I love telling the story of my first puppet because its so different.  When I was about twelve my mother grounded me from the television, the computer, and for the first time, my store bought puppets.  I could live without the first two but I had to have a puppet!  So I reached into my sock drawer and started creating.  I had almost no sewing skills at the time and I used every odd bit and piece i could find.  Originally his eyes were some “googly” eyes I had lying around but I replaced them with ping pong balls shortly after.
