Barber in a Box

Since the pandemic began I've been cutting my guy's hair at home, using ancient clippers that I've had for over 25 years (I used to cut the kids' hair when they were little to save money.) So when I saw a nice clipper set for under $50.00 on Maria's blog during the holidays I decided to get that for my guy for Christmas. It was really a present for me, but since I would be using it on him I figured it counted.

This is a 30-piece set with clippers, two different battery-powered trimmers, scissors, two combs, all kinds of clipper attachments and even a cape like you'd have in a barber shop. Included is a nice, sturdy zip-up case in which everything fits for tidy storage.

Here's a pic off the box that shows all the pieces you get:

I finally got to use it the other night, and I was impressed. The clipper's blades are razor sharp and zip right through hair (now I realize how dull the blades are on my old set.) I also liked having the cape and the different combs. The hand scissors are also very nice.

Highly recommend this set if you're barbering at home.

Wahl is the best. Greg has had the same clippers for over 30 years and it still works great. He uses it regularly too.

Jimmy has an old Wahl he still uses. I think he's had it oh...probably 20 years at least. He really only trimmed his beard with it until the couple of times I cut his hair at the back of his neck this past year, but it worked great!

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Store Closing Haul

The mega Books-A-Million store over in Sanford is closing, and offered an extra 20% off on their current stock -- all sales final -- so I went over to do some shopping. Safely but sadly there was no one in the store but me the entire time I was there. The Holly Jackson novel is for Katherine, the Halloween board book is for Oliver, and the copy of Garden Spells is to keep on hand because I give that book to everyone. The rest of the books are for me. I love Anne Cleeves, and the Galbraith novel sounded interesting (the first couple weren't, but I'm willing to take another chance.) The Escape Room is by a new-to-me author, plus it was cheap. The GreenCraft mag is just a guilty pleasure. Hopefully the smaller BAM nearer to me won't close. I don't buy many books from brick-and-mortar stores these days, but that's really the last one within reasonable driving distance.
