I have been making jewelry sets for 20" Madame Alexander Cissy doll

Been making gift sets for 20" Cissy doll and listing them on ebay

I try to keep it looking vintage style

 

 I made this doll dress and listed it on eBay

I had the Marie Osmond 16" doll in mind when I made it.

The pattern is my creation and the beads are individually sewn on.

 I made some pajamas for my 

Trent Osborn doll.

I used a Vogue pattern

I will be doing this on a regular basis from 

other old cook books I have.

I will show the cover then the recipe.

Another dress I made for Marie

I grew up watching the Donny and Marie Show and

I thought if would be cool to recreate this dress that she wore 

back in the 1970's

Here is my 16" vinyl Marie Osmond doll with her turquoise dress.

I found a little flower and had some green beads.

I found this picture online as a reference.

  There is so much going on in the world right now. Just be prepared for anything. Always be prepared to be without internet. Get back into writing letters by snail mail. Back in the 1970's, you could go to any store and find stationary. I had pen-pals from England and it was so cool to get letters from overseas as a child. I enjoy making my own stationary now but it costs more then a stamp to send it. Plus we should support our local post offices a bit more.  It keeps us creative. Write a letter by candlelight one night to see what it was like before electricity or make a postcard and write a recipe on the other side.
 

 

    I like making journaling envelopes and decorating the way I like.  I saw the idea on YouTube

   I bought this empty folder for a friend at a thrift store and filled it with stationary I had on hand. It made a nice gift.

I'm an eBay seller and love variety on selling not so common items.

I started making notebooks from vintage record covers. A project I've been putting off for a few years, but finally have some made. What I offer is if you want a name embossed on the front...

Here are some examples of what I did for friends and family

my eBay items for sale

This is macaroni and cheese with fried green pepper and sausage using this gluten free pasta...

Ronzoni... I love it, and the box is always filled to the top.

When I make macaroni and cheese, I use a little milk, butter, cream cheese and Velveeta. 

I learned how to cook when I was 11 years old, so I can make just about anything I have on hand.

This is fried zucchini with a tomato and rice with cheese on top.

And it's gluten free.

Sometimes eating out can be little bit of a challenge when it comes to being gluten free.

This is what they call a low-carb grilled chicken sandwich, meaning no bun...lol

 This is from Burger King. I asked for ranch dressing and turned into a salad.

This is a good brand of gluten free rice noodles I enjoy so I can still have spaghetti. I will post other brands I have tried in future posts. 

We have a Smith's store near by and it's in the Asian food section.

 

I will be posting some ideas for anyone that is or has to be gluten free. When I went gluten free, my headaches went away, a dizzy spells. Plus I found out from a little research that people with O blood type should not eat gluten. I wish I knew about this years ago. So this is my life now and I want to share some things I prepare. I also have a bad onion allergy so I never put that in what I eat.

This is simple to throw together. Sausage, peppers. taters and an egg.  I love breakfast anytime of the day. 
I was going to start a new blog for this subject but I like variety in my posts. I will be doing this more frequently now that I finally transferred all my photos from my phone to my computer. 
The other night I had a strange dream that I was preparing to make breakfast for all of The Osmond Brothers. They all agreed on eggs and hash browns and Mrs. Osmond was there to help me. I do live in Utah, maybe I'm picking up some vibes. 

 fridge magnet I made awhile ago.
