Life goes on and on and on

 I know I have been rather quiet. There has been a lot going on but my want to write about it has been weak.

There have been some nice memorial services for Peter at various conventions. I was either there, or someone was kind enough to tape it. It is nice hearing all these stories about Peter and how people remember him. At the SDCC George Takei copped to the fact that the Jim Beam line in Oblivion was entirely of his doing. Something Peter has been saying for years only to get a “Yeah, sure Peter” in return.

The will is slowly moving forward. We can’t file it until we get a couple of signatures to complete the paperwork needed for the will. Meanwhile I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for other things to happen before I can pick up the trail and move my piece forward on the board of life.

I am, as I told my parents, two puppets behind. Those may get shelved as I move onto creating stock for our table at Dragon Con in the Pop Art section. A name came up that if I had known they were coming I would have gotten their puppet done. Also, this year I have a costume I must build for myself for my brother’s Addam’s family reunion. I have the pants and the shirt. I need a vest, swallow tailcoat, and boot covers.

I miss Joann’s so much right now. I can’t run out and get some fabric. I have found a quilting store near me that has cotton fabric. I know some Micheals have fabric counters. I hear that Walmart and Target have fabric in some of their stores. Right now, what I need is simple things like black lining and buttons. I do have one set I need but am scratching my head where I am going to get the rest. We are supposed to have buttons at our Michaels location. They haven’t come in yet. Apparently, Micheals bought Joann’s materials, and we are starting to get it into our store.

Today I think it is going to be vest and heads since I finally found my puppet eyeballs, I have been looking for over a month. I need to balance my costume and the stock I need to build for DragonCon.

We have a table in the Pop Art Alley. Caroline and her roommate are selling their art, and I will be selling puppets including just puppet bodies that can be turned into your own personal puppet. Then there are the puppet heads. Just heads. Come on by and say Hi. I’ll post the number when I know it.

I need to clean up from the previous project before starting the next one. That and cat boxes need to be cleaned as does their water bowls.

I am grateful for a peaceful mind.
