Why not be a perfectly natural red head?

Hi R
I have been dying to talk about hair, mainly about issues to do with dyeing it or not - and now you have provided me with the perfect timing. I have cut out articles from magazines etc, have observed brave friends who have taken the au - naturale road (no no no! Not me! Silly girl!), so feel I am quite expert at the subject; and I am totally with you. Why not be a perfectly natural red head? I agree with Lynee - you look like a movie star! More to come on this strand but in the meantime, I am wondering how it has changed your life.

Have you ever just wanted a change? You know something to brighten your day, set your world on fire? Well that was me yesterday at the hair salon. Why not go red? After all I was born a red head.My father's nick name was Red. I have fair skin and freckles, perfect for red hair. So I pulled the plug (on the bottle)and unleashed the real me. Reddy, set, go. What do you think?

23 days left to complete a year of creating a piece each day

Hi there to other creative minded friends

R wrote -http://shopatnextdoor.blogspot.com " I only have 23 days left on Project A Day! I've knit over 150 scarves so far and have at least another 50 to go just to use up the yarn that customers brought in. I've taught Ula how to knit them and created a knitting monster. She loves it. June is also helping me, so now I mostly just sew them together. It's turning into a really great community project. Wish you were here...you are my missing link.

Clara - thanks R. It's been a year (what was the exact date?) since we reconnected through Facebook and you have enhanced and enriched my life in many ways, including a fabulous trip thanks to wonderful Roberto, where we caught up after 30 years to continue just where we left off.

It has been a delight to be part of your Project One a Day, to witness your amazing creativity and drive, combined with community spirit. What a great way to end your amazing year of creativity; ie cosy, stylish scarves brightening and warming so many lives. Very very very proud of you!!!

I've been away on holidays and cannot believe how much has been achieved with this community effort - to such an extent that you have been able to create additional pieces to complete your amazing 'year of living creatively.'

Vests and wraps to wear with skinny jeans.

Hi R
Vest assured that I continue to be amazed at what you achieve! Love the wraps and scarves especially 'Sheep to Shawl'. Is it a Mobius Scarf?

My favourites though are 'Poncho Viva' and 'Bring out the Vest in you' since they remind me of the blending of colours we achieved with our weaving back in the 70's. 'Vest Assured' and 'Just in Time' also are reminiscent of the beautiful pieces which were woven with hand spun wool, some of which you spun from the fleece of your own sheep. The variations in the wool create the fabulous variations in texture.
