Dreadlocks!

So, i finally made the decision to get dreadlocks. i've wanted them for a long time, but a number of things have held me back, like being too vain about my hair, what if they dont look good? what will my Mum say? i let it all go, kind of, i'm still worried about what my Mum is going to say! lol. So it was Confest this year that inspired me, and i wanted to do it while the inspiration was fresh.... and while my best friend and hairdresser is still in England! lol! 

So i rallied some gorgeous friends together, shared with them some pictures of dreadlocks and techniques that i liked, set a time and a place... Oh My Goddess! it was really going to happen!

So here we are on dread day!

i'm nervous but excited, can you tell?!

and so it begins! i feed River while we decide how much of my fringe to leave undreaded. 

A few dreads in and Loki decides to come and help out, gorgeous boy, bless you my darling xx

We are joined for a few hours by the lovely Sarah and her men. they come bearing lunch, and Sarah straps on my tired little man while she prepares our feast. Thank you so much for being another mama for River, Sarah, you are so beautiful, i adore you xx

 Grant having a moment with River, too cute.

EEEP!! DREADS!!

 Gorgeous little Sufjan, looking adorable while Ben and Jo work away. These two are so in love, it's so warm and fuzzy to be caught in the middle of them. I want more of both of you xx

The dreading process takes hours... but i enjoy every second, including pulling faces for photos, lol

 We are joined by the lovely Leah later in the evening for some wine time and some awesome conversation. it gets late, we are all a little bleary eyed and we call it a night. Leah drives me home and my car has a sleep over at dread central. thank you Leah, you are such a delight to be with xx

i need to get moving for the day so will do another post with day two's shenanigans... Peace out xxx
