well, i chickened out of getting adella's hair cut short. though she did get two inches cut off the back, and her bangs trimmed and thickened a little, it basically looks the same. less scruffy, though. and maybe, just maybe, it will stay out of her face a little better. before (also immediately after nap and before bath) after so, i finally blocked the sweater i made for adella. and i even sewed the buttons on. it looks so good! i'm really happy with how it turned out, and even better, it fits great too! adella wore it for a little while today - long enough for me to take a few pictures...
