My 1 year old niece!

My sister asked me to lock my niece's hair. She stays with us during the day so I was able to take my time. It took about 4 days to finish. It could have been a shorter time span, but no rush since she is home with us all day anyway. When we started them she was about 1 1/2 and now she is 2 years old. I have done 1 tightening and she is due for another soon. She always asks me to shampoo her hair and afterward like many of us she commences to swinging her hair. LOL These pics are from the initial installation.

Here's one more pic

How about my husband shampooed and twisted my hair. I know y'all jealous. LOL




I'd like to introduce you all to a sister that does some beautiful work. Mahogany homeschooler is her screen name on FB, but she is a true artist. I will be adding more pictures of her work, but in the meanwhile this is a picture of a simple copper piece. Here is her link http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?sterm=earths+finest&cb=8&name=hypersearch. Go check her out! You won't be disappointed.

Check these brothers out

Here are some brothers that I ran across on youtube. Even if you don't agree with every word they speak they are sure to make you think and that is the whole point. That is how we learn and discover truth...by questioning the established belief. http://www.youtube.com/user/redmoonrabbit98#p/u/0/wyRgwReHe94

Here is a link to the some tee shirts that they have created. Check them out if you like it buy it. If you don't at least pass the info on.

Lock Earrings

I split a 2 headed dragon the other day. I cut one of the heads off and made earrings out of it. I am going to post a pic whenever I can get more batteries for my camera. I wrapped them in red, black, and green thread. I think they are kind of cute, although one of my clients laughed at me. LOL Anyway, I wore them to belly dance class and thought I was a little flier than usual.

500 Years Later

Color Purple...Girls Night Out!

My Mom got us together to go see the play/musical "The Color Purple". When I tell you that it is marvelous, honey please believe me! I left the theater wanting to see it again!!! We had so much fun together. We need to do this more often. Oh and as a side note, my husband bought my outfit for me awhile back on his own and I must say...I wear it well. Big Daddy has good taste.

I forgot the take pictures when the food came to the table. It wasn't all mine, but I thought I'd share. LOL
