Bait and Switch

Getting ready to take our sewing to the State Fair tomorrow!!!  After reading the judges comments, I know NOT to take one dress because I had rushed on the hem hand stitching...

I can read between their lines.... It looks like a 7 year old hand stitched it...  

No!  I get it!!!! 

I'm ok...

;P

A few of you commented on my daughters hair so I thought I'd give you a before and after of my daughter's decision to change the hair color of her youth...  She wanted to try something different that didn't involve anything permanent that she'd regret when she's older.  The senior pics were out of the way, so that wouldn't be affected.  She's a smart girl!

AND I think she may have been getting a little sick of blonde jokes...  BUT...  she's pretty good at flinging out those same jokes at the drop of a hat... so that might not be it.

It took a lot of convincing her father and he finally just threw up his hands and said "whatever..."

For me as a teen out of 7 (at the time) kids, my parents really didn't care what we did with our hair as long as they weren't going to have to go to therapy with us later about it.  I used Sun In.  Remember that stuff?  I don't even know if they make it anymore.  I was a dishwater blonde, a little darker, but one summer I used the Sun In to lighten things up.  I kind of liked the results!

At the end of the summer when I wanted to get a perm before school started, the hair dresser refused to give me one.  She took a clipping of my hair and dunked it in perming solution and it dissolved...  Yep.  I was almost a bald chick showing off the mole on the back of my head...  THAT would have involved therapy... I stuck with the straight as board hair for that year until it all grew out.

Anyway... BACK to Maddy's noggin'!

Before

After

 And then a week later at the fair.  Her hair color had lightened up a little and she looks a bit less like she's going incognito!
 But inside and out, she is still a beautiful girl.  
I love you Mad-girl!

You gotta let 'em stretch their wings. At least it's not a purple mohawk....

She's gorgeous. I remember using the Sun-In. It gave me reddish tints since my hair was brown. Thanks so much for stopping by.

I remember Sun-In! It gave me more orange then red streaks in my hair. But that was ok because it was so in style. Now when I see women with highlights, I remember what my hair looked liked back then, and know it's not the look for me.

I agree with slugmama!

Anna went dark on top for a while too. She made it permanent and it was hell trying to get it back to blond. We are still working on it!
