pigtails, diamonds and a hauser or two

Here is baby Mermaid in her new Christmas outfit, for some reason I have wanted a sock monkey shirt and bows and I finally got this adorable shirt from http://www.stitcheroos.com/

I love it and of course I had to make some bows! but on to the hair!

I parted out four little braids in the front and four in the back, then I took most of the hair and made two big pigtails

This is how I pulled the braids into the pigtails, instead of weaving them like I usually do I just pulled the outside straight up and the center ones crossed to the opposite pigtails, It was easy!

Here is a view from the top, but  it shows the hair really well!

With the bows, I just love the brown and red of these bows!

And one cute little monkey! Thanks for reading my blog!

hauser braid and a turkey!

I don't know how to spell the name of this braid, but it makes a square, almost 4 stranded braid.I pulled Baby Mermaids hair up in a tiny side pony with the very front part of her hair, I always try to do a long hairdo the first day after we wash her hair and then morph that do into a more up second day do. I am just lazy that way, then I made 2 rope braids with her pony.
so, I twisted the two strand s back together so, to make the ropes I twisted the hair to the right, then twisted the twists to the left, put in elastics and twisted the ropes back to the right, It was really simple and quick.

Here she is ready for school with a turkey in her hair, I know I told her to grab a bow and she came back with this! It was a totally easy and ready to go hair day,
for the second day hair we pulled the back part up into pigtails and pulled the braid back in the left pigtail it was really cute to but I didn't get a pic sorry!
