I use to have an eBay business & a webstore. I have since stopped the eBay
business but maintain the webstore. I also worked out a lot. I still do all
the other stuff I use to do.

I meant smocking though.

Wow, glad to read that I'm not the only one that has 3 or more books going
at the same. It's sort of like my quilting ;oD

I love reading. It is not unusual for me to have 3 books on the go at one
time.

I used to get Annie's Attic too and love them. Gave most of them to my
newest daughter-in-law for her 7-year-old last fall, but couldn't find
the ones I "thought" I had with the Barbie patterns. Maybe I was
dreaming I had those, but I sure did tear the place apart looking for them.

Butterfly (I still have the beaded crocheted Barbie Doll dress with train
that I did for DD)



Oooooo! I ran across those Annie's Attic crocheted Barbie dress patterns in
my craft closet the other day. I must have 30 of them. I got them in the
early 90's. If I recall, I got them through the mail, every month. They
are so elaborate and so beautiful. I doubt I ever make a one of them. But
they were fun to look at again.

I'm currently a medical transcriptionist. I likes it. Have been in
desktop publishing and layout for a newspaper (including the Living
section), technical writing, bartending, security, lifeguard, chauffeur,
and bunch of other odd things.

And I'm THL George Anne of Æthelmearc in the SCA.

I'd love a top with some smoking Marcella if you need a project.

Before quilting I did a lot of clothing construction. Now all
I seem to wear are jeans and t-shirts. I still do too much
gardening. I enjoy it but I need to find some help for the bigger
stuff.
I don't bake much since we cut fat : (

The crafts I gave up when quilting too over a knitting, counted cross
stitch, rubber stamping/card making and smocking.

The only one I miss is smocking, but I don't have any little girls around
anymore to make pretty dresses for. Maybe great-nieces or granddaughters
someday.....

I was a serious cross stitcher (linen samplers) and had very young
children. Although I had dabbled in quilting since the early 70's once
I found the rotary cutter in the early 80's and my babies were out of
my arms I started quilting more and more. In the 90's I gave away my
collection of embroidery floss and haven't cross stitched again. I
never did cook or clean very much even before quilting took over my
life.
