New 'do, New Look... and an old toy!!!

First up,,,, new cut!!!! And I love it!

After awhile of dealing with hair that won't curl, won't go up, looks stringy down, hangs in my face, won't "poof" like I like in the back...

I decided it was more than time for a change.....
5 inches of less hair bringing me down....

I feel fabulous again!

The Bald Man was scared... to say the least. He actually freaked alittle when I showed him how short I wanted it... which was about 2 inches shorter than I got. My wonderful hair stylist, Todd, recommended this length... since I still need it long enough to go into a pony tail... for all my fake hair I love to wear! lol!
Bald Man Loves the hair sooo much though... and doesn't understand why I waited to get it cut??
hmmmm....

New New Look Pattern For me!

I love this coat! and I have the most perfect red tweed fabric for it!!!

Fall sewing is so fun! I can't wait to start on some more "me" sewing.....

Because I'm still working on the salsa dress for the lovely Rhythm dancer, Melanie. Which has to be done by Thursday... and her showcase is Friday! But No pressure!!! lol!!!

Halloween is coming up though!!!! and I have so much to do for our costumes!!!!!!! yikes!!!!

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures. I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn. I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets! For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with! The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...
