Two more weeks till summer break and it's all report cards and packing for us in Garden Hill. Ender and I are moving into another unit which is smaller but also has a far superior layout and should be much more secure than our current unit. If you recall earlier in the year our unit was broken into and our 'front' door was broken beyond repair. We have since sealed it up, but it will be nice to have our stuff locked away in a unit that has only one entrance that can be seen from the road.

I'm also just finishing up a pair of moccasins for Ender. Since March Break the High School has been running a beading workshop on Wednesday evenings. I've been learning how to bead and sew my own gathered toe moccasins. I finished a pair for myself a few weeks ago but now that the workshops are no longer being held I've been slacking a bit.
Recently I ordered this book by Christi Belcourt, a Metis bead work artist, which I am very excited about. Next year I want to do some kind of art project with the kids that involves bead work designs and pointillism. The book also comes with a folio of images from the book that can be assembled to make a larger image that might make for good classroom wall decoration... depending on how much wall space I end up having.
I don't think I'll be writing another post about Garden Hill till the fall. Ender and I will be spending our vacation visiting family and friends. We are also doing an art residency at Spark Box Studio in Picton. Ender will be writing and I will be printing and we are both very excited to have some time to work on personal projects.
Have a lovely summer!
