My goal is to have it ready for mold making by July 7th.<br \/>Yesterday, I went to the Godtown house (my 2nd studio =) with the intention of working on Mary. Instead, I helped plant flowers for the first hour or so. They had received a big donation for the community garden. Hey, but it&#8217;s all beauty, right?
