Oh my gosh, this is precious. Those oreos look good enough to eat! I bet your nieces are going to love them.
I received a bread maker this year for Christmas, and I love it. I've stopped buying bread 90% of the time because even if the loaf comes out kind of mediocre, it's still so much cheaper than a mediocre store-bought bread.
The only times I'll buy bread nowadays is if I'm craving a PB&J. imo those just need the cheap store-bought bread; it doesn't hit the same with good bread.
Oh, that's going to be lovely when it's done! I've never done any bead work before; that's got to be a lot of effort.
Right now I'm working on some tiny amigurumi of a friend's cats for her birthday. I think she'll like them, but man, I do not love making amigurumi.
