Re: [lace] Arachne Lunch

Hi All

I colour my hair, well the hairdresser does, but I use the time that I am 
sitting about to read books, check the next pattern I am -panning to do. 
I use this time as planning/thinking time.   I always take some lace 
oriented thing with me. I have even been known to sit and tat!!!   And 
that doesn't happen very often.

Oh drat...  I did it again!  Engaged mouth before engaging brain!  
Actually, some people look better au naturel than others, and coloring 
your hair should always be an option.  Sorry if I offended anyone.  But 
Devon...  you look great with a little bit of not so dark hair!

Yeah, Clay! grin
 
Actually it also depends on what industry a person works
in. Lacemakers and many others look experienced and wise with grey hair,
whereas software engineers are often assumed to be out-of-date and with not
long to last in the industry.

I agree!  And then I have to confess...  I began coloring my hair in my 
late 20's because I started greying prematurely!!  (Honest!)  So, by the 
time I was 50, I had no idea what color my natural hair was.  Finally, 
my hairdresser said that I had more grey hair than  auburn, so I finally 
let it grow out.  I looked like Ronald McDonald (the McDonald's clown) 
for a very long time...  it was awful!  Turns out, I had a nice mix of 
dark and white, (salt and pepper) and once the dye had all grown out, I 
got loads of compliments about my hair.  Now, the dark has mostly gone, 
I'm mostly white/grey, and it's not drawing the compliments any more, 
but at least I don't have to spend an hour a month getting it colored, 
and the money I save is definitely better spent on lace books!!!

Hi Devon and other Arachnids,

Don't dye your hair; GROW OLD DISGRACEFULLY! Enjoy it! Have fun! Enjoy the
fact that there -probably- is more time for lace making. Think about the
time you are not spending sitting around with gloop in your hair :-D.

Happy lace making,

I am in both pictures. Curiously, my hair seems very dark in the 2003  
picture compared to the 2011 picture. I wonder why that is :-)

Nahhh.  hair dye is for people who have no self-confidence 
at all.  Your hair looks really good!  (And I've seen it in person 
recently!).  So unless you're trying to fake out a 30-something 
stud-muffin, I suggest you accept yourself the way you are and be glad 
you have a beautiful healthy head full of hair!  (Dye could change  that 
'healthy' part...).I'm guessing your DH hasn't complained...

What a wonderful photograph!!  I still wish I'd been able to attend
this year, particularly since it was practically in my back yard.

Maybe the next one.
