Crafting with Peeps

Monday

I got up just as Chris was leaving. I got ready for the day. I made up a week's worth of supplements. Then I put to work on a peep diorama. I got a small box and put down some green fabric. I cut up three or 4 peeps into small pieces. I shook them in a bag with ground cacao powder and charcoal. I piled them like a gopher mound. I took a peep and replaced his bunny ears with gopher ears. I had to work hard to come up with gopher teeth. I used pipecleaners for arm and molded a piece of peep into a carrot shape and colored it with turmeric. I printed out in large letters “Ehh, what's up Doc?”

I took a pic and sent it to Michelle. Then I checked e-mail. It occurred to me that it should say Peep instead of Doc. So I printed out Peep and glued it over Doc. Then I decided that it needed an Elmer Fudd. So I called up a drawing and printed it out. I cut off the cap and stuck it on a remaining peep. I also cut out the gun and pinned that to the peep. I printed out in small letters “Shh. Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting gofers”

I added it to the box and took another picture. I made and ate breakfast. I read e-mail. I went cleaning for half an hour. I went home to get my phone. Isadora had texted so I texted back. I asked her to deliver my diorama and she said she wanted to make one too. So I dropped mine off at her house and went back to cleaning. I was there more than an hour, but only because people kept interrupting me with texts.

Jamie wanted to finish the house herself so I packed up all my cleaning supplies and went home. Isadora sent me a video of what she made: an octopus made of clay driving peeps. Creative! I had a chance to read e-mail and relax. Chris came home from work.

I took my trombone to band. We played through a bunch of hymns. Isodora came by to ask me if it was alright that she put Cedric's name on my project because I wanted to be anonymous. I said yes. She left and we finished by playing some Broadway pieces.

I went home. I ate some of the beef and potato mix that Chris made. I read some messages, then worked on my blog. We watched another installment of Above Suspicion. Later Chris went to bed. I stayed up to read, then went to bed around 11.
