Well, we straightened the girls' hair last night. They now think that they can wear their hair down without worry as if they are little white girls with bone straight hair. Problem is...they aren't. Their hair is not the same as mine and their friends' even with the straightener in it. Madison wore hers in just a pony tail today and we will see in an hour or so how she feels about that when (and if) her hair is full of rats and hurts to comb. I was able to get Sierra to see reason and let me put it is a single braid. I also tried to get them to understand that they would be hotter with their hair down--even in a pony. There was no reasoning with them so I was out of luck.
I have seven of the ten Independance Day dragonflies done and will be starting on a few spiders along the same line. I hope to sell them at the Arts and Crafts fair at Patch on Friday, 4 July. Once can hope. I will of course have a bunch of other colors that day as well. One thing I forgot to mention about these little guys is that they look great as Christmas ornaments and all you need for that is some ribbon! The lights on the tree look really pretty. I am thinking about creating a small web for the spiders. I will know if I really want to do it if and when it gets done I suppose. I am just trying to keep it mixed up a bit so that I don't get bored with it. Of course I still have two different very large cross stitch projects to do AND a whole bunch of books that I bought during the school year to read over the summer when I had more time. So I have plenty to do that will switch it up, but maybe I will just take a nap :)

Your girls are beautiful! oh, girls and their hair! hehehe... my Maleah HATES me to even look at her hair, much less brush it. arrggg! I wanted to send a big thanks for the kind comment you left me! I'm so excited you've got a blog! And those dragonflies you make are SO beautiful! Love the spiders, too! Hope you have a great rest of your week! :)
Thank you! Of course I have only seen your eldest, but you can ask Jennifer, I still say how pretty she is :) My girls don't like us to touch their hair either so it's normal. I remember the problem with my mom too! The crying and screaming and her finally cutting my hair in a bob when I was 8. You are welcome for my comment. I am glad you like the spider and the dragonflies. I love making them.
