We did it!!

I donate my hair every couple of years. Not sure why it grows so crazy fast, but I eat pretty well and take care of it. I cut around 12 or 14" off, Birdie cut off 9". She asked me last year if she could donate with me, so we waited a year to cut. Wow, it was a long year, mine was really ready last year, but I wanted to experience this with her. And yes, that is the infamous tunic again - note the shorts this time, different color. But I am obsessed with it!

My hair will go to Locks of Love and hers will go to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Her teacher even let me come talk to the kids about it - it was so important and the kids were pretty interested in it. Birdie is like a mini-star at school this week. She is fortunate to be in a loving, kind class this year. SO sweet.

Father's Day is this weekend and we have a cook out planned here - hopefully the husband will have an enjoyable day. Birdie chose to buy him deodorant. Yes, you read that correctly. She is hilarious. I asked her what she wanted to get him, and she says "well, I sometimes see him putting this stuff under his arms..." LOVE that!!

Enjoy the day!

C-ya!

Finally

Finally posting, finally showing. I finished my oh so cute tunic made of the fabric from Bell Bottoms. I LOVE it and hope everyone else does too, because I will be wearing it alot. alot.

I thougt it was going to be more "purple" but it's really very blue. I wear black alot and hate blue, but this is ok for me. I'm a curvy girl so I don't know if the tunic look is the best on me - the top sort of falls straight down under the b@@b area, but in real life, you can tell I'm under there and it's a little more flattering than the pic. At least that's what my mirror told me. It also told me to get my tushie in the car - Jen Paganelli is having an event at her house this weekend so I must stock up my inventory!!!
I plan on making Birdie her own tunic or dress to match. I love when the minis match the moms, but not many people do that anymore. sad.

Birdie got the sewing bug yesterday too and made her dolls the cutest blanket on her Hello Kitty Janome machine. Let me say, this is really a great machine - it sews very well and is easy to use. The back stitch button is a little stiff, so I am needed there, but no worries.
C-ya!
