Dear Diary, Another of my passions.

Thirty plus years .Sometimes 3 wedding cakes on a weekend. It was run, run, run. Then work on Monday.

The top cake I made for daughter Michelle and this bottom heart was part of daughter Jill's wedding cake. It looked like the cake above it. Just different colors and topper.

 

Some day I should take a picture of every picture I took of cakes I made.

Some day.

Still have all my stuff. Three fountains. Even the stuff to make the bride and groom ornaments.

Last one I made was for grandson Ryan and his wife 4 years ago September.

Seems I've run out of steam.  ISYN!

Speaking of running out of steam, I must get to working on the latest Teddy Bear afghan or I won't have a baby shower present for Ed's grand daughter.

(((hugs)))

 

That's all folks!

 

 

 

Dear Diary, Daughter Jill found these in my attic. Look what I was doing some twenty odd years ago. Making, not playing with. ;0)

When 3 of my grand daughters were small, I bought Barbie wardrobes and filled them with ball gowns, wedding gowns,  prom gowns, caplets, capes, coats, dresses, sun dresses, sun suits, pj's, robes, bikini's, underwear, purses, etc. The creative juices kept flowing and flowing.

 One didn't play with Barbie's and gave hers back. These and other things I made have been in the attic all these years.

Wish I had taken pictures of all, the American Doll clothes, baby doll clothes, Cabbage patch doll clothes that I made for grand daughters back then.

 

 

 

Really loved making these. In my own little way, I was reliving my youth. Would have loved these and a Barbie, but Barbie came after my time. :0(

Must put out the word to my kids. If I am ever living in my second childhood, give me these to play with. :0)

Found her in Arcadia, FL for $20 (Never opened)  at a Flea Market and her red outfit caught my eye. Love red. She has her place on my bureau. :0) 

One is never too old for dolls!  I shit you not!
