    Advice on Simple Series puppet mouth

    I love the shirt combined with the tutu, makes her look like she is wearing her favorite tutu and mom made her wear a color coordinated shirt. Overall I think she is adorable. To me she looks like a sweet little girl who knows what she wants and is determined to have her way. Sue

    Take A Peek Inside My Workshop

    You have inspired me to get rid of the clutter in my workshop. I have been thinking about using a stove vent hood for my gluing space, but hadn't gotten it quite figured out how to do it. You've given me the answer. Plexiglass! Thanks!
