*Piles tables full-to-groaning with yummies like homemade cakes and cookies, fruits and nuts, fresh tea, juice, coffee... *

One year ago I joined LHC. I had already discovered henna, but thanks to LHC I discovered a number of other things - like Etsy, and the skilled hairtoy makers there and other places.

This is my first length shot, taken in July last year - hair was a bit below waist at the time.

This is the latest length picture, taken during the Easter holiday. My hair isn't much longer than this now, since I have been trimming to get rid of yucky ends.

I have become skilled at braiding, learning four strand and even six-strand round braids - here is my six strand braid:

I have learned the joys of having dangerous hair - here with my Legolas knives:

I have learned to love gorgeous woods - here is a GTS in Tulipwood

Learned to enjoy unlikely materials for my hairtoys, like glass...

Your hair looks amazing! Are you sure you aren't nearer BCL or TB than hip? It looks so lovely and long. :) And what a collection of hairtoys too, cripes. Hope you don't mind if I ask, where did you find the stone hairstick? (And what bun is it in?)

Yes, I concur! And the very first picture looks hip rather than just past waist too :D. You have lovely hair and it looks so shiny and healthy!

Gorgeous! Love the colour and the shine :D

I also think you are closer to TB than hip.

Another person here wanting to know where you found the stone hairstick and what bun it's in too ;)

Happy hairiversary. It is fun to get a year's distance between photos and see the difference. What a great collection of hair toys and an amazing head of hair that can support so many at once.

Thank you for all the lovely comments! :flower:

To get all the questions and such answered:

My length pictures - the picture taken in July last year - I actually was about three or four cm past waist then - for some odd reason, my hair looks somewhat longer than ir is in that picture. It may have something to do with my brother taking the picture - he is a fair bit taller than I am. I did not reach hip until that autumn, in October, I think it was.
Right now I have about an inch until I am at tailbone, and the picture taken in April is not that much shorter, since I have been trimming monthly and will do so for some time yet. So I won't gain much length for a while.

I got the Legolas knives here (http://getasword.com/1083-miniature-lotr-fighting-knives-of-legolas.html).

I found the stone stick on ebay last summer, and I am wearing it in a nautilus bun. The seller called the material "hemo jade" but the only "jade" in that pin was in the seller's description! :p Not that I mind - I love the shape and the color! I actually took it to a geologist at the Geological Museum here in Oslo and asked him if he knew what kind of stone it was made of. He was far from sure, but he thought it probably was some kind of jasper or chalcedony.

I bought the very queenly hairtoy in the last picture and the one in my avatar at Elrond's Emporium (http://www.etsy.com/shop/ElrondsEmporium) on Etsy. Calaelen has seriously enabled me when it comes to vintage hairtoys! :o

The picture for the "Wear all your hairtoys at once" thread is a fun one - but only one of many in that thread!
