Summer Hair

I'm always looking for a quick way to get my sweaty, summer hair out of my face...enter: 8 pack of metal snap barrettes and overflowing basket full of fabric and ribbon scraps...

Using some heavy duty glue, I adhered the fabric/ribbon to the barrette, allowed time to dry, and trimmed around the edges. Needlefelted embellishments spruced them up a bit!

'Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy...'-The broadway musical (and my personal favorite) HAIR

  5. And here is me, having short hair for no other reason than it is too much of a hassle to grow it out. Actually, my hair is thick and curly and it gets so heavy and hot when it is longer. Truth be told, I have always longed for long hair but have never had it once in my life. Now I think I am way to old to grow it out. 45. Is that too old for long flowing hair?
