A little
fruitcake is mellowing on my cooling rack. I've never made a fruitcake before, but after gagging down two Costco brand fruitcakes with neon colored fruit I had to make my own. I used dried fruit, not neon fruit. And liquor! Like, oh my goodness! I have never been to the liquor store before! Seriously! I parked out front, told the kids I was going in the liquor store, and S shouted, "The LICKER STORE??? Are you going to LICK the STORE?" Then I had to go in and find what I needed. It was so confusing! Then I got carded. Which wasn't so bad since it has been a long time since I turned 21! I just hope I cooked everything long enough so the alcohol burns off. I don't want a bunch of drunk kids running around my house. Or a drunk Grandad for that matter.
And now I'm staying up late in my elvish workshop, sewing these:
Skirts from pillowcases (and other random fabric scraps)! Obviously these are for the girls. I love the matching pillowcase skirts. I can't wait to see my girls twirling around in them.
