Golden-kissed and Ruffled
I did something I've never done before: bought a home hair highlighting kit. I coaxed Travis into pulling the strands of hair through the plastic cap with that plastic crochet hook (part of the kit). I was actually impressed with how it turned out. I was expecting a more amateur-ish look, but for $6, it was not a bad salon alternative.
(Ignore the poofy hair; not sure what was going on up there on Sunday). But, look! More ruffles! This time on one of my favorite cardigans. It was alot easier than I thought it would be and it literally took 10 minutes. I used fabric that doesn't fray (kind of a stretchy webbing-like fabric) so I didn't have to hem the edges before sewing the ruffle. I ended up sewing two rows of ruffles to give it a fuller look. If you want to see a really cool Anthro-inspired cardigan, go here to see what my sister Lauren created. I love it!

Wow you did that yourself? I noticed it on Sunday and thought it looked really nice.
Your hair looks gorgeous. Travis you get an A+.
The one and only time I tried to home highlite my hair at home I ended up looking like Ursala on the Little Mermaid. It took 8 hours and mega bucks to get it repaired at a salon.
I DID notice that on Sunday Sarah, it looks really pretty! You are brave, good job! And the cardigan was beautiful also!
