I guess today is a day of posts. I get so tired during the week and don't really feel like saying much, but I must be very wordy this weekend so hopefully it will hold for the rest of the week.
I washed and put up Ve's hair right away. I also put a tad of sheen into a spray bottle with water and sprayed her hair to keep it moist while I worked her braids in. The sheen that a friend gave me really helped keep the moisture in her hair this week. I attempted the beads. I used a medium sized hole and the threader, and yes again I broke another threader without getting that d*** bead onto the hair. The braid was thinner than a pencil. Was that even too thick for medium sized hole beads?? Please let me know. So I gave up the beads and put snaps and ponys in. I like the look and she likes the look. I zig zagged the parts so that they are different than last week to hopefully prevent breakage. I may have to give up the bead idea, unless they are large holed. I hate to do this since I have so many lovey beads. So suggestions on beading and threading would be great.
Lastly, I have now made up a song for Ve like I did for Tuks. Ve ends with adopted from Haiti, while of course Tuks ends with adopted from Guatemala. Ve was singing Tuks song to Tuks tonight, while Tuks was singing Ve's song Ve. It was really cute.
We didn't go to the bible study tonight since Tuks spiked a fever of 102 today after she woke from her nap. She is ok tonight, but I thought it best to stay home to rest and get ready for thebusy week.

I have broke so many beaders trying to pull beads on braids that are to thick. I can only judge by the size of the braids in the picture but they look to thick for the beads. You will get the hang of it and love the style variation. I use to spend 4 to 5 hours on each head doing braids!
yep i think they are too thick too. Ve's hair may be thicker than G's. But I did small box braids and styles with more braids frequently.
if you did 1/3x or twice as many braids as that the beads would fit on easily.
cute!!!
You did a good job despite the problems. Both of my girls have really thick hair and lots of it...oh boy...
