Week 32: Weekend Update

Want to know what's going on in Naturalocs' corner of the world? Well I thought I'd jot down a couple of the things that I've been up to this weekend.

First up, I've been ebay-ing like crazy. I don't know why but every now and then I look in my clothes dresser and see nothing but black, white and dark blue or purple. I love colour but I never see anything that really works for me and I never pay full price for anything these days. Here's what's caught my eye lately.

They should arrive soon woohoo!


Secondly, I found a nice little job for the Christmas holidays and finally started last Sunday:

I've never worked in retail before but I have say it's be pleasant so far. I'm looking forward to being part of the Christmas cheer working in the centre of my city. Oh and if any of the hostile, short tempered customers are reading: please be nice, we want you to enjoy Christmas too!

Thirdly and finally, I joined a small and friendly choir a few months ago and yesterday was our first 2012 winter concert performing the highly famed Carmina Burana: a selection of secular medieval poems set to music by Carl Orff in 1935-36. I sang second soprano:

Ii was incredibly enjoyable and had a surprisingly big audience. It was worth all the hard work. I insist you experience a choir at some point. Find out where the nearest carol sing-a-long is and bring a friend!

That's it for now. Busy, busy, busy. As you can see I've been rockin' the headband look this week and I'm glad my little dreads have been part of the fun.

-Peace

Make it your Hobby: Bracelet

Hello all, we've just reached the longest day of the year (British calendar day). I'm still continuing with my loc journey and my occasional side hobby too. I'm not the craftiest of people but I do enjoy making things I can use and wear. I've also noticed it helps to have something else to focus on when waiting, eagerly, for your locs to mature and grow.


Here we have a simple three beaded leather knot bracelet with a sliding knot extender. Made from the same brown leather thread as my previous bracelet. The silver bead was purchased at funkyMo bead shop and I continued to make further use of the black beads I got from a necklace found in a local charity shop.

And here's the how to video I used to finish the bracelet with a sliding knot extender.

Stay tuned for future creations and let me know about any of the crafty projects that help you pass the time.

Make it your Hobby: Bracelet

On a non hair related topic I have just finished making my first bracelet after deciding to gather the materials a couple of days ago.

Instantly wearable

I used the beads from a necklace I found in a charity shop and then purchased the leather string from a jewellery craft store.

More to come!
