Carpet Fever

Well a new week and its all go and there are plenty of changes about! We walked in on Friday to find that Act 2 had changed and then we come in today and the model box has changed and there's new exciting little pieces that have been added and other bits that have sadly been removed (I apologise if this sounds as if I am talking in riddles but for those of you who will read this and then come and see the performance I don't want to give to much away and spoil the suprise for you!)

The title of this blog relates to the fact that we have for the most part of the last few days been sewing together rugs, carpets, throw, blankets and other large pieces of fabric that were purchased from various charity shops around Birmingham (we are proud to do our bit for the dieased/orphaned/unfortunates/cats!). Again I won't spoil the surprise as to how these will come into play with the design but I have to say that we are suffering from carpet fever which is an unfortunate side effect of being sat for long periods of time sewing all the pieces we've bought together. It is a madness and I think it may be incurable. If you think you may be suffering these are some of the symptoms ;

• talking absolute rubbish
• inability to drop a knife
• rolling rather than walking

Admittedly (and obviously modestly) these giant blankets we are making look brilliant!

We spent the rest of our time burning things - amazing fun for the pyromaniacs amoungst us!!

Other fantastic things are beginning to form in the space thanks to the team of big strong boys and all their machinery all apart from the slight mishap with the wall....but nevermind....things are being formed, the groundwork is going down and its growing and all starting to come together and it beginning to look like the model box. Its amazingly exciting as prior to this I don't think any of us have really seen anything we've worked on come together like this and to such a big scale.

But the best bit is that the most exciting stuff is yet to come!!!
