My Childhood

[heidi]

Is here. And what a good childhood it was! Weebles, Pac Man, Goonies, General Hospital circa 1981, vinyl Charlie's Angels lunchboxes, those barettes with ribbons in them - it's all there.

And out of all the above things, the one whose inclusion amazes me most is the listing for ribbon barettes.
As the blurb says, they were a craft thing that we all did after, or around the time that, we saw Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu. I spent a tonne of time in my parents' breakfast room making them - they're long gone now, but if someone had the instructions, I might just make them again.

Wouldn't wear them, but I would make them.

I actually can still "crochet" on on my fingers. I find it relaxing and tension reducing and did it during the bar exam.

Is that odd? Tabi - want me to show you how this summer?
