Mabel’s First Haircut

Mabel is 4 and a half years old…
And she’s never had a haircut.

Until today.

Mabel's Before

mabelhaircutbefore2

I of course was outside taking photos of her long hair before we headed to the salon.

Mabel’s always had hair…even at birth, she was born with a full head of it.  I have nothing against haircuts but Mabel’s hair had just become her.  She was the girl at preschool that had super long hair and always had a big bow.  🙂

But lately, her hair was becoming a huge chore.  It would be super knotted every.single.morning and she hated having it brushed.  It was beginning to become stringy at the ends and a bit damaged.  So we knew the time had come.

We talked about it and Mabel decided that after she cut her hair she wanted to send it off to help another kiddo who needed hair.  Because of this, the cut was going to have to be on the shorter side.  But hair is hair, it will grow back, and it’s fun to try something new!  Once we decide what organization, I’ll update.  🙂

We got to the salon and Mabel took everything like a champ until the trimmers were turned on to cut her braid.  She started crying and I was afraid we might end up leaving before a cut was made…but all of the hairdressers in the salon came rushing over from their own clients to tell her that she was doing awesome…and one with hot pink and purple hair (Mabel told her that her hair was beautiful) offered a lollipop = instant fix.

And there it was…her beautiful hair…in my hand.

Hair that will go to hopefully make another child very happy.

I owe a lot to the wonderful hairdresser (and the other ones who work at the salon) who did such an amazing job with Mabel!

So here’s what you’re waiting for…the after pics:

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at her throughout the day since she looks like a different child!  Lol!

A much older child. 
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the little girl look.

But I adore her new ‘do’ and how it fits her spunky personality.

And yay for not having to brush a ton of hair!

DAY 9 = Santa’s Greeting Block + GIVEAWAY!  Santa loves his HO, HO, HOs right?! 🎅🏼🎅🏽🎅🏿 So I figured for Day 9 of the #QuiltmasSpectacular, I’d give you the #SantasGreetingBlock, a free quilt block that’s plain and simple...and all about the man who likes cookies, drinks milk and brings gifts to children. 🙌🏻 What’s there not to love?! ❤️ Find the link in my profile to get your hands on the free pattern for this cute little block! . 2 1
It’s done and is now part of the #quiltsinthewasher gang! 🙌🏻 It will be packed up and shipped off to @themakingsofjoy to then be donated to #quiltsforthefatherless. It makes my heart so happy! 🥰 551 37
I’m another year older 🎉(and hopefully wiser) since I last posted…and figured I’d start by forcing myself to do something other than quilting with straight lines! 🙌🏻😂 I think I’ve put it off for so long since the perfectionist in me can’t stand trying things that I’m not good at (I like living within my quilty comfort zone 🙈). Buuuuut you have to start somewhere right?  I’m attempting an orange peel quilting design and I’ll just have to go with the flow and not beat myself up too much over errors.  It’s sooooo hard to let go though!  I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about.  Wish me luck! 🤞🏻 405 61
🎉 And today the tester celebration comes to an end! 🎉  These final three ladies deserve a round of applause for their #DayTripQuilt versions! 📷 In order of quilty appearance = @finleyfabric, @sarahsew_sew and @spoolsandspice (they are tagged in their photos too!) Head to their accounts to see what they’ve been up to, you won’t be sorry (because who doesn’t love finding new quilt friends?!) And as with every pattern release, I owe a huge thanks to all of my testers.  They dedicate themselves to sewing up a quilt and picking over my pattern to make sure all my math is correct along with hunting for all those grammar mistakes. 🙈  All so that my pattern is ready to go for its release date! 🙌🏻 I’m forever thankful to all of the testers I’ve shared with you this past week. 🥰 #patterntester #quiltpatterntester 509 8
Just when you thought I was done celebrating tester pics...I’m not! 📷 Genna of @wetmountainquiltco left me speechless with her #DayTripQuilt and her incredible photos!  She is one of my all time favorites at taking #quiltsinthewild pics so go see for yourself over on her account!  Stay tuned for the last two tester pics tomorrow. Then I’ll give it a rest!  I promise! 😉🙌🏻 . 419 14
🎉Pattern SALE ends tonight!🎉 And I’m still not done sharing gorgeous #DayTripQuilt versions! 📷 Morgan of @morgankellyquilts (we’re name twins!) made a traditional version and came up with such a pretty and unique color palette!  You must go take a peek at her account to be inspired by her beautiful makes and perfectly paired fabric combinations! 🥰 #quilt #modernquilt 267 12
