Well, it is Thursday... and as you can tell I haven't had much computer time this week! Mostly because I have been spending every spare moment braiding Kiahna's hair. Why I have this drive to go overboard I don't know. Why did I think that buying 4000 beads what a good idea? Why did I buy all that construction paper that I just gave to my sister after so many years? Why do I do projects that overwhelm me and are too much?
Kiahna's hair is gorgeous... if I do say so myself! It should be thought...
Saturday I began in the front redoing the braids one at a time and making them smaller, in some places putting 4 braids where there was one... it seemed like a good idea at the time... i don't think I had a clue how long of a process this would be. Saturday I worked on it 3 hours.
Monday it was 4 hours of hair in small increments. The house cleaning and laundry didn't happen!
By Tuesday I needed to take her out in public! And this is what it looked like then... I could take the new and cover the old into a pony tail! WA-LAH! I should have left it go at that!
Is that ONE BIG pony tail or what!
This is what the old stuff underneath was looking like by now...
I worked a couple hours on Tuesday. Four hours on Wednesday. Today I have done 3 hours. I have about 1/8 of her head to go I am estimating and that will take about 2 more hours...
I enjoy this, but this is ridiculous!!
I'll post pictures as soon as it is done! And let's all pray that it lasts 6 weeks!!!

Hi Pam!
Katie O. from the hair group. I love the way these braids turned out! Really looks just like my Vic's but with the fun, pretty beads. I think that is a really cute look with those beads. But I am guessing all of that beading is part of what took so long :) Yarn braids is one hair do where I forgo all of the extra hair baubles and it still takes 8 hours to put them in! Great Job!!!!
