Thanks!  The statue is Nymph with Scorpion, forgot artists name.
I went ahead last night and ordered 2 cassia kits from her and will give them a try.
There's a pic on the site showing application that divides the sections all the way across the back of the head which I plan on trying next time.  Currently I divide my whole head in two (like when making pig tails) and divide each into 4 sections.  I think going all the way across might be easier, I'd just need bigger clips.
Please let me know how it works for you when you do your roots!

It's been very lonely here without Shasta.  I've found a few rescue ads on PetsFound.com and other sites.  One pup I was pre-approved for,but he's in NJ and where the lady wants to meet up is 2 hours away from me!   The pup would have been perfect for me,too!  Another lady is fostering a girl who is 6 years old in NYC.   Much closer to me,but I keep sending e-mails to her to find out if she got my application and I can't even get an answer to that!!   Maybe I have to wait until Nov. when I come back from visiting Mom.   This might be a sign to wait 
I the meantime, I've been practicing learning how to play my Native American Flute.  Since my right hand doesn't have the dexerity it once had, I'm facing challlenges that I didn't think would happen while trying to learn.   So for an early wedding anniversary present C asked tme to pick out another flute.  So after alot of research again.... I decided on a Sparrow Flute in the key of A,made out of walnut with turquoise inlays/stones.  It's about 19-20 inches.  Alittle smaller than my Littleleaf flute in key of F#.  This new flute might be easier to learn on.  It is made by Odell Borg who puts out High Spirits Flutes. I've been making flute bags for my flutes and that has not been a bad thing.  I bought a padded case from Odell about 2 weeks ago just in case I want to travel with my flute,it's protected from bangs and falls.   I had also gotten Odell's beginner DVD for Native American Flutes.  I like it very much.  I think this new flute will be easier to practice on. .  It'll be here in about a week, depending on UPS.  Hey their turnaround time is better than USPS!
Been also experimenting with different ingredients for  the vegan banana bread.  One more experiment with the flour and I'll call it done!   The last one came out really good, according to C!  I used Agave instead of Brown Rice Syrup.  This time I want to use mostly whole wheat flour and less of another flour.  Fingers crossed!

Thanks,Mel!  If only my fingers would cooperate!

My new flute came on Wed. and it is a beautiful work of art!!!  Odell Borg certainly is a talented flute maker!  Will try to practice tonight.  C says my scales are sounding better as time goes on.  It sure is different from playing piano.
I've been posting some things at my Etsy store and trying to get more things together to post.  I just have to prep the dressform and take pics.
I've been sewing eyeglass cases for my sister who is going to Ireland for her 10 year wedding anniversary.  She got married on my birthday and my wedding anniversary is two days after my birthday.  She and I are born the same month a year apart.
C and I are going to some friend's house for a BBQ tomorrow.  I made vegan Snickerdoodles and C is making potato salad and macaroni salad.  Both will be vegan.  I've got mixed feelings about this because there is going to be a couple there, M and L.  M is a nice guy,but L is a different story.  C and I heard that L is planning to make a big scene at our mutual friends house at some friend of hers that will be there.  Talk about nerve and lack of class!!!!   I really don't want to see this fiasco,if there will be one.  I don't need the stress so I may or may not go.  If it's stressful and causes me to maybe have an exaserbation.........heads will roll!!!! I don't know why they, (the friends that are throwing the BBQ) even invited her.  The husband doesn't want her there, but the wife is friends with L.  I hate drama  !
Knowing me, I'll have to do what's best for my health.  If I think it'll be drama and screaming and god knows what else,I won't go..................

Had C mail out the package for my sister because I had to wait for UPS to come with my meds.
I went alittle overboard with the things for my sister.   I wound up making her a pair of wrist warmers,a pair of fingerless gloves, both in black; 5 sunglass cases in various patterns.  I broke two double needles on my serger though .
Tonight I'm trying different crochet patterns for bun covers.  I'm not finding anything I like or is big enough.   No biggie, it'll work out eventually.
The sales rep for the provider that works with TiLite called and we scheduled an appt. next week for him to bring me my new TiLite!!  I'm so stoked!  Since May I started working on getting this and finally it's ready!  It was ordered on Aug.23rd so I guess it makes sense taking so long because it has to be custom made out of titanium.  I wanted to get my chair in a light pink or purple with black details,but since pink wasn't available in the titanium style, I chose Scarlet Ice with black details.  I can't wait to see it!
In other areas..........my second flute is working out very well.  I practiced scales today for alittle while and it's slow  because of my MS symptoms aggravating my right hand, but at least for now I can work with it.
C is working tonight for a few hours so it's quiet,but maybe too quiet without him here.
I also got my auto delivery from QVC the other day.  Wen's Fig Conditioner set.  I am cancelling that.  I'm not pleased with this formula either at all.  I'm also thinking a major cut is either needed (like 4 inches) or a really good deep conditioner.  I washed my hair with this Fig formula yesterday and used some Almond Mint Deep Conditioner by Wen, left it in to sleep with.  Rinsed it out this morning in the shower and let it air dry.  Totally not happy at all.  Frizz is an understatement  .  I'm at my wit's end with what the weather is doing to my hair!!!!!!!  I may get desperate and try that Pantene formula for frizzy hair.  Or  just make up some deep conditioner recipe and take it from there.  I might just load my hair up with conditioner tonight and braid it.

Thanks for the suggestion!  They are on my list to try!  (We curlies are on the same page  )  I have them in my basket on Curlmart.com.   Only problem is that I have too much in the basket to choose from!  (Note to self- Don't act like a kid in a candy store!  There are only problems there!! )

Yay!  I hope you love it like I do.  I don't care for Re:coil, though.   I think its because I'm wavy and not curly curly like you.
