celebratoryNow Playing: "Scent of a Woman" - DVD I bought for Beloved Hubby about four years ago.
Scanning is done ! Over the course of 30 hours - that included sleep, cooking, grocery shopping, housework, watching our new DVD, Meatballs - I got all three patterns scanned, cleaned, and backed up. Whew ! Glad I won't have to do that again !
But I don't learn easy - spent a bit of time afterwards looking up Jem and Darci patterns. Turns out that Simplicity 8333 and 6363 are identical, same clothes for the same dolls. Just the envelope layout is different. So if you're looking for patterns for those dolls, too, you can always buy which one is best for the cash. And it proves to me that the big pattern companies don't always use the same number for the same set. From my two minutes of Google research, #6363 came out in 1983, #8333 in '87.
I must be out of my mind for even looking, though. Last thing I need is more patterns - I still have scads I haven't touched. And if I buy it, I gotta scan it. That's not too difficult with Barbie-size. It's those todder dolls' patterns that'll kill ya ! : ) Still, I got a lot I haven't enjoyed yet. I think I'll wait a bit before chasing more.
Looked in the Pink Aisle during a grocery run. Nothing new at our Mal-Wart. I still wanna see those Birthstone dolls, but it looks like I'll have to visit TRU for 'em. Since Dearest Son's off from school this week, it looks like it'll be maybe next weekend. Not sure about them. They use my favorite head mold, but they look more 'My Scene' than 'Steffie'. Plus I have no use for that dog prop.
Was thinking of sewing this evening, but I'm kind of 'dolled out' for now. I did get Rio's new clothes pattern all printed out. It's from a German magazine, and in Europe, they tend to cram all the pieces on one page. Like you see in Burda magazines. So I get to use the lightbox Beloved Hubby made me ! Or print it out seven times. It's in German, of course, but it looks fairly easy. I have one Barbie pattern from the exchange group that's in four languages - French, Spanish, German, and what's possibly Flemish. It's not a multi-language one, though. It was printed in four magazines, identical layout. Probably the same magazine, but I have no way of knowing. It's just neat to see it written up differently each time.
Hope you had a good weekend ! My birth-month is July, so I'm happy ! There's always a reason to be happy if ya look around. Sometimes, though, ya just don't wanna look around. I'm glad today, I do !
