Puppets Are Hard Taskmasters.
Hey,
It is a slightly better day here today.
Still with heavy grey skies but there are growing patches of blue sky and intermittent sunshine which is very welcome.
.
An online friend did write to me to express surprise at the total and complete lack of any political commentary in my Posts recently, what with an election and all.
My reply to Nelly….see comments to Busy Day…. is the only thing that I have to say on the matter.
.
Now to more pleasant things for me.
During the night I awoke thinking about a suitable coat for my puppet, and I had a revelation of a ‘coaty’ nature.
I got up straight away and spent the early hours creating a garment that is a cross between The Phantom Of The Opera and an Issey Miyake creation…..with faux diamond encrusted black buttons….and black velvet and felt.
It was a very successful idea.
Mind you, I would not wear it myself….a much larger version of course….unless I was totally out of my head!
.
There is probably another three hours of sewing to do and then I should be finished, apart from unforseen accidents like my last one, when I sewed on the little sleeves with the material the wrong way round and had to unpick it all again.
It is sometimes a really hard thing not to throw everything in the bin and forget the whole idea asap.
But the air was definitely a distinct shade of blue!
.
Big H has finally received his new rotisserie attachment for his barbecue, and the thing for taking the temperature of the meat should arrive today.
He tells me I am getting barbecue’ lemon roast chicken’ today.
I cannot wait.
.
Enjoy your own day, hopefully puppet free!
