News flash: Arizona 10-year-old drops his locks

Gilbert, Arizona - Long-time member of the local chapter of the Mophead Society, Justin M. recently underwent a drastic makeover, most noticeable by his new haircut. Former nicknames like "ragamuffin" and "boy with long hair" can no longer apply as the new short style by Kathy L. of Great Clips in Gilbert, was fashioned with clippers. Justin has been getting haircuts from Kathy for nearly two years and has had long hair since she's known him.

"Wow, he has ears!" exclaimed friend Todd D., also of Gilbert, "He looks 'smart'."

"I was amazed that he wanted to do it," said mom Jen, "but he looks great. I thought it would make him look younger but as it turns out, he looks a little older." Dad Terry was shocked when he first saw him, but agrees that it's a good look for him, especially with hot summer weather coming.

Justin likes the new style too. "Now when I clean my ears, there's no hair to get in the way." He is also adjusting to things like using hair gel and feeling the breeze on the back of his neck.

Some speculate the drastic change was prompted by a recent hospital visit when a nurse mistook him for a girl from behind, though Justin denies these allegations.

The big question is, will he keep the new 'do?

    Will it inspire anyone else in the family to follow suit? (and I don't mean Terry!)

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
