Beehive mark II & Fall - ing in love

Sorry Sorry sorry - I've been away - blame the Olympics! Who can drag themselves away!!! But that does not mean I haven't been busy - you can still sew and watch the television! So....here is my very first Feliz! It is as has been widely reported and über dress - Nancy - you are a superstar! Also those owls...I found the drawings for them here. I am such a fan! You can see more here. Also a today a new beehive interpretation, which is also featured in the auction pictures. This one is becomming a bit of a fav around here - simple but looks cool and I really like the way it extends the hair showing it from right on top of the head right down to the bottom of the braids - a great line.

Tut mir leid, daß es etwas ruhig im Blog gewesen war - ich bin wieder hier. Die olympischen Spiele sind Schuld daran! Aber felißig bin ich trotzdem gewesen. Man kann gleichzeitig nähen und fernsehen oder! Heute mein erstes Feliz! Danke Nancy - das Kleid, ist wie alle sagte, zauberhaft schön. Die Zeicghnungen für die Eulen habe ich hier gefunden. Heute gibt es auch eine neue Frisur. Sieht kompliziert aus aber ist eigentlich sehr einfach. Mehr kann man hier sehen.

So to begin, divide the hair into three section - you can experiment with how big each of these sections are - it works really well with a teensie tiny front section but this time I made the front a bit bigger and that worked too. So you have a front section, a mid section and a back section. Pop the front section in a side pony and the mid section in a pony high up on the head.

The secure the front pony into the middle pony and do a half pull through on the last pass through the elastic. Fan the hair out a bit so you have a nice high beehive-esque look on top of the head.

To end with do two braids in the third section of the hair - pretty cool hey!

Behive obsession

A new hairstyle for today and I am almost done with a brand new outfit! I have to admitt I am hopelessly obsessed by beehives - the hairdos not the actual thing of which I am deathly terrified!!! As I have found it always ultimately more useful to feed my obsessions rather than trying to ignore them I have set myself a goal so expect some ongoing posts - to develop a quick, easy and simplified children's beehive. (without all the backcombing etc) I am just sort going for the "look". Here is my first attempt. I divided the hair into three sections - a very small section at the front, and two equal sections behind that. I took the middle section and popped in in a pony but on the last pass i didn't pull it all the way through. Then I took the front sectionthe front of the hair and side parted it. Then I took the front section, side parted it and brushed it down smooth. I secured it at the nape of the neck with a tiny elastic. The third section I just let hang down the back. Pop in a bow and voila!

Heute habe ich noch eine neue Frisur zu zeigen. Ich gebe zu, ich bin von dem Bienenkorb besessen!! Also von eigentlichen Bienenkörben habe ich schreckliche Angst aber die Frisur gefällt mir sehr gut. Und, wenn ich von irgendetwas besessen bin, geht es einfach nicht die Bessesseheit irgendwie zu ignorieren. Nein, es is immer besser damit zu arbeiten. Und deswegen habe ich ein neues Ziel, eine einfachere kindliche Version zu machen. Hier mein erster Versuch. Die zweite Frisur ist eine Flechte.
