Barbie houses made by ME!

I am finally done my projects for other people.  Erin and I built a Barbie house for her 3 year old, we built it in my basement, luckily I have just the tools I needed.  She just painted it and is working on getting some flooring for it.  It should be a sturdy sucker.

This one I built out of 3/4" Birch, the wood was already finished but I was changing the color so I had to sand it down to the wood.  I stained it Venetian Oak and lacquered it.  It is a Barbie house for now and when Rylee gets older it can be a book shelf.  It was a fun project.  I also built a Barbie bunk bed, a lovers bed and a table.  I forgot to take pics of those, but I'm building some for Kali too.

I'm glad to get those projects out of my house so I can focus on other things.  Next, I need to finish Kali's Barbie furniture and Barbie tent.

Christmas is coming... am I ready?  Well, no, but yeah.  I keep getting nice things delivered or handed to me in these nice Christmas bags, it makes me think that I have to reciprocate.  I think we plan on making "ginger soft cookies" tomorrow night for Family Home Evening and delivering them, I hope that's good enough.  I hate shopping, the crowds, trying to find the perfect gift or something that my recipients won't hate or have to throw away.


I have been asked to make 2 Barbie houses this year for some friends, when I'm finished I can post some pics. That does add a bit of stress to my life but hey,  I love to do it.  Kali is getting a home made Barbie tent, I will also have to finish it this week.  I'm taking it one day at a time.  We leave on Friday for Edmonton to spend the weekend with my family, but I am most excited to spend time with my little family, I love these two.


Spence and I are going to Chicago in January for an ASHRAE conference, I'm pretty excited to go.  He bought me a ticket for the Chicago Chocolate tour, which I am super excited about, they have a video.  It's a good thing it's a walking tour.  I am quite excited, this will be a great day. 

Merry Christmas, my friends.
