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. teleflora wrote: "Butterfly" wrote in message ... 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. Cindy |

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.

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 : ( Taria Marcella Peek wrote: 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..... marcella |

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.
