Valentine's Day Movie night and Hair Extension Crafting! Sunday the 14th at 6:00 PM (EST) ♥️

Good morning!!


I've been going non-stop on the Dining room episodes, but wanted to take a break this Sunday to do something a little different and hopefully super fun...

On Sunday evening (the 14th at 6:00 PM (EST) to celebrate Valentine's day, we're going to watch the MOST romantic movie ever made together and I'm going to show you how to sew some hair extensions! :D 

The movie is going to be 'The Silence of the lambs' and I'll be watching on my end, talking through the whole movie and showing you how to add some Disney Volume to your crowning glory!

For copyright reasons, you won't hear or see the movie from my end, so you'll want to set it up on either your computer or TV separately and I'll just tell you where to start it once we get going :D

This will be more a tutorial than a craft-along, but in case you want to work along with me, here are the things you need...

Unsewn hair extensions wefts

Matching thread

Scissors

Extension Clips

Hair spray

Comb

Hairbrush


This is my LEAST favorite holiday, so let's celebrate it in the most un-glamorously fun way possible.🧟‍♀️

(If hair extensions aren't your bag, please feel free to use this time to eat chocolates, bleach your mustache... whatever you want!)

See you Sunday

-Christine

Valentine's Day Movie night and Hair Extension Crafting! Sunday the 14th at 6:00 PM (EST) ♥️

Comments

Christine, I once watched a video in which you mentioned the shampoo and conditioner that you use on your hair. I can’t find that reference now. Can you please remind me what hair products you use? Because, yanno, I wanna be you when I grow up!

NattiPan Studios

Could you make a craft with my samoyed's shed undercoat? I feel like it would make for great felt :D

Hannah Roberts

Rosemary’s baby still scares me.

Sheila Gustafson

Could you be any more beautiful, talented and cool?!

Giselle

Same here!

Linda

Christine!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it; I can't believe I'd never even heard of it before. The amazing experiments with colour-filters and Technicolor at the end were exquisite. I've recently been obsessed with an App called "Old Movies" - it's Android, only, I think, and they source their films from Youtube, but they organise them into genre, so I've been exploring the "Fantasy" section, much to my delight! Beyond Tomorrow - 1940 (written by a woman) The Deluge - 1933 (an early-talkies pre-code RKO Radio-Picture; it's a bit dark [realistic] but has an amazing Model of NYC!) Topper - with Cary Grant Something called... "It Happened Tomorrow" And an Astrology Murder-Mystery written and Introduced by Manly Palmer Hall and starring Anna May Wong! ("When You Were Born") Also: if you haven't seen the newest Ryan Murphy show, called HOLLYWOOD, it's very interesting. Enjoy! 💜 OH! I'm also reminded, that I once had a picture from a 40's movie, that looked like YOU! I tried to share it somewhere, but we can't upload pics here, and I forget the name... it's possible I shared it on Twitter with the hashtag of your name. If I find it, I'll come back with the name.

Mardi Shakti

Mardi! Thank you SO MUCH for this suggestion! I had never seen it and watched it last night... it was BEAUTIFUL! The story was so eerie and romantic! Also, I had no idea Joseph Cotten was that attractive!!

Christine McConnell

Thanks, Helen. I have messaged her before but she didn't reply; I might put the link in there, anyway!

Mardi Shakti

I'm sure she reads the comments, but you can send her a message, not sure if you have to be in one of the upper tiers for that?!

helen crawford

You could make some and THEN curl them?

Mardi Shakti

HOW CAN I SUGGEST THIS MOVIE TO CHRISTINE? I think she'll like it! https://youtu.be/qmF3rL2HadU

Mardi Shakti

Hahahahahaha!! I shouldn’t laugh cuz I know it’s a thing, but “bleach your mustache” had me cracking up.

Jonathan Schell

Same with me. I wasn't able to see it. All that came up was a yellow duck image. But I can access other things in patreon

Raine Scott

I think it’s the acronym for silence of the lambs :)

Brieann Chapple

Making hair extensions while watching silence of the lambs 😂😂😂 👀

Brieann Chapple

Omg I love that she said bleach your mustache🤣 That’s why I love her!

Liz Balmaseda

😭 I have super curly hair, can’t find good quality hair extensions for curly hair. The few available are $$$$. Need to learn to make my own.

Sandra

Sorry to be stupid but is there a link that i'm missing to get into this?

helen crawford

Just got some new wefts I want to sew into a halo! Valentines blows. Psyched!

Liz Ard

Looking forward to it!

Suzanne Robinson

Don't judge me, but what is SOTL?

Suzanne Robinson

Same! Vday has been a jinx for us too!

Kathleen Rear

Yeah! And so weird the Valentine's Day releases of horror movies! Feb 14 of 1931 Bela Lugosi as Dracula was released across the USA! So it turns 90 on the same day!

Tim Metcalf

Yes, so campy and bizarre! Loved the 60s style they nailed!

Tim Metcalf

So excited! Another good one to watch for Valentine’s Day (if you haven’t seen it yet) is The Love Witch! 🖤

Lauren Loflin

Sexy photo!

Belle Summer

I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but SOTL turns 30 on V-day! :)

Tim Metcalf

Seriously, here is an article about why Silence of the Lambs is the perfect movie for February 14th!

Tim Metcalf

❤️hello Christine from back in time antiques Redlands ca ❤️ laura

Laura Pennington

That's 3 am on February 15th in Denmark! Gonna have to watch the recording the next day, but sounds like a fun Valentines get-together!

Sally

Sounds like a nice way to do Valentine's Day! Ditto on the second Halloween!!

Sonya Colley

Omg I can't wait for this!! Haven't watched Silence of the Lambs in a hot minute so this will be great. You'll have to do a count down or something of when to push the start button so we're all relatively close lol

DC

One of my favorite of scary movies. Enjoying "Hannibal" on Netflix.

Lynn

I love Valentine’s Day too ! I love to make cookies and give them to friends and family that I like and make a special meal for my husband. It’s not much, but they love it. A good cookie is always a good path to someone’s heart. BUT ... I would love to have two Halloween’s ! My favorite time of the year and my favorite holiday ! Soo ... if we are voting for a second Halloween count me in ! !! 😍

Angell Cloxen

Awww i love that film - my mam saw it in the cinema when she was preggos with me, maybe it's why i like horror? 😂

Amy Watler-Thomas

Your profile is the best! NBC is my favourite movie.

Scribby Scribner

I wish I had a moustache to bleach! :D Maybe I can make extensions for a moustache ...

Marielle Bodenheimer

BEST. IDEA. EVER!!! (Especially because a lot of us who have had covid have also had alot of hair loss. Yes, its really a thing). Christine, you're the BEST! 🥰🙌💃

Hope Ohana

You remind me of a poison apple. Beautiful smart alluring refreshing with a little something extra you’re not quite sure what it is. ❤️

Corinne Eve

That's a good idea. I have dreadlocks down past my bottom, maybe I could crochet some👍🏼🖤🖤

Liana Palumbo

Bleach your moustache 🤣I love that!! I HATE Valentine's Day, I think it sends out a very wrong message to young people, but making it into "Morbidtines Day" is awesome. I need to figure out what time it'll be here in South Australia. Anyone know how to do that?? 🖤🖤xx

Liana Palumbo

Yay! Silence of the Lambs?...🤞

Elizabeth Goans

See, I knew you'd do a twist on Valentine's, lol......(I don't like it either, except for the chocolate) but I figured you'd come up with something.

Judy Campanella

Bleach your moustache 😂😂😂

Louise Hartley

Yes!

Jane Good

Can't wait 💕💀🖤

Lucy Louise

How fun!! Can't wait 🖤

Lindsey

Totally agree about Valentines day! Never liked it! But this sounds like fun! I was just going to watch your last years show since I love it so much!

Oaknwichlane June G

Love this!! Can’t wait!!

Jessica Darne

My boyfriend goes back to college on Sunday. I won’t have to spend Valentine’s Day alone now! Thanks Christine 🖤🕷🍫

Seaira

It would have been funny to make handmade lotion... Hehehe looking forward to it regardless ❤🔪🐑

Lea Moran

Hahaha bleach your mustache 🤣 or just shaving my legs 😆

cassie ward

I can't wait! Does anyone have recommendations on where to purchase hair wefts? Christine, you look gorgeous!

Julie Holtz

Oh, thank you for this! Valentines Day in the past has never worked out my hubby and I. The worst was on our way to our restaurant reservation and we were involved in a vehicle accident. Needless to say, we don't make plans on this holiday. This year however, I will be telling everyone I know of my wonderful plans with Christine McConnell watching the movie with DeVil (my cat) as my date. 🖤

Nellie Garcia

When people ask me what my favorite Rom - Com is I always tell them Hannibal. They think I'm joking.

Elizabeth Martinez

Hello! It just means that there are no clips already sewn in and the band at the top hasn't been cut into various widths already. :D

Christine McConnell

So we need a brag photo that we can post online Valentines day to show we got a date with the beautiful and crafty Christine McConnell! I know this photo would be good but having one edited for that reason would be super fun! Love ya girl, I'm here for the hair tutorial! Just so you know you are my first and only patreon subscription, love and hugs to you and your fur babies!

Luciikwe

What does an "unsewn weft" look like? I'm trying to find some but I know nothing about extensions.

Uzannesay

Yay!

Megan

Anybody point me in the direction of a good mailing address for Christine? Thanks

Amber L Haden

can't wait

Nicole Clem

yasssss! Make me beautiful!

Drea

Looking forward to it!!

Jennifer Edwards

Fun!!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I don't have any hair extensions, so maybe I'll just crochet some black hearts and spiders instead. Unless I figure out a way to crochet extensions ahead of time, hahaha!!!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

I shall be drinking hot chocolate and wearing my jammies, as it will be 11pm here! (I may immac my ‘tash in solidarity though 😁)

Deborah

Hello! YES! It's going to be EST, For some reason I have a hard time remembering the right one now :D

Christine McConnell

I'm guessing it will be 6 PM EST.

Tiffany Hicks

Fun! Excited to get creeped out on V day!

Emily Masterson

Is it 6 EST or PST? I am assuming the email is wrong and this is right but can anyone confirm?

Molly Pruitt

Sounds like fun to me!!! 😊🖤

Carla Perea Seminaro

I just told my captive about this and he asked if we would be having fava beans and a nice chianti. 🙄🙄

Andrea Moore

Great Ideas and I’ve never Liked Valentine’s Day either! Lol 🤷‍♀️👩‍💻🖤

Tammy Robinson

Finally something to look forward to on the dreaded Valentine's Day!! Thank you Christine!!🖤💜🖤💜

Danielle Gutierrez

Yes!!! Same here!!!🖤💜

Danielle Gutierrez

Now THAT should be a holiday! 😋😋😋

Danielle Gutierrez

This is fantastic! I love this idea; just brilliant way to make this weekend actually fun!

Morgen Meier

Looking forward to it! I love your tutorials though am not a fan of horror movies (especially Silence of the Lambs!), so will follow along and be watching something less spooky. :)

Ricky Cheung

Did you see that CBS has a new show that premiers this Thursday called Clarice? It looks like it could be good!

Maggie Proffitt

I'll just sit and comb my beard and join in the chatter. And seeing as this is one of my favourite movies and my partner and I refuse to celebrate Valentine's Day, this is the perfect alternative. My friend used to always run an "Anti-Valentine's Rocky Horror Picture Show" on either the Friday or Saturday night of the weekend closest to Valentine's Day for all us who sought refuge from the Hallmark holiday. She can't this year because all the clubs and bars are still shut here in Ireland because of the pandemic. Hopefully we'll be able to return to it next year.

Tadgh Kirby

...maybe dye my hair and then eat or try my hand at making those delicious moth and spool chocolates you made last year! MMmmmmm

Sherrie Potgieter

So excited about this. This is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for doing this, Christine. See you Sunday.

Mononoke Adams

Yay! V Day plans with my favorite bae ☺️ LOVE the timing 🙏

Sarah Miller

Fun! I will be there!

Maggie Jordan

How exciting, can't wait xx

Patricia Dunn

LOL. Too funny. I'll be there!

Angela Jones

Lol I'll be stuffing chocolates into my mouth.. great movie pick, can't wait!!

Heather Brown

Bleach your mustache lol

Taylor Makenzie

I'm so excited for that!

Summer Rose Barnes

Love it. My hair has grown so much in quarantine extensions will just add to it

Summer Rose Barnes

Looking forward to the livestream! I may be the odd one here that likes Valentine's Day, but now you're making it even better. Thank you!

Sonya Colley

Alas, I'll be at rehearsal. Have lots of fun!

Mina Murray

Can’t wait!

Katie Brunero

Love this!! I hate Vday, too! Not sure about the extensions, I too have 'white trash wavy' hair lol, that I wear in a 60s flip, but I might try them!

Jill Poudrette

YAY!!!

Angela Pearson

hahahaha bleach your mustache! I love you!

Heather Jaynes

I am trying to figure out wigs, so this will actually be interesting to see how I can add more volume to them, hopefully! Excited to see this! Also, Silence of the Lambs is one of the best.

Nicholas Frig

I’ve been waiting for this hair crafting. I have always loved Christine’s hair stylings.

Amanda Howe

Great idea! Love it. Any recommendations on length of weft? Might just get as long as possible🤔. Can't wait to dig out the DVD. I haven't watched silence of the lambs in ages. Happy unvalentines everyone. 🥰

Germaine

Yesss! And don’t forget to celebrate National half-price chocolate day on February 15th. Treat yourself!

Amanda Denery

SWEET! I'm also not a fan of Valentines day..... It's just weird....

Sara Logan

Truth spoken, right there

Sara Logan

Christine, never second guess your choices for craft alongs or videos. You could have a video of you opening mail and we will still watch cuz we all know you would go Extra!! Can’t wait to watch the movie!

Rez NYC

Never mind - I see that you switched it to EST. <3

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Yaaassss!!! Tbh I’m so bad at putting my clip in though I usually just end up doing tape ins when I want more hair loo

Nikki

This is going to be awesome!!!

Gina Radford

So excited! There is also a new series premiering called “Clarice” on Thursday, (CBS) that looks interesting, obviously no Jodie Foster! (😔)

Kelsey Hourigan

Best way to celebrate! Looking forward to it!

Marie Nemirovsky

Christine - I just want to make sure though that you mean "PST" instead of the "EST" that you've been using. So you'll be starting at 9pm your time, correct? Excited for this!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Bleach is standing by. And now officially looking forward to the Hallmark holiday this year.

Casey Killoran

YES GIRL!! You read my mind! I love you, i HATE valentines too! This idea is PERFECT! Thank You!!!! :)

helen crawford

“Bleach you mustache!”😂 That’s hilarious! See you soon!

Sufani Garza

Omg I hate it too! I always thought it should be changed to Halloween 2! LOL 🎃

Rez NYC

Great! I have ready to go hair extensions I have to pull to bits, dye and make pin curls with. Perfect timing.

Branwen Frost

Love it. My friends and I used to all watch The Shining together on Valentine’s Day with bloody Mary’s

Genevieve Fernety

Sounds like fun!

Tammy R Dowden

Excited!!
