.......I have been adding a bobble row to my blanket, which is surprisingly slow going. Hope to finish it off tonight and get a few more rows hooked down.
The day has been busy with my nieces birthday and dropping the older boys at their social engagements..........and getting my mane chopped into something more manageable.
I had forgotten how nice it is to get your hair cut.........
.....This is the before photo, I usually keep my hair tied up, so I hadn't realised just how long it had got, (only really notice how long it is at night when I wake up being strangled by it), definitely time for a make over.......
......and here is a little peek at the new me with short hair.... I feel like I've shed about 5 kgs! I am a big fan of the 'don't do things by half' rule, so it feels great to look so different.
(I have just broken my 'no pictures of me on the blog' rule, oops, as you can see I don't really resemble my knitted avatar, but never mind, now you can put a face to my ramblings)
Hope your day is going creatively, you can see what other peeps are up to over here.
see you soon!
Loving that blanket! And your hair looks great too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day x
Looking goood! It's such a relief to get rid of the hair sometimes isn't it?! Mine alternates between really long and really short and has done so all my life. I'm in a getting long phase right now. I cut it dramatically short when Little Miss B was in her hair yanking stage. Little Miss T is now in that stage, but I'm going to persevere this time!

I adore the blanket - colours, pattern, just everything looks so lovely! And for the hair - a change is as good as a holiday my mum always says to me. Love it. Enjoy your weekend.

The blanket looks soooo lovely! I'm also a fan of "visible" haircuts - you know, not like those haircuts, where you come home and your boyfriend says "WHAT did you pay for that??? You look just like before!" I hate those conversations, maybe I need a real haircut soon, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blanket! Is it cotton?
ReplyDeleteLoving the look of your blanket, the colours are great. check out my blog or major bobble blanket! And yes it takes forever!!
ReplyDeleteNice hair do too!
Great looking blanket - love the bobbles!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the haircut!
It looks great!
Love seeing the progress of your stunning blanket. And I always think a radical haircut is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteWow Jules...........that's one heck of a haircut, it loos great.You'll be able to shampoo and dry in minutes rather than hours now.
ReplyDeleteYour 'before' pic reminds of No.1 a few months ago. His hair was about the same length till the hairdresser got a little too enthusiastic with the scissors......... It's just below his shoulders now and I think he was in shock for a couple of days, hehehe...........but it's sooooo much easier to manage.
Love the bobbles in your blanket, it's looking good.........
Have a great weekend,
Claire :}

ReplyDeleteFabulous chop there is nothing like a new hair do to boost the spirits. The blanket is super dooper I love it.
ReplyDeleteI think that blanket is going to be the best - a real stunner. And unique too. Would love to know what stitches you used so I can be a copycat! It's beautiful - the combo of stitches and colours are gorgeous; the bobbles are great. Lovely hair too. It really suits you.
