Ugh, that's tricky. I don't understand people with no sense of boundaries and I can't imagine just walking into someone's house like that. Sounds like she has some weird presumptions about how "close" you are. And when someone's that oblivious, I know how hard it can be to set boundaries without having to be rude.

If it's becoming this frustrating, maybe start locking your door at all times? And tell her you've taken on some personal projects and don't have time to chat as often or have unannounced visitors. That's worked for me before (and it helps if you actually do have personal projects).
