Oh Yeah, My Hair Is Black Now

Sooooooooooo, I dyed my hair black. My roots were so dark and there was about two inches of growth. I decided I should just cover it up rather than bleach my roots to be blonde. It was at such a healthy state and I didn't want to fry my hair again so black seemed like the better option. Dark brown would have just looked muddy on me.

I like how the black looks on me. I HATE  the dye we used though. Milissa did it for me and we used L'oreal Preference Mousse Absolute color #100 Deep Black. The shtick for this particular line is that there is a special applicator that mixes the step one and step two compounds together as you dispense so when you are done, none is wasted. Than and there is even extra,

enough for two applications for those with short hair, and an application and a touch up for longer hair. yeah well that's bull. There wasn't even enough to cover all of my hair and its not even long. the parts that didn't get color ended up looking kind of like highlights but I'm probably going to go back and fix it later.

I give it 4/10.

Heavy Fabrics

So last night I made a bed spread for the day bed at Mama Boots’ house. It was super hard work and took forever. My hands are killing me from maneuvering all the fabric around. It is soooo freakin hard to sew when you have like 20 pounds of quilting fabric and fluff to move around and get under a little needle. Speaking of needles, I had to get a new sewing machine too. Turns out the sewing machine Chris had got me last Christmas was defective from the beginning. The whole line has a timer problem but mom picked up a new Singer Simple that was on sale at Joann’s. I think the only reason she got it was because she really really REALLY wanted me to finish her bed spread. This unfortunately was my 4th machine now, which is why my mom was reluctant to get me another. My first machine literally blew up. I was working with denim and some material got in the lower part of the machine where the bobbin goes and got stuck, which broke something, that bounced around in the main part of the machine, and then the inside caught on fire and started to smoke....... yeah. And then my aunt sent me her old machine that ended up broken in the mail. And then the defective one Chris got me. And now I am on my latest and this one works great and it’s super easy to use. Now that I have enough strength to use one again, I can work on my cosplays I have lined up!!! YAY!!!!
