Wanna see a partially knit doll?

Well you’ll have to click the link, a necessity for the purpose of secrecy. But, hey! It’s a good picture at least! This is the future Christmas present of a certain Veronica June.

In other knitting news, check out what I picked up today, here. (Except for you, mom. You can’t look). Isn’t it gorgeous? I think I want to knit one, maybe after the first of the year. Anyone want to do it with me? It looks like Elann carries the yarn sometimes, but they’re out right now.

Yesterday, Veronica and I went to the LYS and played with a spinning wheel for a couple of hours. It was fun. I want one. It looks like Jessica and I are going to take a class to learn how to do it. Anyone else want to join? Like, Hayden? Maddie maybe? How ’bout you, Sharlyn? It isn’t for a few months. C’mon, girls! Succumb! (Nothin’ like peer pressure).

I’ve needed a haircut for many months now. My beautiful friend, Rosalind, came over last night to borrow some cookie cutters (because I own them all) and gave me a great one. Olivia, who has been waffling in her desire to cut hers off decided that she now needed hers cut just like mine. Sweet Rosalind obliged.

Then Veronica got in on the game. Veronica has never had a haircut, ever, in her 3 1/2 years on the planet, other than her grown out bangs. She still had her baby curls at the very bottom of her long, golden tresses. Sigh.

Well, I have a tradition with my daughters. Their first ever haircut happens like this….. I brush it. I put it in a ponytail at the base of their neck. Then I WHACK it off and trim the remaining hair into a cute little wedge-bob. This enables me to keep this,

forever and ever. If you’d like to see the before and afters, click the link.
