Came across this Sunday afternoon.....

Sunday night got busy...

(...after Jr decided to give me a 30 minute break from his fever)

I already had the squares cut out and leftover from a quilt I made years ago (did I ever blog that? I can't find a post, anyway....) I serged two rows of twenty squares together, then serged around the edges.

I was gonna hem it but I like the "deconstructed" look of it. I also thought about adding a backing of fleece or jersey, but decided to keep it light, I have enough winter scarves.

I am NOT a fan of nightwear as day wear, but this is really cute - and not so obvious!

warning

Here is a picture of what I cut off my head.

Doesn't look so pretty. LMAO!! People keep asking what I'm gonna do with it, which makes me LMAO even more. It's waste matter at this point so in the trash it goes...

Short hair, don't care

Here are the pics I promised (late, got the final haircut last night)

It was a shock initially, but I'm glad I went through with it.
I don't miss my locs at all, I just feel a little bare.

The extent of make-up for me is Maybelline Great Lash and Burt's Bees (clear) lip balm.
I let my co-worker talk me into colored eye liner so I'll be playing around with it soon. I have a bronze color on but it's not very noticeable - which is ok with me! As much as I love fashion I'm not into makeup at all -- except nail polish.
