The Worleys

 We are Puppet coaches at our church.  The kid have a competition coming up soon, and the kids have noticed some of our puppets need repairs.  Imagine!  Most of the puppets are only 15-20 years old!  They are the same puppets that Jay and Jenni used in high school, only older!  Making repairs to the body is not hard.  Just need a sewing machine or a needle and thread.  Been there, done that many times. However, most of the puppets need new hair.  I have never done that before.  So I googled how to make puppet hair, to no avail.  How to use craft fur for puppet hair, nothing out there.  I took a good look at my puppet's hair.                   Just some simple stitching all around the wig. Just how hard could this be?  Anything would be an improvement!  So I dug in.  First step....remove the current head of hair.  Not hard at all.  Just a simple hemming stitch all around.  Now I have a bald puppet!

It has been a month since I have posted.  Since then, blogger has changed a few things.  I need to add to the blog more often so I am not so surprised when it is different!  However, they could not fool me!  I managed to navigate to the New Post section all by myself!  I am sure there was something for me to read when I first signed on....but I grew up hearing the phrase--"If all else fails, read the directions!"  And I put it into practice at a very early age! Now on to the more interesting stuff!  February was Rod's birthday month!  It felt like it took us forever to be able to all get together for a meal to celebrate.  Rod chose Cheddar's -- a family favorite.  Afterwards we all went to Rod and Jenni's for cake.  Glorious cake!  I love cake! It has been a tradition this year that Ava helps us blow out our candles.  For Rod's birthday, she wore a Princess crown while she helped!  Those colored squiggly things are the candles.  Ava arranged those, too!
