Yesterday Arwen got a package in the mail from her Memere (my Mom). Inside were some Fancy Nancy first reader books, a DVD of Beatrix Potter stories done in ballet (actually from her Grand-Memere) and then this:





Well you open it up to find:



Now what's in those pockets?:



Cutie fabric "paper" dolls!



And adorable clothes!


When my Mom was visiting back in June we stopped in a couple fabric stores. She had found this cute fabric that had a print of paper dolls on it. I didn't really think much of it at the time past it was cute fabric.

Well she put this together out of the fabric for Arwen. :) The dolls and clothes are stiffened with interfacing and fleece. So they stick to gether simular to a felt board. Arwen had fun dressing them after she opened everything up.

Then I had to take a turn:




So cute I can hardly stand it. Then again I loved playing with paper dolls when I was little too. :)

You are the first person I thought of when I opened them up.

In fact I told my Mom that if they ever go missing I'm looking for them at your house. ;)

Very crafty Mom!

This is where I get it from.

Though she's always been more into the sewing than I am. I learned to sew from her but sewing is not easy in apartments I gotta say.

I knew you'd love it. :)

Really when I saw her buy the fabric I thought she was going to make something for herself or make a quilt. But the "paper"dolls came out sooo cute.
