Where does the time go?

OMG, I could have sworn I posted in September, but nope. Wow, I'm horrible. Things have been so busy. My grand-daughters asked for lots of Barbie clothes and furniture for Christmas so I decided that the price of Barbie items is disgusting and why don't I make them? So guess what I've been doing?

I did find a few little things on ebay. Honestly, I swear you can find anything from China for a cheap price and often free shipping. Takes a little while, but it does come in more often than not. So I have some things that are here already. Then I figured I'd supplement with things I make. Still making stuff. But lots and lots done already.

"Gramma, can you make us some pretend Barbie food?" Why sure I can! That took days. Still have more to make. I didn't want them to get it all right away. This much they got now so they can "feed" their Barbies.  Working on beds now. I crocheted blankets, and will be making mattresses. I've spent a good $50 in craft wood sticks, and they are definitely coming in handy. None are long enough for the beds so I'm looking for some thin soft wood to easily cut and carve.

A friend of mine is getting married this weekend. It was a quick decision after years with the guy she's marrying. So, as a wedding gift, I made her a beautiful Fall headdress. She's coming to pick it up later today. It will look amazing with her beautiful gown.

So I also made this lemon-gingerbread cheesecake. It turned out amazing! So good that my eldest grand-daughter asked to have one made as her birthday cake in November. I'll post the recipe tomorrow. I'll get it together with a photo. I'm sure you'll love it.

So for now I'll end here. I have two very energetic grandchildren here who are ruining my bedroom. Sigh.
