Middle of the week here I come.

Thought of an easier PEEP diorama to do, but gave the idea away. To the boss, so maybe not a bad deal. Mo Willems' book Knuffle Bunny can be represented simply by making a cardboard box into a front loading washing machine and putting a PEEPs bunny inside, peering out through the glass porthole upside down.

I had planned to work on my own project tonight but still no energy, so maybe in the morning since it's Wednesday. I have the necessary PEEPs on hand now, and a plastic shoe box ready to use. Needs some sort of simple backdrop, a stone wall, and a road. Then it's just building the characters. I've decided to make the green peep actually fly on her broomstick by suspending her on fishing line from the top of the box. The rest is costuming to turn four pink bunnies into Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. Two or three ordinary yellow chicks will become castle guards with helmets and billhooks.

This can represent two books at once, actually: Wicked: the Life and Times of the Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, as well as the original The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

Whooshed through a bunch of cataloging, shivering much of the afternoon. The virus has not let go of me yet.

Weather is growing more springlike, but they still say it may snow tomorrow night. Boo. We've already had the coldest January on record, and the snowiest February ever. Enough, I say. And let's not break the rain records for April either, 'cuz we just did that one last year or the year before, I forget which.
