I get a lot of my hairstyle inspiration from Pinterest. There are some beautiful hairstyles on there, but I’m just not able to figure out how to do a lot of them on my own. Thankfully I have some awesomely hair talented friends, including Ashley who did this hairstyle for me.

I was going through my Pinterest boards the other day and was surprised at just how many of my pins I have tried over the past few months. I am surprised they haven’t made a way for you to document this on Pinterest yet, so I figured I might as well document my results somewhere!
I tried out the braided buns for a bridal shower I attended. I wanted something to that looked a little dressy, but not too dressy. Oh and something I could do myself, which was limited due the fact that my hands seem to get stupid when raised above my head. I’m pretty happy with this hairstyle’s interpretation on my curly hair. It is hard to photograph well, but this is a nice, cool hairstyle for summer that looks a lot more complicated than it really is.

Sam’s Turtle blanket is finally done! It’s been five years in the making, from what I can tell. I know for sure that I started it before we were married. We both think it was 2006 when I started the blanket. I thought it was going to be done about a year ago, but the hubby is a tall guy and therefore the blanket needed to be a little taller too. About two months ago, I went to buy more of the lighter green yarn to make it one more row wider, only to find that the color wasn’t made anymore. I guess that’s what you get when you work on a project for five years without having all of the yarn you need already purchased. The blanket still turned out to cover the hubby though, even without the extra row. And boy is it heavy. Apparently making a nearly six foot long blanket entirely of cotton yarn makes for a hefty lift. The hubby assures me he likes it though and that it was worth the wait!
Getting ready to block a couple of gifts. The JC that I pulled out seemed appropriate for the holiday weekend.
