Sharing our Gifts

November 7th, 2009 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 5 Comments »

We’re beginning to receive items for the current Sharing our gifts project. This brainchild of Sinclair’s – to do a knit/crochet project in each of the states – is taking off in a good way. If you’d like to help in this or any of the future projects I strongly encourage you to do so. It is so much fun to bring smiles to faces in such a tangible manner.

Thanks, everyone! Check out the goodies we have to date . . .


Received a pair of child’s mittens today. Thanks, Laura!

We also have Kae’s hat and mittens,

and the following have been made by me:
green and blue infant’s hat and thumbless mitts

mulit-colored blue child’s hat with braided tail

blue & green child’s hat and mittens

Just back from my “every six weeks” appointment with my hairdresser. We are counting down the days to my 60th birthday . . . my next appointment with her will be my last as a 59 year old. 😉 Our conversation, of course, went to how can we change it up a bit to celebrate the big SIX OH?

I have a lot of hair – according to Ms. R – but the one troubling aspect of it is that it is very, very, VERY fine. So, layers are out really . . . unless I want to spend time with lots of product to make it stand up, curl up, lie in a certain way, etc.

Yeah, I’m not one to take a lot of time with my hair – neither is my hairdresser (with her own – she tells me she doesn’t even use mousse on her hair). We are blow it dry and head out the door type gals.

So, I am pretty much “stuck” with a bob-type do . . . bangs to cover the high forehead, etc. This time she did cut the back a bit shorter than the sides, giving it a newer bobbed look. 😉

Thing is . . . I fully trust her with my hair. She has the freedom to cut it in whichever way she thinks will work best for my hair and my lifestyle.

Thanks, Ms. R!!!! I appreciate you muchly.
