Oh... and here is my mother-in-law's doll Noni. I gave it to her as a gift years ago and I gifted her the houndstooth jacket and bowler hat she's wearing here.
But I think the most exciting thing I did craft wise was working with Joan (my mother-in-law) and finally creating a relatively decent pair of holokuu dresses for the girls, we decided to do a modification of the A line dress featured on pucci collective and we came up with these...
And this is Wren next to a lovely Ohia blossom. sporting one of the little Hawaiian shirts I made.
And here's Cheri hanging at a little salt and pepper snorkel beach...
But I think the most fun we had was on the black sand beach. Where we had the luck of seeing five (FIVE!) turtles come up onto the beach to sun themselves on the warm sand...
I couldn't get all five into the shot but you get the picture, it was a pretty exciting day.
And thanks to Joan I had use of some fantastic hula props for the pictures...
As you can see Cheri is holding a pair of Pu'ili (a sort of slatted bamboo slap stick) which Joan lent to me, and Wren has next to her a nice 'Uli 'Uli or feathered gourd, which was a gift from Joan. : )
And this was just for fun.
Much love and Aloha to you all. And mahalo to our friends in Hawaii, you made us feel so welcome!
