Have you ever gone to the dermatologist to have a Have you ever gone to the dermatologist to have a full body skin cancer screening?  A few years ago I had a suspicious spot on my hip removed.  Luckily, it was not skin cancer.  My dad had a cancerous mole removed years ago so now I get a screening every year and just had mine today.  Everything looked good which was a huge relief.  But I had had a small nodule/bump thing on my nose that they called something (can't remember) and even though she was not worried about it (I've had it for probably 10 years?) I've been wanting to get it removed.  Well I did today!  I figured I might as well do it now while we're all wearing masks so it'll cover the bandage. Tomorrow i can wear a regular small band-aid so that'll be a lot less obvious. 🤪 Of course they sent the bump off to be biopsied to be sure it was nothing.  Fingers crossed.

As promised, pics of the back and side-ish. My ha As promised, pics of the back and side-ish.  My hairdresser didn't want to shave the back so she scissor-cut it very close to the head.  Then she wouldn't buzz the ears because of the ear angle, yada yada yada... If I can envision it I can pretty much make it happen.  So I buzzed the back and ears and never had to touch the angle at the ears and I'm happy.  Mission complete>>>on to the next project.

So...I did a thing. I got my hair cut last week a So...I did a thing.  I got my hair cut last week and it wasn't quite what I had envisioned so I did what every other normal person would do - I grabbed the scissors and started chopping.  Ok, maybe not what any normal person would do but I consider myself a closet hairdresser.  I mean, I cut both daughters hair, my hubby's hair, my daughter's boyfriend's hair and even my own hair so that means I'm qualified, right?  Well this cut also involved clippers, too. 😯✂️ Actually, I'm much happier with the new results and I'll try to get one of the kids to snap a pic of the back tomorrow.
Have you ever cut your own hair?  Would you try it?

I just started needle felting and these are two of I just started needle felting and these are two of my completed projects.  Needle felting is quite interesting.  As much as I like it I find it kind of nerve-racking, too.  Getting a blob of wool to react to my stabbing and then turn into an actual figure is almost anxiety producing at this point.  Hopefully my insecurities will diminish as I become more experienced with it.  Have you ever tried needle felting? 🐀🐑
