Haircuts and Wizardry

I should know by now that salons are not for me. It seems that whenever I have my hair cut by an official "stylist", I end up with something that echoes the mullet-- not necessarily a full on mullet-- more like a nod to the mullet. Longer in the back and shorter in the front. Hmmm. Is it me? Am I the inspiration for these stylistic blunders? We inevitably end up fixing my hair at home. This requires help from Benb-- mostly because I can't reach around to trim up the "party in the back". With my most recent cut-- which had a Dorothy Hamill thing going on-- he had to take off almost two inches. Oh geez. So now we both have Summer hair (Benb's hair was cut by me about a week ago) and it feels good, despite the fact that we haven't had much in the way of Summery weather. I didn't intend to go on and on about hair...

A project is happening slowly. I'm making a tunic/dress out of this gray cotton. I screwed up a bit on the tucks. I don't really know what happened there. Anyway, I just have the front bands to finish up, buttons to sew on, and buttonholes to make. You will get to see it in its completed form in the future.

And like so many others, we are now reading book seven-- well, taking turns reading it. Part of me wants to savour it and part of me wants to devour it. The turn taking approach should help me to maintain a healthy pace.

Oh and check out the delicious color of this lily that is now blooming. What beauty??!!!!
