workshops, Bunny Spin ins & Ixchel Club Sign ups!

O-oh did she really get a hot chilli hairdo? aaaagh!

I am packing the car full of fibre, my wheel and other instruments up to go to the insubordiknit workshop market this afternoon and there are still lots of batts waiting to be made :) Last minute things that I should have done ages ago if it wasn't for the fact that ages ago I had other last minute things ....lol...How I wish I had a time machine...:) I did take some tome out yesterday to go to the hairdresser! I had to ! Mind you for me it is a BIG thing since I do not go to get my hair cut at all ! but now after all the trauma of the last few months and being in recovery from cancer, my thyroid decided it had enough and went on a holiday. Making my hair fall out and brittle among other things so, I decided if the hair wants to go, it might as well go with a bang! So, here I am sitting at the computer with purple haze, hot chilli and orange twist colours in my hair and a medium length cut with a side fringe. no, no pics yet...later...promise.Or, if you do want tto see my hot chilli head please visit me at the insubordiknit market tonight at 7pm :) Here's more infor about it all :)
