the curl is back

i began painting on the collages this week. i like it. i started knitting with my newly produced sock yarn. not really enough to photograph yet, probably tomorrow's post (we have a netflix movie to watch tonight).

new haircut today. i love it. new city, new hairdresser (yes, i haven't gotten even a trim since May - eek), and she created exactly what i hoped for. my description to her: short enough to bring the natural curl back, long enough to pull into a ponytail, no mullet. when it began to look as though the front was going to be too long to have good front curls, i amended to say that i was happy to use bobbypins to pull back a few strands. she cut a little more and i can still get it all pulled back (for studio time and walks and sleeping - i guess this is one of my weird things - as seen on many blogs these past few weeks - i never liked sleeping with loose hair, short as it's ever been, i would find some way to pull it back at night, scarves, headbands, multiple ponytails...)
