Headed to Memphis
As some of you may know, I am the Seminar Chair for Share-A-Stitch XXXI, the Tennessee Valley Region’s annual embroidery conference. SAS XXXI is scheduled for June 2011. If you are a member of EGA (or want to be a member) please consider coming to Birmingham, AL for this three day event!
Anyway, I am headed up to Memphis to spend the weekend with the Dean of Faculty. I am excited to participate in class selection for the event, in part because I have never been a part of this process before. I mean, how cool to see all of the proposals and watch the process for selecting classes unfold. From this point forward, the chairman job will demand more of my attention. So please understand if I am distracted!
Oh, and on a completely unrelated topic. Yesterday and today, my hair was curly. I often let it dry naturally, but it has been too cold to do that for a few months. My hair used to be super straight, but it got wavy after my thyroid problem presented itself. I started using a straightening iron about ten years ago. For the last two days, I have noticed a lot of soft curls, something that would have required a permanent wave to accomplish in the past. It has been so long since I had a perm, I can barely remember how to handle curly hair.

Curly hair handling 101:
- Use a microfiber towel and don’t rub your hair to dry it.
- Fluff it gently with your fingers as it drys to release the curl.
- Don’t fight it, baby!!
Have fun in Memphis!!!
Helping to pick out the classes sounds like a lot of fun!
I have never had curly hair (except for my bad 80s perm days…LOL!), so I don’t have any tips for that. I very rarely use a hair dryer…which does make it quite interesting when it’s cold out.
