So yesterday I went through my supplies and, much to my astonishment, am out of the pink fleece that I use for many puppets. I found a bunch of other fabrics I am using for other projects but not the basic puppet fleece that I have been using for years. Now I am concerned that since I need it, I won\u2019t be able to find it which would not make me very happy.<\/p>\n

It is off to the cloth store today for that and some cheap fabric to make a mock-up of the X-Men uniform so I can create the pattern for the final version. <\/p>\n

I did find that lost roll of foam that I couldn\u2019t find last time so I am good on foam for this round of puppet building.<\/p>\n

This week is going to be a bit tricky because Peter is off to San Diego as of tomorrow so I become the sole parent. Also Wednesday we have tickets for the Marvel screening of \u201cCaptain America\u201d that will take up a chunk of the day as well. <\/p>\n

But I hope to get puppet bodies done, the rocket pack for Granny, redone hands on Nicky, and a few other repairs and clean-ups done on a couple of pieces before jumping head first into the next phase of the big project. <\/p>\n

I did find a can of adhesive so I think I am good to go on that. <\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t checked the eye-ball box but I think I have what I need for the Firefly puppets. I do need a little more hot glue.<\/p>\n

Hair is sorted out. I am trying to find some doll wigs that will fit the puppets that aren\u2019t made for newborning baby dolls. I may have found them. I did find the Sarah Jane wig again.<\/p>\n

Assembling the pieces that I need can almost be as time consuming as doing the actual project. Especially when I know I have to find one piece to complete the project which will be at a dead halt until I do so. My mind is more comfortable knowing I have everything I need so I can just start and go forward.<\/p>\n

Going over the list of what I want to do, I have a majority of what I need. It is now to those fiddling bits that seem to take the longest to find.<\/p>\n

I also need to remind myself to take pictures of the process since I tend to work through things and then go \u201cYa know I really should have taken a shot of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I leave you with a shot taken by Chad Smith during our rendition of \u201cIt\u2019s Ok to be Takei\u201d from Shoreleave 2011<\/p>\n

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
\n(For the VI: on the left hand side of the photo is Meg dressed in black with a round hat on her head. In motion (so he\u2019s rather blurred) is Nicky the puppet. He has green skin, an orange nose, black hair and is wearing a Star Trek red shirt. Meg\u2019s right hand is in his right hand. My hands are in his head and his left hand. I am standing in the middle wearing a black cap with a red choir robe with black trim which approximated the first costume we see Q in if you squint. To the right of me is Rod the puppets. He has blue skin, a green nose, white hair, blue antenna and is wearing a blue shirt. He is a hand and rod puppet. To the far right is Ariel in black with a round black cap on her head.)<\/p>\n

I am grateful for what I found yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
