I love skull caps!  I have 3 or 4, but the elastic is so tight it dents my forhead and gives me a headache if I wear it too long.  Do you use elastic in yours?  Got any pics?? (hint hint)

that's the beauty of my scull caps.  I don't use elastic in them.  THe yarn I use gives a little so they fit without giving you a mark or a headache!  I so desperately want to get a digital camera so I can post pics.  I'll plead and be my sister to take a few pics and have my B I L e-mail them to me so I can try to get them on here or I'll try to e-mail them to you.  Smiley  I've got 5 or 6 done so far and will be finishing another tonight.  I think they look good on women,I've done pink,mint green,grey,white and when the yarn comes in I'll do black,red and navy blue!  My hands are gonna hurt!!!! Oh,they are for sale too!! If you're interested let me know!

Well, I went to my sister's and B-I-L's today and we all swnt to see The Illusionist with Edward Norton  and Jennifer Biels.  Excellent movie!!!!  We then went back to the house to have Japanese food,another excellent thing to do!  THEN my B-I-L downloaded 9 pics to my e-mail,(My hair before and after henna and indigo)scull cap pics and pup and me.  I checked my e-mail and they are not here!!!!!!!! Angry Angry  I saw the man download then and the complete notice on his computer!!!!!!!!  I am so fustrated with these pictures.  This is a major major hint to get my own digital camera and software to download pics and post them.  I'm gonna have to shop around.....................
On the hair frontier,since it rained all day I kept my hair in a single braid and prayed the frizzies would not be too bad.  All in all I think the henna and indigo have really helped on that end.  More later!
Oh and the mailman came by on a Sunday with a package from Japan for me!!  It was the samplaes of Camillia oil!  I can't wait to try all of them!  The packaging was so nice,too.  There's a piece of origami in there and it's just nice to see how things are sent from another part of the world.

Did your BIL download the pictures to your computer, or did he email them to you?  Could he email the pics to me, then I can put them where you can access them on the internet.  We MUST get these pictures!!  Grin

UPDATE:  I got the pics and have emailed you the links to them.  Great pics!

Ok,as soon as I learn what to do with them,they'll be up for everyone to see the before and after henna and indigo pics!
On the hair front, I used a new shampoo bar,Summer Sunshine and did a vinegar rinse and then used Jessie's Shea Moisturizing Conditioner(?)hey,when you're battling a headache and "Aunt Flo" don't blame me if the names are wrong!!
I then used the Camillia Oil and put my hair up in a bun with a hair fork. The Graydog hairforks work well with wet or damp hair.  My hair feels good and I'll let ya know about the Camillia Oil. I have no doubts that will be a new favorite! Smiley

Update time!!!
The Summer Sunshine shampoo bar worked out well,I like it.  The Camillia Oil is one of my new favorites! Grin  I got a lot of shine from it and my hair felt good.
As for other things,I have been sewing and crocheting so much my eyes burn and my hands are tight.  Either that or my MS is acting up some more and the most inappropreate (?) times!  SO what else is new? lol  I'm almost done with the satin lining that goes in the granny square pocket book that I crocheted.  Came out nice.  So far I think I'll have 4 or 5 winter ponchos,2 summer ponchos,6 or 7 scull caps,maybe 5 scarves and a couple of hats.  Like I said I am beat!!!  I hope to get another scarf or 2 done before the sidewalk flea market sale on the 9th.  I really am praying that I at least break even or alittle better.  The next church flea market is in November.  I'll do that one too.  Oh I'm also going to have a raffle for an aphgan I crocheted.  I figure at $5 a chance with a minimum of 8 people entering;I'll cover the cost of the yarn to crochet it.  It's a combination of a purple and a green together.  It really came out nice,surprsed me since I had not made one before.  I did one for my grandmother and my mother last October.
Ok enough of that !  Back to the hair,I did a measurement yesterday morning and came in at 32 inches so I'm happy.  I'll be really excited if I get to 34 inches by 1/1/07  All in all the hair is behaving since the henna and indigo.  My avatar is of the "after" .  WHen I figure out if and when the cut and paste mission will work,I'll put more pics up.
Later!!

Since we are getting the reminants of Hurricane Ernesto(like we need anymore rain Shocked)  I washed my hair this morning with No More Tears shampoo by Ouidad,conditioned with Jessie's Shea Moisturizing Conditioner and used Camillia oil all over.  I really like this oil,it's a nice change from the mix I made up.  The henna and indigo I think have made a change also.  I was alot more curlier before,but drier,too.  So I think I'll take the shinier,more moisturized hair!  Instead of keeping my hair down to dry I put it up in a bun with two hair forks.  Both waterproof,a GrayDog and one from Blondiesturn.

Where does the time go? Roll Eyes  Not much has been happening since I last logged in,except I've been to the vet 2x,did the flea market(we won't go there,people are soooooooo cheap!!!) alittle bit of this and alittle bit of that!  Hair is fine,nothing ultra fantastic.  I think I'll be doing the henna and indigo again,I'm seeing grey coming through.  This time I'll use 200 grams of indigo and either 50 or 100 grams of henna.  I still don't have my hair as dark as I'd like it.  I'm too fair to go raven black without looking like something from a horror pic;otherwise I'd go pitch black......I've gotta stop mulling over that Shocked Grin  anywho,I'm still crocheting and my brother told me that one of the guys he works with wants to see my skull caps.  I'm not one to wait on that either,I've made 10 or 12 for the flea market so hopefully he get the color he wants.  More later.  I by the way ordered some oils and other things from mystify your senses so I can make my own lip balms.  I ordered amaretto oil,chocolate hazelnut,cotton candy and mint chocolate chip oil.  Got the recipe and now just will wait for the mailman to deliver!!!!

I decided to use the 200 grams of indigo from Catherine today.  I mixed it with the leftovers I had in the freezer.  Good idea to do this when you are )(*&&*(&( pissed off!  I was supposed to go to the vet this morning with Access-A-Ride or dare I call them by their proper name?  Stress-A-Ride!!!!  They showed up an hour later whcih was of no use to me since my appointment was 5 minutes before they came!  Anywho, I terped the stuff that was in the freezer and added hot water to the indigo and waited for the dye to release.  When it did I mixed the indigo into the other stuff and glopped it in my hair!  I think I did ok by myself.  I kept it in for almost 3 hours.  I had gotten a great deal at the healthfood store yesterday by buying Nature's Gate conditioner,18 oz. bottles for $2.99!!  So I bought 5!  I used almost a whole bottle taking the glop out of my hair.  I rinsed for about 40 minutes,used camillia oil and my oil mix and then put my hair in a ponytail and braided it.  Aside from some stains on the back of my neck,my hair is almost black.  When it dries I'll be better able to tell if it will be black or dark brown.  I think it should take 2 or 3 days to oxidize so then that's when I'll wash,conditioner and oil again.  No washing this time,just tons of conditioner.  I did loose alot of hair I think anyway,but we'll see when I take it out of the braid tomorrow morning or night.  That's about it for now!

Has it been more than a month already????!!!  My birthday was on the 22nd of October and was nice.  Went out to eat crab and lobster.  Also went to a craft fair on Saturday and picked up a microfiber towel for my hair.  Nice.  All in all The dog's surgery and other things have kept me busy.  I just got back from NYC where QVC had their product search and I presented my Satin Sox.  All went well and I'll know if they want to put it on the air in December.  I also have my crocheted items for sale at a spa I go to and that's been busy too. I'm beat so more later.

Smiley Wink Thanks Lisabelle!  The pup and I are going to the groomers today so she is better and hopefully after the groomers she'll look like a princess again! Grin
I find out in December if QVC is going to want to put my Satin Sox on the air.  I hope so!
