Make-over day

Well, I have done it. I got my hair cut today. I wanted to wait for it to be long enough to give to locks of love. It has to be 10 inches at the longest point. Mine was just 10 inches. My hair is pretty short now. I also had it permed. The girl I had do my hair cuts it for free if you are giving it to locks of love, then she takes your picture and puts it on her Locks of Love wall of fame. She is very involved in the Relay for Life also. Locks of love is where you donate your hair so they can make wigs for children who have lost their hair for medical reasons. I lost 2 cousins to cancer one was 3 yrs old and one was 33. I have a sister-in-law that had hodgkins disease when she was in high school, and my Dad had cancer. My grandpa had lung cancer and emphysema. My step father also had skin cancer. My dad and my sister-in-law are both survivors. So I look totally different now with short curly hair instead of long straight hair - my hair is pretty fine and thin and very straight, doesn't hold a curl very long. It's going to be nice to not have to put my hair in a ponytail or braids when I go to bed. If I didn't I would have a matted knot mess when I wake up. My hair snarles easily also.

I figure I don't have the cash to give, but I sure can give my hair!

I have gotten some rice bags done for the microwave heating pad. I have gotten one towel embroidered for it, and just need to sew the side seams. They are going to be nice, sure hope they sell!

I need to go to the hospital and see if they need any baby hats for newborns or premies. I have a lot of hats done for them.

I have been making a cute design for dishcloths to sell at the craft show. They look like little dresses. They are really cute and easy to do. It only takes me 1/2 hour to crochet one.

We had friends over to dinner last night. We were talking about craft shows, and how I would like to do the Lockport show but I would need a tent, because I cant be in the sun too long, and they said they have a 10x10 tent that they would let me use. He said he would put it up for me too. They are so nice!!! Her mother has an embroidery machine (a Brother) but doesn't quite know how to use it yet. I was showing her some of the things I have been doing. She does a lot of crafts too. It was a really fun evening.

Today we had the missionaries to dinner. They are sisters this time. It was really nice to have them and get to know them better. I figured since I was off of work this week it would be a good time, otherwise, I don't get out of work early enough to have them over to eat. 7:30 is kind of late to eat.

I will post pics of my new do, and the things I have been working on for the craft show soon.

I can't believe we have actually had rain two days this week. It is pouring out right now. It has been really windy today, but very hot. Even the wind was hot from the south. Then it turned around to the northeast and then came it was cool, then cam the rain. - no lightening or thunder though this time.

My husband had to go to the dentist today at UB, it is a dental school, so it is a little cheaper, but he had to go all day. He got home just in time to have dinner with us.
