoming a wig master. My canvas head, needles and needle holders came yesterday. The needles are so tiny:





I got the canvas head and needles/holder from His & Hers (www.hisandher.com). The ventilation video is great. They teach you four types of knots: single, double, split, and double split knots. The rest of my supplies should be coming within the week: a set of drawing cards from His & Hers; virgin indian and virgin malaysian hair from Rex; straight pins, tack hammer, magnifying lamp, and clear thread from Amazon.com; I still need swiss lace (from ebay) and blue craft paper (from Beverly's). I need to fill in the bald spots on my CLW virgin indian. The first two full wigs will be mine. Then I'll make up about 5 to start off with. Only virgin indian and virgin malaysian.

I like my hair today:



I keep going to the Nexxus Humectress bottle, because it has a pump. I'm running out though... and the bottle was around $32. I'm going to use the Mane N Tail in the pump bottle next. I'm making a promise to myself to use up all my conditioners before I buy something new. Yesterday, I was able to part it down the center, spray it with my conditioner/water mixture, and with the Denman 7, brush it into two low curly puffs. I didn't take pictures. I'm loving the versatility.

I'm going to take a nap!
