I’m back already – I know – shocking right? Told you I had a lot to write about.
I just want to bring you in on a little hair project I’m
currently working on. Via a lovely blog
which I have completely lost the name of (put your hand up please if it was you-hoo) , I recently had the good fortune to

- hairspray
- patience

The first pattern in the book is the Ava Gardner. I'll update you on Sunday with my thoughts and my results with this pattern and details of the next on the list!
