I just noticed that Puppet-Planet is down... let's hope Michele is able to get things going again!
Re: Puppet Planet Posted by Puppet-Planet on Mar 06, 2010
Hi Guys!

So sorry for the long break since last communication. I had someone promise me a ride a few weeks back, thought I'd get to the library and post office.... turned out it was a holiday (Presidents day) and both those places were closed. I haven't been able to get out since then other than church & gorcery shopping on Sundays due to the weather. If anyone is praying for snow.... you can stop now.  

Yes, my website was down for a bit. I had been getting emails about the renewal for a little while now but with so little money to spread thin I just couldn't afford to pay it before the cut off date. Some kind anonymous person somehow obtained the name of my hosting company and paid it on my behalf. Thank you, whoever you are!  

The job hunt has been exhausting and I've come up empty handed so far. A lot of businesses are seasonal and close for the winter in this area and I don't yet have reliable means to travel into one of the bigger towns. BUT (drum roll please) I will finally have my car on the road in less than 48 hours. I get to pick it up Monday. I am SOOoooo doing the happy dance right now.  Ahh, the taste of independence... it is so close.  

Miguel I responded to your private message about the puppet you wanted. It's in stock right now so if you would like to send paypal payment that would really help towards getting that balance I owe taken care of.

Anyone else looking for puppets..... Thanks to all of the kind people that have sent me supplies, I have the following characters completed and in stock at this time:
You can see photos on my website as these are catalog characters: http://www.puppet-planet.com/howtobuy01.html


Aunt Fran (two of them), Paul Biz (miguel wants?), PaPa (two of them), Tweak (three of them), Fidget, Mona (two of them), and Ruby Red Hat Lady  

Some of the shirts may be different than shown in pictures due to what ever may have been available for purchase or donated to make puppets.


I also have some figures that are not normal stock but I have no means to post photos since I don't have a digital camera or a place that will allow me to upload images. (library doesn't).

I have 5 characters that I had planned to list on the catalog page for a stock figure character. Made with the same curly furry fleece fabric as the orange monkey on this gallery page (http://www.puppet-planet.com/gallery01.html)They are all the duplicate designs of each other except for some minor details and color. One is moss green, One is  purple/blue (perwinkle), and three white. Price is $240 for each figure regardless of color and includes priority shipping anywhere in the USA. These rabbits are the about the same size as the Monster described below.

I also have a girlie monster figure with pony tails. She is about 90% complete and would take a couple hours to finish her. She is made with two tone long shaggy fur (black and pink) that is treated to look sort of messy like Oscar grouch. She has pink ostrich feather ponytails, dark gray antron fleece face, hands, & feet. Pink antron fleece eye lids & button nose as well as long lashes. Price is $290 including priority shipping anywhere in the USA. Since her face features haven't been completed yet, she could have blinking eye lids, added lips, teeth, etc. for an additional cost if you wish. Similar to the blue monster with yellow pigtails in my gallery here: http://www.puppet-planet.com/gallery01.html  Except the entire hands of this character are antron fleece as well as the feet.  The size of the monster in the image is also about 36" tall and could wear a size 4T clothing. The size of this pink and black monster that is for sale is a smaller more portable size of about 28" tall and could probably wear a size 2T clothing. LJ, you have a monster from me that is about this size. I can't seem to find a photo of this size figure so maybe you could help??

I don't like shipping or selling puppets without provding an image, but it may still be a little bit before I can find means to get images uploaded to use for selling. I hope the example images I have provided will help with the imagry of the characters in your mind.

If anyone has an old laptop with wireless ability that they are willing to allow me to make payments on, please contact me. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something cheap in working condition that will get me online. I have found that a neighbor has wireless internet. They are just close enough that I can access if I sit at the picnic table at end of my long driveway. They have agreed to allow me to use their internet connection via wireless means if I had my own laptop.

Thanks again guys, I'll be online for about another hour if anyone wants to send me a message.

I am wishing I had enough money to buy one of your puppets

But I'm glad to hear things are slowly getting better! (Yay for the car!)

Yay Car!  But, now it needs a starter. Boo!  I can get around for now until it decides to quit for good.... I have to bring a wrench with me and bang the darn starter thing to get it to start when it acts up. I've always wanted to bash my car for all the trouble it's given me, and now I have the perfect reasonable opportunity. Oh, life is just too funny sometimes. 

Thanks guys for all of your support. Now that I'm on the road I'm hoping to have better luck finding a some kind of job in one of the nearby towns now that I have transportation.... sort of. 

Hugs!

Michelle, a while back I bought some patterns from you on Ebay. As I recall a lot of other people wanted the patterns. Have you considered marketing more copies for extra money? (by the way, they have been very helpful) Steve
Re: Puppet Planet Posted by Gabriel G on Mar 14, 2010
Michele,
It's terrific to hear from you again! We've all been struggling with the economy and know you've had your troubles but we're glad to hear you're slowly making your way again.
I'll keep you in my prayers, God bless!
