Lily was the picture of a little ballerina at her recital yesterday.
And the bun? Kicked every other bun’s ass.
Thank you all for your help, I couldn’t have done it without you!
(And this was a great step by step tutorial, should you need to do some bun making yourself. Thanks, Colby!!)

Indeed – perfect bun – you did not mention how long it took, though.
And hopefully a nice recital too!
Happy Mother’s Day!

She looks beautiful and so does her bun! Great job.
T Rex Mom- It took under ten minutes start to finish. Once I knew how, it was a breeze. Next on my list: French braiding. I’m just 20 years behind schedule. :)
You Rock!!! That is great! And – FYI – my friend Sandy who lives in TN braids. She works the Renn Fest and can do french braids and fancy ones too.
Nice job Mom!

I can’t french braid either. I know in my head how to do it but my fingers DO NOT function properly to actually execute the braid!!!
There’s online tutorials for it as well ~ I’ve watched many :)

Great job- another quick way to do it is one I learned in the Army years ago, ladies had to wear their haor in a bun almost 24/7, and we had to have it neat and perfect all the time, so we used a sock! Check out this video for the ‘how’ to- I am able to get my hair in a perfect bun in about a minute now!

OK, first of all, LOVE your blog. This is my first visit here. I also wanted to come see who was giving you such trouble last night. Awwww. What a beautiful girl! How is it possible that such sweet little packages can come out with some demanding and defying attitudes? My 2.5 yr old princess is beginning to exert her girl attitude. Fun stuff. I’m bookmarking your site. I will be back! Have a great day~~
I myself am a big fan of the bun…at 39. I love it, easy and very flattering.
