I feel like my blog has been bogged down under the weight of the much-anticipated Flintstone car. And I'm the one with most of the anticipation. I had to change the size because I couldn't make it work with the cardboard tube of choice. Once I accepted the need for a size change, I was back on track. I've been up at 5 every morning this week cutting and gluing. So far, the supply list includes: a different (and somehow more fabulous) cardboard tube, corrugated cardboard, dowel, fabric, white paint, PVC pipe, mod podge, washers cut from a plastic milk carton, and half a container of partially hardened spackle (argh!). The wheels are complete so I feel like I'm over the most fiddly phase of the project. Now I need to decide if I want right or left-hand drive since the car is depicted both ways. So that's what has been happening with the car.
If this project hadn't been on my 'things to do before I die' list since the late 60's, I would have abandoned it. But it would eventually creep back onto the list; and let's be realistic, I'm more than halfway to the end so I need to get cracking on some of the items a bit further up on the list.

Ok, I was all like "take your time, there's no rush and all", but now that I've seen the ingredients list, I'm all like eager and stuff. So, like, hurry up queenie.
I think it's wonderful that you are getting around to doing something from your late 60's to-do list. Frankly, I never made a to-do list, because that would actually obligate me to-do something. In any case, we all still love you, no matter how long it takes (okay, I'm not sure about the Captain.. he seems a little impatient; but I guess when you're a superhero you expect instant gratification?)
who get's to take the first spin? i call shotgun!!
Anyone who has a to-do list that actually gets done has my admiration. I make lists for the sake of making lists. It's not as satisfying as making a CAR.
