Shouldn't talk about the weather...

There is one kind of weather I hate and that's wind - hot, cold, I don't care, just spare me the wind. So today, feeling kind of sorry for myself and a howling gale blowing outside, I elected to have a home day. I can tell its a home day if I haven't taken off my pirate slippers since getting out of bed...


Nah, seriously, I own Pirate slippers. So I've spent the day finishing my book, reading the paper and listening to music. But in a fit of weirdness I decided to engage in some craft.


About six months ago I downloaded the plans to make your own bobble head Josh Homme and Dave Grohl. I can't find the link now but I thought I'd make them today. I started with Josh first...




It was about half way through that I'd really wished I downloaded the instructions but I think I made a fair fist of it in the end...


I then moved onto Dave who was a bit trickier because smeared glue showed up more on his black clothes...



He came out alright too...


Now I have the complete set of paper rockers. Hopefully they'll start collaborating again and make an album as good as Songs for the Deaf... dreams... I'll just go back to wasting time on yooouuutuuube...

  1. That's HILARIOUS!!! We've been giggling at your paper rockers for 5 minutes. WHO thinks to upload a design for paper rockers?? And how productive are you for spending a "home day" doing crafts? I'm adding paper rockers to my 'happy-making" list. Blog post coming soon.
    Rock on J & D.

  2. Hey Katie, I got the designs from a German website although sadly the link doesn't work anymore. The more I look at them, the more I love them although they're finding gravity a little challenging by having such big heads. I'm thinking I might make them little paper amps and a stage next...
