Mood: Great, as always… What can I say, I’m a happy happy person ^_^
Listening to: I gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
A lot of things has gone down since I wrote last… irch.. when I write it like that it sounds bad… but rest assured that bad things don’t happen to me… But things have happened, and it’s been mundane…
So… I decided to make Potter Puppets… If you have no idea what that is check out Potter Puppet Pals, just start at the bottom and work yourself up… It’s a hoot.
So, I decided to make a Snape and a Lucius. It’s not like I’m going to sell them or make shows.. it’s just to keep myself busy and not lose my mind from not having a job to do.
So yeah… I started with an odd head shape.. elongated head/face… and wool yarn for hair.. and I just sowed by hand along the edges… attached ears and so on.. and turned them inside out. 
Here you can see with the wool yarn hair and the oddly shaped head with ears…
Needless to say that the dark haired one is Snape… even with nose =D
So then I started working on Lucius.
Honestly, they look like an 80’s puddle rock band… or Weird Al Yankowitch with blond follower…
They are a bit blurry… they had a few too many drinks last night…
I still have some stuff left to do on them. Lucius’ hair is too long, so I have to cut it, but I still have to attach more blond hair to his head. A long and tedious job, but it has to be done. The man will snare me down if I don’t. Well, he will anyway, but that’s what we all love about him :3
So yeah.. I have yet to make the body and the arms. But I will get there…
Ages and ages ago I bought loads of black fabric so I could make a black cow snuggly costume for myself. It was going to be huge and just really a “thank god it’s afternoon” costume type thing.
The other day I ripped apart a one piece PJ thing I had from years and years back… yes, it still fit… but it was falling apart, which is why I decided it was time to put it to sleep. So I ripped up the stitching and measured out longer legs and stuff, a little wider around the middle… and it turns out the stupid lady in the store I bought the fabric at didn’t give me enough fabric… I said 2.5 meters, she claimed 2 meters would be enough… -_-
I wasn’t pleased… However, this illusive Panda jacket I’ve been talking about making, has black fabric.. or I have black fabric for it, and I was thinking that I could use some of that. Great idea, if you ask me… It doesn’t have to be perfect.. it’s just something I’ll be walking around in at home… snuggling…
So yeah… Now I need to make the Panda Jacket so that I know how much fabric is left for me.
The other day I also discovered a site, I was really told about it ages ago, but I’ve never really been there till a few days ago. Rifftrax. If you’re an MST3K fan you’ll know all about Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and the rest… well, they’ve gotten together and made this site, I guess, where they take just about any movie and riff it… And I do mean any movie. If you want to check out the site I do recommend that you have a look at “Star Wars VI”… it had me in stitches… I laughed so hard I cried… and that’s been a loooong time since I’ve done that.
And in other news…
Jan was at the DMV the other day to pick up some papers on the scooter we have, and I asked him if he could ask them about the rules and stuff for me getting the licence.. if they had changed etc.
When he came home he said I just needed to hand in papers from the doctor saying I’m well; papers from an eye doctor saying I use glasses, but that I’m otherwise fine… and that’s it… send in the papers, and they send me the licence in the post… I don’t even have to take a test =D
On that note I’d like to post pictures of my beloved helmet… the one I’ll be using when I wroom around like a mad person ^_^
Yes, it has butterflies, but I can’t help but loving them.. I waited like three months or so for the person on Ebay to get it back into stock so that I could get it.. and I saved a bundle too.. hehe..
I don’t know what it is about butterflies, but lately I’ve been all “Must Have!” with them…
Which is why, basically, I have my “new” cellphone full of them… But they are cute ^_^
Oh, that reminds me.. I have to fix some things on my cell…
Anyways… update as soon as I can be bothered…
