What's the old saying that starts. . . "The best laid plans. . . " Sigggghhh - well that's how my day went. When I got up this morning I had every intention of getting a little work done on the ladies today. But I started browsing for a new hair-do's and - well - Big Mistake - 'cause an hour and a half later I had found a new hair-do - new color.
Still I didn't get any sewing done. Then I went to my hair appointment and since I was getting a total make-over it took longer than usual. THEN when it was done - it was the wrong color. Now my stylist and I usually communicate quite well - but she didn't actually think I wanted to change my color from my long standing red back to a brunette. Anyways - to make a long story longer - it had to be re done and it all took 5 hrs! Needless to say the ladies loved my hair but didn't get any attention from me.
But I did manage to get Sign 3 done this week and Sign 4 designed. I really do like the stitching and I'm happy with the way the project is going. Looking over my sign collection on pinterest, I'm really glad I took the extra time to research them properly. They all have some interesting merit. This week it was a statement on organized religion (along with a nice implied pun) - next its the environment.
I only have to work a half day on Friday - so I'll try to show the ladies some love then. I really do want to get the top done for Monday so I can get it sandwiched and quilted.
My New do?? I chose a brown that has a bit of an ombre effect-so it gradates out later to the ends. I mean gosh -we dye fabric that way-why can't we dye our hair?
So what have you been doing creatively?

Your signs are looking fabulous! Miscommunication is the worst - especially when it equals so much valuable time. Your hair does look lovely though!
Just found your blog today. Love your hair even though it was a hassle. What we do to look pretty! Like your signs. Really interesting. I'm off to check out the rest of your blog. Thanks for the linky party.
I had fun looking at the blogs on this post. And the work you are doing on the signs is fun and interesting. Thanks for connecting artists to each other.
Nina, Love your new hair color and your wonderful signs, especially the bird! Fields Closed is delightful and so funny. Made me smile. Thank you for sharing.
Your hair does look lovely! It reminds me of a child's whose hair starts out fair and if not cut will be lighter on the ends than at the scalp! The most recent sign - a very chilling sign of the times.
Thanks for the invite! I just linked up and am diving in to these wonderful posts.

I guess I am not going to manage this weekend, I have been fighting a bad head off and on. But maybe I can make a head start for next week once it eases off.

PS Do you ever wish there was a way to take your head off and wash it out and put it back on?
Yeah, silly question. ;0)
