a quilt only a five-year-old could love
here's the barbie quilt i made for emily.
i'd had it finished six months ago, but wanted to give it to her in person. because i'm a spacker, i didn't take a picture of it before it was wrapped. because terry is a spacker, she nearly killed herself taking this photo.
truly a labor of love, because i hate the colors and the barbie patches were a bitch to work with — they're made out of really cheesy polyester that shrinks when you iron it and they're not regular in size. the back is this nasty coarse polyester fabric bearing retchworthy images of the disney princesses. but for emily i held my nose and finished it off.

"spacker"?

My God! I am impressed! And deeply grateful that Rachel has passed the Deep Barbie stage and moved on to "Bratz" dolls. Which, while still retch-worthy, are at least not pink.

We love the Bratz as much as Barbie around here...with the "added bonus" that Bratz have their own line of makeup. Gah.

maybe you should buy a dubya action figure so that the bratz will have someone manly to mate with.
