Tutorial Tuesday: Fabric Paper Dolls

What little girl doesn't like playing with paper dolls?!
But they get tattered and torn SO quickly.
So I fell in love with this tutorial from Moda Bake Shop!

Aren't these fabric "paper dolls" the cutest?!
You can find the tutorial right here.

There are lots of different photos posted already!

PS Thanks for your patience in delays in my replies to questions. I just found out this week that I have gestational diabetes and I've spent much of the week meeting with doctors and dieticians to figure out how to manage it and what I need to do to modify my diet. So far it looks like I should be able to manage it with diet alone, which is great news! Any tips on meals or snacks that are diabetic friendly?

Tutorial Tuesday: Super cute belt tutorial

Belts aren't something I'm using right now,

but someday I'd love to wear one of these!

Tutorial Tuesday: Paper Bag album

I saw this idea and LOVED it,
so of course I had to share!

This tutorial is easy, cute, and doesn't need a ton of expensive supplies-- bonus!

Isn't it cute that you can tuck little notes in each pocket?!
Love it!!!

This weekend while the East coast braces for snow
we are enjoying a little reprieve in the form of rain.
I know there will be more snow coming soon,
so I'm really enjoying the change in weather.

Tutorial Tuesday: Cloth Doll Diapers

My daughter is SO excited for her baby brother to come.
Tonight she told me that she's going to practice feeding and changing her dolls
so she'll be ready to help take care of him when he comes.
{so sweet!}
But I realized that she doesn't have too many diapers for her dolls...
I may just need to whip up some of these adorable doll diapers!

You can find the tutorial on how to make your own right here on The Cottage Home.

PS Please be sure to place Valentine's Day orders by this Friday, February 5th, to make sure you get them in time. (And sooner is better since the post office sometimes takes longer than expected.) Thanks!
