MAY MADE

I posted some 'making' on the Phoenix Blog but had more! ..so here it is the mega making stuff in May share!

Donovan Boy had fun researching and making his first large project for school, his shelter was an Iroquois longhouse complete with farming gardens.

He also completed his crocheted hat which the rest of the family have all donned in the past few weeks, very comfy and fun!

Among other custom orders this month, Phoenix made a gnome head, two wool paintings, a waldorf doll that went off to England and a pregnant art doll!

Family Outings

Some of you may know we have been courting the idea of moving to San Diego, it's still dependent on many things but we are putting in an offer on this house, which screams California quirky and may lead to a major life move! We shall see.....

Geo dome home in Jamul on 2 acres, we would like to buy and fix up...
