My beautiful children...

I have been working on writing a post, bare with me! I was gathering thoughts and accidentally erased the post.. ARGHHHH!

In the meantime, here is a picture post :-)

Ty's school picture..lol


Tamaya's new hairdo, I still need to add some bling to it! I did yarn extensions and LOVE the way it turned out.

I love her hair. I don't even know how to begin to do something like that. Amazing!!

Hi it's Sarah from the other side of the river...

What did you do on the ends? It looks great! I tried it on my daughter but I can't figure out how to do the ends nicely. I could never get the yarn to burn nicely.

Hi Sarah,

I braided a little longer than the length I wanted, then I took a BBQ lighter, held the braid out towards me and let the flame actually "cut" the braid at the length I wanted. This made the tips form more into spike like ends.

Do you usually cut then burn?

p.s. If I didn't explain it right let me know..lol

Hi Sue, I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't use the right type of yarn because when I tried burning the ends, it didn't melt together like that. I think I'll try a different kind.

The yarn I used from Wal-Mart was Bernat Satin - it's SUPER SOFT! I doesn't say synthetic though. I know the recommended type is synthetic because it doesn't dry the hair.. but I have been using a mixture of olive oil, water and conditioner to spray & saturate her hair and braids with...so far so good!
