A quiz until I shower

Butterfly is done and she's beautiful.  I however am not right now since I haven't had time to sneak into the shower since Xander is still sick at home (but on the mend and likely back to school tomorrow). 

So while you're waiting, you can see what kind of Freaky Mama I am.  I was rather happy with this result and I even answered the questions honestly.  I'll admit a Rosie the Riveter poster is over our dining room table and my Emma's favourite nightshirt has Che Guevera on it.

Activist Mama
You're an agitator! Your kids have grown up on the
front lines of rallies and pickets, and chances
are that you boycott at least one company for
its bad business practices. Your kids are
learning what matters to you and how they can
change what matters to them.

What kind of a freaky mother are you?

Fingers emerge From my sleeves on Butterfly that is. But alas, it's not finished yet. I'm fed up with seaming, so I'm weaving in the ends with one sleeve left to sew in. Why is there nothing good on TV when it's seaming/weaving time. I need something to break the monotony besides the honking big Caramilk bar beside my knitting chair.

Loving the sweater, hating the hair Here's the lovely Butterfly. Nice eh? Notice my fingers poking out the sleeves? They're still a bit long, but I couldn't rip any more out or I would lose increases and would have to change the sleeve cap. In the end, I ripped back to one row after the last sleeve increase and took out two rows in the sleeve cap. Beware of these sleeves if you attempt this sweater. Like Claudia I used a frog closure instead of the hook and eye and I'm really happy with it. There's a close up here if you would like to see it. I picked something unshiny and simple (which is hard for these fasteners) because I didn't want to detract from the collar (though with the size of this thing it would be difficult). I love the collar--here it is from the back. And here's an outside shot to show off the colours better. (Here's the part where we get to my hair. I decided not to cut my head off in this picture so I have a visual reminder of what I was whining about if I ever read my archives.) I hate my haircut. I was actually disappointed when I left the salon, but figured I was just getting used to the short hair. I go to the Aveda Hair School and this is the first bad cut I've received. But now, two weeks later, after much goop and styling tricks and denial, I realize: I hate my hair. It makes me look old. I think my student-stylist did a poor job--there are technical issues and it doesn't suit me. And it's a bit late to go back (they have a policy on this--I asked). And there's probably not much that can be fixed that won't involve this turning into a really really short hair cut. It's not the sassy short cuts I've worn most of my life (the hair you've seen me with is the longest it's been since I was about 12). So it's not a short-hair phobia thing. It's a "I traded in a sophisticated graduated bob for an old lady cut" thing. I want the bob back. It could happen in less than six months I suppose. This is all made worse by the fact that I've been housebound with a sick kid (and now two sick kids and a sick husband) and I don't have work or more important thing to fixate on. It feels a bit better just saying it. And I have a fab new sweater and a opening in my WIPs!
