Good grief, Wal-Mart!
Apr. 23rd, 2014 02:29 pmWell, it didn't take long and I got back into thinking about the Pony things I still want. But I still planned to look at the Raph plush if they still had it. They did, and I looked it over and decided against getting it, at least right then. I have to weigh everything I want against the available money and then choose only what I really want the very most. And I found out that I might have a way to get to Jo-Ann's very soon, so that excitement manifested as the place that currently has what I want most.
I also looked for the stuff I'll need to make my Ginger and Lou plushies. And good grief, Wal-Mart didn't have any of it! No solid gray cloth for making suits and nothing that would qualify as beige either, to my way of thinking. It was all either too light or too bright. I am not going to make Ginger a suit in a color called Banana. **headdesk.** Maybe I'll have to go for one of the lighter colors, if I can't find something at another Wal-Mart or at Jo-Ann's. They did have a material that looked nice for the coat, but only if I want to give him a brown one instead of beige or black or very light gray.
And to get the brown Sharpie I'll need for Lou's eyes, I'll apparently have to pay $6 and get a whole set. I am not doing that. Hopefully someone I know who's been making ragdolls of Frozen characters for personal use will have a brown Sharpie I can borrow.
Also, I've been thinking of making up a shirt with Ginger and Lou that I designed a while back for giggles. It has some pictures of Ginger looking calm and then a couple of him with a shotgun and says "Do not mess with men named Ginger!" It'll cost a little more, since it's color pictures instead of B&W, but I'd like to have a shirt with Chrissy.
