Grandma (and I) decided that we really didn't like that big bun on the back of her head. It kept getting in the way if she wanted to wear a hat. Or even try on new clothes...
So I gave her a haircut.
I'm still fighting with the old bun to give up more hair that I can reuse. I do have some mohair with some grey in it. Hopefully, I can give Grandma a new hairstyle that will be flattering and more "Grandma-like."
All of the little old ladies I have known have had a perm. They also went to the beauty parlor once a week for a wash and set. Did your Grandma do that?
Poor Grandma has a broken left leg too. I thought she looked a little "weak in the knees" in her last photo. I'm not sure how to fix that?
I promised her a new dress for enduring the scissors. So far, she has only shed a few tears...
I hope she doesn't get mad!

Kathi, Cynthia Howe has some good tutorials on putting dolls together and doing hair on her website. http://www.cynthiahoweminiatures.com/tutorialindex.htm This will take you directly to the index for different tutorials.
If you need more help, e mail me and send me a couple of different views of Grandma, so that I can see how she is put together from the side. Maybe I can help.
Thanks Casey. I need all the help I can get! :D
