Of course I can't speak for Bird Call or its creator(s), but I do know they have a new female character in the wings (pun intended), and I hope that's from having fans like you asking for more growth & diversity. <br /><br />Also your comment got me and John talking about the Muppets - remember when Miss Piggy was all we had growing up? - and how encouraging it is to see kids' media growing by leaps and bounds today, largely because that's what we the consumers are telling them we want. So good on you for speaking up, and maybe making Bird Call's future that much better for everyone. <3 <br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-37552890824658256702021-04-18T13:24:35.878-04:002021-04-18T13:24:35.878-04:00I've been debating posing this comment for a m...I've been debating posing this comment for a month, because I'm sure your friends are delightful people and I hate to bring negativity to your wonderfully positive blog. However, it's been bugging me so much I've finally decided to comment.<br />When you posted part 1 of the puppet room make-over story a month ago I excitedly followed the link to the Bird Call YouTube channel and website. And then... I was disappointed that only two characters out of twelve were female. From their brief descriptions on the website we learn that one is the villein, who is obsessed with her looks. The other is the secretary: pink and lavender, motherly, and insecure. I was honestly shocked that a modern show could so stereotype its female characters. <br />I hope that maybe the creator will reconsider the diversity on the show, and maybe give a non-pink female her own program. <br />...<br />Your make-over looks great though! *awkward smile* Lossecormehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246293317080302514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-32582944881942922732021-04-17T23:34:58.455-04:002021-04-17T23:34:58.455-04:00It's rare to block windows, but it really give...It's rare to block windows, but it really gives you some fun options when you have the need to!Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-54372050593065206752021-04-17T19:44:09.534-04:002021-04-17T19:44:09.534-04:00It's so awesome!

If you gave me a blank room and told me to go at it I'd freeze; too many options, and choices are HARD for me. I need pieces already on the board and limitations to help narrow things down!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-72524860879925708692021-04-17T19:11:55.060-04:002021-04-17T19:11:55.060-04:00Hmm, I think my main tip is to be consistently bro...Hmm, I think my main tip is to be consistently browsing Marketplace in your area, so you have an idea what's out there and what prices you can expect for common finds. I browse Marketplace just for fun at least once a week, so I knew we could score a good ceiling for $20 even if we had to wait an extra several days to find it. I also know you can ALWAYS find basic bookcases in great condition for under $30, desks for under $50, and ugly office furniture goes in large lots for free all the time. (That's all here in my area, of course, yours will be different!)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-92136958999976638322021-04-17T14:33:18.347-04:002021-04-17T14:33:18.347-04:00Fantastic job!

And the Wall O' Puppets is brilliant!<br /><br />(I was staring at those acrylic risers and thinking that you could push them to the sides of the shelf and cut some plexi to the same width as the stairs and a little longer than the open span, making them basically continuous across the whole shelf, since they are clear and it wouldn't show that much. That would work, right?)Saralukieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105210194576370991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-52603648686527024332021-04-17T12:28:43.790-04:002021-04-17T12:28:43.790-04:00Do you have set design rules you follow, or do you...Do you have set design rules you follow, or do you redo rooms by instinct or what just looks good to you?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817071845320065854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-20731671574709783652021-04-17T07:30:08.019-04:002021-04-17T07:30:08.019-04:00Would you ever consider doing a post on tips for t...Would you ever consider doing a post on tips for thrifting? I love hearing about your Marketplace finds, but I never have any look when I'm looking for something, and I think it's largely because I don't have any idea how to hunt properly, lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
