The little farm girl and the wolf!

It would appear that you can take the girl out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the girl....little Angelina has been making herself very busy this morning digging up vegetables from the garden, she really has been earning her keep ;)

"Tita Sharon, can I goes out in the garden and dig up veggies for you please?"  was the first thing I heard this morning on entering the playroom.

I was more than happy for the little sweetie to go out in the garden, after all the sun was shining, it was quite warm enough and she now has 'farm pants' to wear.....so off she 'toddled' with her shovel and her trolley, her hair pulled back in gingham tied pigtails :)

I gave her an apple to eat and later noticed her sitting nicely in the shade of the lemon tree....she'd obviously been very busy as she now had her red trolley full of vegetables!!!

Wait a minute!  Who's that little white fellow in the trolley with all the veggies?  It seems Angelina has found herself a new friend!

"Yes Tita, he's mine new friend!" (She speaks like her brother Connor back home in  Wales, as you would expect!) ;)  "Can I'm keep him?  Pleeeeze!"

Before I could answer, there was an almost catastrophe.....or would that be a dogostrophe? ;)  Shock horror!  Along came a big hairy wolf and snook straight up to the trolley and whisked the poor little rabbit away, licking it's chops with glee at the thought of a nice rabbity luncheon!!!

Luckily though, I was able to whisk the poor creature out of the clutches of the big scary 'wolf' and apart from a bit of slobber, the little white rabbit was unharmed....if a bit scared after it's ordeal.  He hopped quickly onto the rock where Angelina had been sitting eating her apple.

Angelina though, was a little upset....poor child!  Especially when she saw that the little rabbit had lost a small piece of his fur.....big naughty wolf!

She carefully placed him back in the cart with an extra carrot.....and made her way back inside.  She didn't want anything else to happen to her new little friend!!!

Hope you liked my little 'story'.....I'm hopeless at stories!!!  And also that you like her new farm pants and tee shirt that I finished this morning. 

She wants to just show you her matching stripey socks before she goes off to play in the playroom with her new friend!

No rabbits, Toddlers, chihuahuas, vegetables or WOLVES were hurt in the making of this blog post ;)

Searching for hair....and not just any old hair!

The last couple of weeks I've been thinking about poor Lyrics hair which, as you will remember, is breaking badly at the front.  Well it's breaking all over to be honest, but it's not quite so bad at the back.  This is the colour of her hair in daylight, it's what I would call a 'dirty' blond, or maybe it's 'ash' blond?  If anyone can help me with the name of this colour, I'd be really grateful.

Her hair actually doesn't look so bad in these photos but it's very thin in real life and there are several rows of empty plugs going backwards from the forehead.  Jackie R suggested taking some from the back to reroot at the front, but there's just not enough at the back despite how thick her plaits look.

I bought some blond hair but when I got it home I realised that it is just not the right shade of blond.  I then bought a hair dye in a darker blond, tried that, it made not one iota of difference!! Well except to make the hair harder to comb through!  I wonder if I should have used a fabric dye seeing as the hair is synthetic!

A very pale blond....I think this is too light for her:

This is a darker shade of blond but it's very 'yellowy':

Here are both blonds mixed together: I don't think this photo is a good representation of the colour though as her own hair looks almost 'green' ...

I have searched for other shades of blond  on the internet and not found any that appear similar to her existing hair colour.  I am not planning on partially rerooting, I will probably have to do her whole head, so it's not so much getting a match but a shade that suits her skin colour.

I really don't want to waste any more money on blond hair if it's not going to work.  I even took her to a wig and hair extension shop in Malaga, only to find that the store had closed down...doh!

Therefore I have been thinking, shall I go for another colour entirely?  I was thinking about auburn.  I don't want to change her to brunette as I already have my brunette Lindt.  She would be entirely different and I'd not have to worry about the shade of blond.  But do I really want to change Lyric that drastically?  I really don't know.  :(

I think in all honesty that I'd prefer her to remain blond.  Keeping her own hair isn't really an option as it is so badly damaged, fragile and brittle and I feel that before long she will have an even bigger 'comb over' than she has already!!!!

I would welcome any suggestions.
