Before I forget - Lindsay, there's a reply to your message below. Darn, but I didn't know she'd removed the pattern. I never got a chance to try it out ! Oh, well. I wish her luck with eBay !
Things are going better at Chez Insanity. I'm on my third (of five) loads of neglected laundry washing, and Beloved Hubby slept about six hours last night. It's the most rest he's had in over a week, closer to two. I got a decent night's rest, too, and was so energetic, I decided to try LivingSoft's advice about getting Doll Shop Deluxe to work. They wrote me over two weeks ago, but I've barely checked my mail since Hubby got sick - I knew the message was there, just didn't have time to do anything with it. And you know how your mind fuzzes and won't make sense of words sometimes, when you're tired ? That, too.
Turns out that my Install Shield had a quirk, and that's what was halting the DSD install. A quick fix was enclosed, and now DSD works better than ever. I was really impressed and happy they'd researched the problem for me - let's face it, I didn't, and it really wasn't their problem ! - and solved it. I kinda feel bad about being such a brat about it. I should have researched it myself, but I just *knew* it was their issue. This is me, feeling very, very small...
Now I just have to reload about 12 dolls' measurements. Luckily I print 'em off when I get a good fit, so it's not like I have to do all those measurements again. It takes over an hour to measure a doll, and that doesn't include fittings, remeasurings, and adjustments. But I really need to get sewing again, before I get all nervous about it. Gosh knows I got plenty of everything sitting around waiting for me !
But right now, it's the laundry that has priority. It's embarassing how long some of it's been waiting to be washed. At least it isn't as bad as the dishes were !
