True I saw all the originals in theatres because movies were .50 - $1.00 when I was a kid, so going to a movie you didn't enjoy/weren't interested in wasn't a big deal.<br /><br />Now, having said that, I would totally want those crochet figures. Sometimes cuteness outweighs dislike. They really remind me of the very old livejournal IHarthDarth, who used to make the most adorable Star Wars comics.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-35641285558673815522016-04-15T08:09:36.122-07:002016-04-15T08:09:36.122-07:00Hello from Spain: great proyects.

If you love the project, that is a big help.<br /><br />My biggest knitting project is one of those blankets that looks like a mermaid tail. I also have a legwarmer started for my daughter-who-dances. I completely stalled on that. Plus, I'm trying to find a good gauge for a doll blanket that I'm working on.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-36541803117266991942016-04-15T07:26:57.112-07:002016-04-15T07:26:57.112-07:00Thanks! :)

We started an AG sewing stuffed animal project recently, but abandoned it for now as it was a little too intense for my 6 year old. I always feel more crafty in winter/spring as more time is spent indoors.

I'm trying to come up with some creative ways to store dolls and stuff. My dolls' wardrobes have long outgrown the little clothes rack I made two years ago. I've got doll clothes wrapped in tissue paper, packed in boxes in the cellar. The problem is, I can no longer find a thing! So that's at the top of my to-do list.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.com
