A Sunny Sunday

[puppetmaker]

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.
