I didn't mean that so much as there is a lot of information out there if they want to know more about Gilda's life and death. In addition to books and lots of commetary on tv 'news' shows, there was that biopic a year or two ago.

Gilda Radner died in 1989 after a long and fairly public struggle with cancer.

I've found I have to replace the belt on my old SInger because the leather (on the older belts) or plastic (on the newer ones) gets old and begins to deteriorate, not because of any problem related to the machine. I used to have a White treddle machine but my mother stole it. I'll get it...

I know people who swear by the Singer Featherweight-- one of the first 'portable' electric model. I still use my grandmother's from time to time. Brothers are good machines. In general I'd stick to known brands-- Brother, Viking, Pfaff, Jenome, Bernina. Vikings can be less than user...

Oh. I thought Muppet Vision came in before MGM. Last time I went to Disney World Epcott didn't exist.

Buck's right about the sewing machines. I forget how many bad machines are out there. I'm spoiled by Bernina. ;) But I also hate hand sewing and go to great lengths to avoid it-- I don't even sew buttons on by hand.

Unfortunately I remember it all too well. I saw it at Disneyland way too many times. I think it was replaced because it was so outdated. The Honey I Shrunk movies were big at the time Honey I Shrunk the Audience came in, kids visiting the park were probably more familiar with those characters...

I've found it quite easy to sew fake furs on a machine. You do need to use the right needle and you need a good machine, but a decent sewing machine can manage fur with no problem. I've done dozens of stuffed animals and puppets out of fur on machines-- been doing it for about twenty years...

It comes up from time to time. If you want to see what's new at the park check out their website: sesameplace.com I've never been there but am planning a trip, probably next year.

Muppet Sidewalk Chalk? Are the pieces of chalk shaped like Muppets or do they just come in a Muppety package? Which Muppets are included in the chalk? My older daughter loves sidewalk chalk and she loves Muppets.... Thanks!

Not to jump all over Luke's territory (ragging on Jim Hill) but what gets me about this piece are all the typos and errors. Not very porfessional coming from a professional writer. It does offer some legitimate hope for Fraggle Rock-- as part of a fantasy distribution deal we could see the...

I haven't looked into this, but I don't think Disney could shut down MC. They could make us take down the graphics and Muppet smilies-- all images of Muppets, but they can't close down the site. I don't think they could make us change the name since Muppet is now in the dictionary, but I could...

A Muppet nursery is more challenging than going with one of the lines at Babies R Us, but it is definitely do-able and so much more fun! Bedding. Are they going for classic Muppets or will Sesame Street do? There are a number of Sesame Street fabrics available at fabric stores right now...

I haven't found any details about the performance, but students and teachers of the institut will be performing as part of the Kennedy Center's Festival of France. The performance is Feb. 25th on the Millenium Stage (one of the smaller Kennedy Center stages). Here's what I found at the Kennedy...

Thanks everyone! :) The best birthday present thus far has been both my girls napping at the same time. ;)

Fuzzy and Blue 27,980 but then the baby woke up and I had to stop playing.

So fill it with something else-- candy, nuts, whatever. You just need something similar in size to gumballs.

I think it's a cheap NBC TV movie. If it were ABC it would be Disney and we'd get something like twin Dorothys starring the Olson twins or that annoying little girl with the brown curly hair. I think the point here is that it will get the Muppets out there and NBC will be footing the bill...

Thanks for posting that link! Hopefully Sesame Workshop and UNICEF will help a lot of kids working together.

For puppet patterns that are pretty simple to make and go together quickly you might want to try a fabric store. There are some books out there on making puppets for kids. You might need to enlarge the patterns a bit for an adult-sized hand but they tend to be pretty simple patterns. They...
