hang10tiki it was a couple of mm's deep and I wanted to pull it out fast but the photo op stopped me. Thank you for the fun card, you are so dang cute! I'm with Dan so my day will be wonder.

littlegiles it is a momentous occasion. Dan took me to a mall! I found a new pillow 70% off and two pairs of warm nighties at 50% off. Amazon is knocking off the stores one by one. So many empty stalls and so few shoppers. It's sad.

Back to work on Phase Five Wish List #8 projects. I finished casting all the coconuts I would need and now it was time to start casting the Hot Tub Hula Girls.

I have three molds. This is one piece of one mold.

I put them all together and then I build clay to hold the funnels. They hold slip so that I don't need to come out and top them off every 10 minutes. I keep the built up clay in a plastic bag when not using them so that they last for as long as I need them.

These girls are left in the mold overnight so that their waists can support their upper bodies. So each morning Scrabble was there to join me.

She just spotted Scottie coming to join us.

I take apart each mold and place each piece facing the fans that will dry them.

The queen of the garage keeps a close eye on me.

First I put each girl into a separate bag. I line them up on a hard wooden placemat.

Then I slip all three and the board into a gallon size plastic bag. I re-use these for years.

I do this because I may not get to work on these for months. But I've beat the cold winter out in the garage by planning ahead.

Cheers, Wendy
