hair, gift, african music, walk

Suddenly I can think of more pictures I want to take. Oh well, next blog post.

So to start off, I just got my haircut this morning. Have yet another new hairdresser. Have been going to the same place and every time I get a new hairdresser and then request them the next time, they have left the place. Makes me wonder. No matter, I still get great hair cuts there. It isn't exactly as I envisioned in my head, but with the quirks of my hair, I don't think it can be. That said, I am very happy with it. Even a complimentary application of lip gloss afterwards (which of course is already worn off).

My friend Nicole is one of the most giving people in the universe. Don't believe me? Look at this:
Roving from Nicole 6-12-2009
This is gorgeous colorful roving used to spin yarn. Something I am going to need to do very soon for a swap partner (but not with this roving). I haven't spun yarn for a really long time (too busy at work and too many other things going on). I totally love this. She sent this out of the blue for no reason. Thanks so much Nicole.

My mom and I went to a free outdoor concert last night at River Rhythms in Downtown Milwaukee. Every Wednesday in Pere Marquette park is a series of free concerts called River Rhythms. Last night we saw Oumar Sagna and Sindoolaa African Music Band. Here are some pictures from the fabulous upbeat show:

They had a dancer there as well as you can see in one of the pictures.

Here is the link for all the pictures in this last week's walk:

    LOVE the haircut! I have attempted bangs many times and I just don't have the face for them. Looks great! I love how you keep taking photos of the same tree.

    Notice how I call it "my tree" now. Like I own it or something. haha.

    Bangs aren't easy for me. I have to use a hair straightener to make it work. I saw one picture of you with bangs, you looked really cute.

    Your hair looks so cute! I wish I could do bangs, too. It looks 5x better on you.

    awwww...thanks mochaxlight.

    You don't NEED a wheel to spin yarn, just a drop spindle(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gXTWgMeMgI). You will have to cut and paste the link, I have the same drop spindle she has. Wheel might be easier, but I wouldn't really know yet.

    Oooo. I need to try. I found instructions that said to use an old CD and a dowel, but I don't know where they went. :b
