i overcame my perfectionism 5 months ago

in a perfect world i would have designed my own puppet and in a less perfect but still good world i would have bought a whatnot in new york. in the real world i found a cute toy puppet in berlin and decided that this is good enough for me to find out how far i want to carry the whole puppeteer thing. i will test it on my nephew and my friends children when i am back from berlin :)
