Throwing Caution to the wind.........

Women love their stylist. You put a certain level of trust into their hands and scissors when you plop down in that chair, and a good one will take you in looking frazzled from a long day at work, look at your limp, product laden hair, pulled back tight in a hair band (poor containment system) smile, ask how you have been, put a glass of wine in your hand and go to work. When you leave, you feel as if you could walk down the red carpet at the Grammys. That's a good stylist. I have maintenance issues with my hair. Truth be told, styling my hair is tedious and I put it right up there with sewing knit pieces together (seriously hate that) I've been known to let my hair go long enough that it looks as if took a hiatus and lived in the jungle for a few months. Then I make an appointment and lop it all off. This time I switched to a whole new salon because at my old salon I cancelled my last three appointments and felt a certain level of embarrasment. Doing a search online I turned up the split end salon, and they offer stylist profiles........here is the profile for my new stylist, Jill T.
Jill T.
I have been at THE SPLIT END SALONS since 1998.
I have been licensed since 1997.
I enjoy foiling, coloring and cutting. I attend various classes through out the year to keep up on the latest trends and fashion.
I like to knit, read, watch NASCAR races and spend time with my friends and family.
I didn't make that up, she does enjoy knitting and nascar! Crazy right?
So, in I go, plop down in the seat and 8 inches later I have a new do that barely fits in a pony tail. My head feels as if it lost 10 lbs, maybe I should have weighed myself before and after? hmmmm maybe next time but I doubt I'll publish the numbers.
I'm still working on a few things.
1. Fatima's Shawl
2. The Baby Sack
3. Other mysterious baby items :)
I'll try and take some progress photos tonight for you to see tomorrow......

Here's to a better hair maintenance schedule Jill.......... Love my summer do!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
