Puppets

It’s been a while since I made a puppet. Perhaps it is also time to store them properly.

 My husband has been floating around the idea of doing a puppet show, and for it I’d need to create a few more puppet characters. Currently I have five; three small and two large. They are all either unceremoniously tossed inside a bag next to or plopped on top of a bookcase where I keep my fabric stash. It’s sad, really. Perhaps it is time to make stands for them and possibly keep them in the guest room for the time being. Of course, anywhere would be better than decapitated and sandwiched between a quilt and some cotton batting!

I seen some made from simple PVC pipes that seem to work really well. I’m sure something like that would work for the smaller puppets. The larger ones, however, may either need more support or just have to sit on the futon. I think they look pretty good just sitting there. In any case, I’ve got to do something with them other than what I’ve been doing.

Crappy Plumbing

Seriously, we moved out of a house that had horrific issues with the kitchen sink and into a much newer house with silly plumbing issues. Grrr… AARGH!!!

Okay, so perhaps the two simply cannot be compared. However, it is quite tiring to find a puddle under the sink because whoever installed the pipes didn’t take into account things like, say, measurements, before cutting and putting them together. Of course, we still have most of our extra PVC pipes from the old house and I’m sure I could fix the problem myself, the quarter after six in-the-morning time I usually find this problem hinders my motivation to do so. Alas, I suppose that if I want something done I’ve got to do it myself… especially since we already got the problem taken off our rent when we moved in because I thought I had remedied it back then.
