I've added a picture of my latest Muppet quilt, Monster in the Mirror, to my web site. With this one I designed and quilted a full background. Let me know what you think.... (click on the link in my signature to see the quilt)

This has nothing to do with the Muppets, but as there seem to be a lot of Simpson fans here (or at least a lot of Simpson collectors in the Ask Ken thread) I thought someone might be interested. Bradford Exchange is putting out three Simpson ornaments. They light up. They are called "The...

Just updated my web site with pictures of my Gonzo quilt and Red Fraggle and Janice quilt squares. I've also added pictures of my troll head puppet to my puppet page. The troll is only a head thus far-- he's quite large and I haven't figured out the best way to make a body for him yet. I...

Hello and Welcome, Miltb! As Ken requested we welcome you, I figured we should start a thread in your honor-- so you really feel welcome (and so you can bug Ken about causing all this-- after all, you have to earn the title of mother-in-law and asking for free figures alone isn't gunna do it...

Just wondering if it is possible Henson pulled Pepe out of the LJS ads because Denny's wanted an exclusive deal for Muppet restaurant promotion?

Favorite Figure? Now that the figures are hitting the stores, which one is your favorite? Currently, I'm going with Bunsen, but Kermit is a very close second for me.

Since there has been some speculation about whether Dennys will be getting Muppet stuff to sell in the restaurants, I emailed Dennys to compliment them on the new commercial and ask about merchandise. Here's the response I got: I haven't called Denny's Gear yet, but I kind of doubt they'll...

I finally finished my first foam puppet! There's definitely room for improvement, but for a first try, I'm pretty happy with him. Thanks to everyone who gave my pointers and suggestions-- I appreciate all the advice!! :) You can see photos of Fenwick the Turtle here...

Voting is currently underway for the People's Voice Awards portion of the Webby Awards (awards for web sites). We get great information and friendship out of Muppet Central, and Phillip (and others!) go to a great deal of effort to make this site everything it is-- so why don't we try and get...

Hi-- If anyone is going to the Chicago Wizard World show-- I would really appreciate it if they would pick up a Vanishing Cream Beeker for me. My husband is a huge Beeker fan and I'd love to surprise him with one. Of course I would pay for the figure and shipping and I'd split the cost of...

Hi everyone-- This has nothing to do with the Muppets, but the MC gang is a pretty generous, caring group of people so I'm asking for a favor. There was an article in my local paper today about a 12 year old girl with a rare form of bone cancer in her jaw. Her father died of this cancer...

www.ups.com has a Muppet Nascar banner (sometimes you have to refresh the page to get it). If you click on the banner you'll get a window and a series of ten photos (and text) of the Muppets with some of the Nascar Muppet cars and drivers. In one shot, you can celarly see a Muppeteer head in...

Couldn't decide if this belongs in Friends and Family or On the Web. But here goes-- Did everyone get a chance to check out Quinn's drawings in Palisades's Fanatical Friday? They look great! :D The information is a little outdated-- as it refers to Baby Quinn as on the way when we all know...

Has anyone checked out the changes at the Sesame Street web site? (www.pbskids.org -- you can also get their via www.yuckyworld.org). They've got a Journey to Ernie game and games with Cookie and The Count for letters and numbers. They've also updated the coloring pages (new letter and number...

Elmo was on the Rosie O'Donnel show today (5/2). He was the last guest of the episode. First, a small suitcase and some toys popped up on Rosie's desk, next Elmo popped up. He said he heard Rosie was leaving and he was going with her. He was very upset that she was leaving. Rosie...

Hello-- I posted about this on the old forum, but I'm still working on the turtle puppet and could use some input from more experienced builders. (This is my first attempt at a foam puppet.) I am making this guy for my husband and it will be his first puppet. The turtle works kind of...
