Thursday's Adventures

I can't help it. When they're not fighting, they're always posing.

I braided my hair up for my next application, but also to make a head template for my first attempt at making a wig from scratch. I think this is my best braid job thus far:





The object is to keep my hair braided for as much as I can. I'm on such a great growth surge. I'm back on the Biotin, but I don't know if it's doing anything.

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.

Meet My New Babies!

Cygnus
Lyra

Both names taken from a Rush song. Cygnus was pre-named, but Lyra, well, we had to see what her personality was. Lyra is so sweet and nurturing, and Cygnus is spicy, curious and playful.
