Hair and Quilt


After all summer of growing our hair out, and telling everyone that we are going to give it to a girl who doesn't have any, we finally cut off our hair.  I asked Ady if she wanted to grow her hair long again.  She said no.  I admit that I am not minding having short hair either. I think she is enjoying not having to go through the brushing of her long hair a lot!  It has been really great to teach Ady about giving of ourselves when we can.  She is really excited about giving Christmas presents too.  Now if only Brock would catch on.  We went to the store yesterday to buy a couple presents for their cousins, and all Brock would say is "No! I want a present for me." 


I actually finished this quilt for our bed quite a bit earlier this year, but I just finally got around to taking a picture of it....So here is my project.  I like it.  It has also cured any thought of being domestic for quite a while, maybe longer.  I did use my Mom's quilter and I thought it was harder than it looks. Most of the reason to make this was so I could try her machine(and to have a quilt that actually fits my bed). I ended up free handing it and just making small squiggles and loops as you can see in the close up below.   I need to also thank Adam's Aunt Joy and Uncle Karey, my Mom and Aunt Cindy for helping me get this done!  They are all way more talented at this than I am.  Thank you for sharing your talents.
