A Sunny Sunday

There is this big yellow glowing ball in the sky that I have not seen in a while. It is making all the icy white cold white stuff go away rapidly. The temperature is quite nice too and if the wind dies down it is going to be a lovely day outside.

E-bay is an amazing place. Remember those McCall Sesame Street patterns from 1983 that I found out about? Well I now have all the stuffed versions, one of the two puppet versions with another puppet version on the way. These things are doggone cute too. I am more interesting in the mechanics of the puppets that they designed for kids so I am going to be experimenting with the patterns. Thank goodness I have plenty of tracing paper because I really want to keep these in one piece for now. I still think their new rules and regulations are kind of stupid and will probably keep me from selling there.

I had to repair a drawer in the kitchen yesterday. I so love wood glue and string and large rubber bands. It makes life so much easier to repair things. Next on the docket is silverware drawer that need a little repair too. I like being handy.

Caroline has declared this tantrum day. We keep going from one crisis to another with little breaks of normal Caroline in between. Peter and I are hoping that she is not coming down with some sort of bug. This behavior usually happens right before she gets really sick. *sigh*

Well off to sort some video wires and re-hook up some game stations.

I hope you have a good Sunday (except if you are now experiencing Monday and I hope that turns out to be a good day too)

I am grateful for the ability to work out wiring in my head.

Tracing paper is good if you want to wind up with the same kind of crinkly-paper patterns as the originals. If you're wanting sturdy, reusable-forever ones, go to JoAnn's and buy "template plastic" from the quilting section. That's what I use for all my stuffed animal patterns. Transparent for tracing, takes pencil or marker, edges never fray.

I may have to do that after I finish the experiment. Mwaaahaahaahaaahaaa...Sorry my inner mad scientist took over *grin*

I have been getting your e-mails and sending replies back that are bouncing. You are still using Verizon as your email carrier right?

About the bear. You show it to me and we can tell Caroline that it is not hers. At 5 going on 6 she might not like it but she can understand it.

Verizon, yes, and I've been getting mail okay afaict. Huh. Can't be your typo, if you're just hitting reply. Weird.
