I LOVED that book when I was little. I had forgotten about the tie-dye paper towels until you mentioned it, and all the fond memories came flooding back! I must've made dozens of those things, it was so much fun. The only other project I remember from the book was a sort of stuffed animal that looked like a penguin, which was made out of a sock. He had cardboard feet and felt arms, eyes and nose, and a ribbon around his neck. I wish I could remember other projects because I know I am forgetting many.

I remember alot of plays- we would design the costumes out of stuff we had in our dress up box. Brynn was definitely the sewer of the family- we made slippers once out of scrap material. And we'd experiment in the kitchen a lot-- I am sure my mom was so annoyed. We did it mostly over summer vacation when she was at work and we were home alone. We made Barbie and doll clothes too. We had so much fun! I remember drawing still lifes and painting from magazines too when I turned about 10ish.Shadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879196008522468550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195955935456792842.post-54359980620997076552011-08-26T20:23:49.195-05:002011-08-26T20:23:49.195-05:00NICE, Rachel!

The unidentified Barbie relaxing on the pillow is "Pretty in Pink" Barbie. I distinctly remember that this was the first toy I obsessed about wanting.<br /><br />Wow again.Rachel Bardwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756093723534528653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195955935456792842.post-38150274730972789832011-08-26T16:31:25.413-05:002011-08-26T16:31:25.413-05:00I LOVE LOVE LOVE FASHION PLATES!!!

Darn her. That's almost incentive for me to try for a 3rd and hope it's a girl. But I doubt "wanting to steal the fashion plates from my nieces" is the appropriate motivation to add to our family. . .<br /><br />I remember making those little craft/jewelry boxes with that plastic grid sheet stuff, that you would cut and then use yarn to stitch together. I also remember a stenciling phase. And I also made braided headbands (that went across your forehead like a sweatband, it was the 80's) that I sold for a quarter to my classmates. I even dangled helicopter beads from some of them.<br /><br />Wow.Rachel Bardwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756093723534528653noreply@blogger.com
