Craft.

You may or may not have read the tweet late last week about my haircut. After cutting off some length and going for bangs the last time around (huuuuge transition), I was just going in for a trim. I loooove my stylist…rave about her actually….but I’m still feeling like this cut is too short all the way around.

It looked cute the first night, styled professionally, and on one of the best dates, ever.  Butttt since then it’s kind of been a certifiable disaster. My favorite comment was, “I’m trying to decide if I like your hair or not. It’s kind of retro…I think my mom had that hair cut in the 80′s.” Quickly followed by, “and I think my mom is the most beautiful person in the world.”

But the moral of the story is this: a.} I DO like standing out in a crowd b.} It’s just hair and it’ll grow back {stimulated by some powerful omega-3s}. AND c.} I’m a grown up because I haven’t even cried once.

Oh, and yes…the hair clip is a project from the lovely Rachel Denbow that I talked about last week. Happy Monday!

So I usually have pretty structured posts, but I have nothing structured to write about today, and I’m about 5 minutes from falling asleep, but I so very much wanted to pop in and say hi. So let’s do a little Monday recap for fun.

I’ll be honest and say, my day probably would have been a lot better with this:

And all of the incessant raining in sf makes me desperate for summer, wearing airy little clothes & being tan (I’m such a girl, I know).

I ordered some new style school supplies {1 of 2 bad things about living in sf and not having a car…NO immediate access to crafty goodness!} and because I have to wait for everything to come, I didn’t do any crafting. Instead, I spent some time online {okay, 2+ hours} and came up with a couple great tutorials that are going in my file:

Lil’ floral hair clip & a flower paper lantern.

Relevant because…one of my to-do’s for this year is to get a chandelier for my apartment. Do we think I’ll actually be able to afford a chandelier? Um. no {well, not unless it’s this one}. But that flower paper lantern could maybe a good alternative. We’ll see.

Oh, and also, I bought this last weekend on Etsy:

I’m really excited. I needed something cheerful and sunny. This definitely fits the bill, & it fulfilled my requirement of buying original art for my apartment.

I guess that’s all for now, have a great Tuesday!
