Did the characters take longer due to having to guess the moulds or just because more attention needed to be paid? Set building looks like fun XD And all that turned out awesome!

Yeah building the sets was a blast! The characters took longer due to a lot of factors, but the molds were a big part of that. There is a lot of precision needed to make a puppet work, and a lot of time consuming processes that I'm just not that great at doing quickly -- mold making is one of those things. haha
If I retained more of that knowledge between projects, I probably wouldn't make so many mistakes trying to relearn things I've done in the past, and the process would be quicker.
Do you keep notes? One of the useful things I found when I started blogging is that I could throw some notes on my blog with screenies semi-tutorial style so if I forgot how to do something and I remembered writing about it I could just search for it. And sometimes if I didn't remember writing about it DDG/Google would helpfully find the notes I wrote when I was searching XD
I try to! Sometimes I keep a production blog, which, pre-steemit, involved me just pointing a camera at my face and talking about the process. haha
Evernote is something I utilize often too! I'm just not particularly great at staying organized. :/
