[...] Suffice to say it was fun to dust off my sewing machine. It was a little tricky, because I didn’t have the recommended needle size for the material. And I did this during the snowstorm, so I couldn’t go out for a replacement. But, you know, my niece won’t care. Thus, I’m perfectly pleased with how it turned out. Sewing this weekend kind of makes me want to find more sewing projects. This one took me back to my younger childhood years where I would design and make clothes for my dolls and tropical barbie. This would be the one I’ve shown here before. [...]

Golden Years is on one of his albums..I mean, on David Bowies albums. It is the song he sang that sticks most in my head and I imagine him singing that while dressed up as the Goblin King.

Wow! I’m impressed that you made that. My grandmother always made us Barbie clothes from older things she was taking apart – this meant that our Barbies had a dress from the same material as one of my mother’s old dresses that was in our dressup clothes. Labrynth kinda freaked me out but the dress is still gorgeous!

Amber, I don’t get the song reference. What is that from?

Texas Seestor, I’d forgotten to mention the swing. I’m glad you remembered.

I always loved this dress that you made for your Barbie and was impressed by the detail. I always thought of it as a ‘Princess Bride’ dress as I had forgotten about Labrynth.

For a long time, she sat on a swing which hung from the ceiling in Danielle’s room. Definitely a place of honor! : )

Now singing:
Golden years…Golden years…Golden years *clap clap*

And wow! That dress is beautiful. It looks like something you would buy for your doll at a fancy store. I like the blue and silver and white, it is so pretty. Almost like a snow or ice princess.

That Barbie obviously goes to tanning beds, because with being an ice princess and all, you just don’t have time to go to the south and bake in the sun for hours.
