Don’t enter me twice, but here’s another project I found that was super cute: Wooden Kitchen. http://phoneticallyspeaking.blogspot.com/2009/04/holiday-kitchen.html
My fave tutorial comes form UK lass in US. She has the most adorable tute for a travel fabric dollhouse. I plan on making one for my own daughter. They are so adorable. You don’t find charming toys like that anymore. Everything is made out of plastic and requires batteries nowadays 😛

Thanks for the generous giveaway! Looks like a great book! My absolute fave tutorial is the fabric beach ball by purl bee… it’s a great stash buster and everytime I have scraps laying around, I always cut them up for future fabric balls. Really fun to mix and match fabrics for this project. 🙂

This is my favorite link. I have always wanted to learn to make yo-yo’s and now I can. I am hoping to do a quilt this summer. Thanks for the great giveaway.
One of my favorite projects is making DIY Babylegs. I got the tutorial here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/babyhopes/sets/72157594274454468/
They are so handy and only take about 10 minutes to make.
http://aosleather.blogspot.com/2009/04/mystery-braid.html
This is a tutorial on how to do a ‘mystery braid”.
This isn’t for younger kids to do but it’s a good craft for older kids. Or, one can use in another material besides leather.
I wanted to share a bit different, hope that is okay.
My family’s fav. tutorial has to be the cinnamon rolls from Heather Hales designs. I am excited to start trying out a few of the skirt patterns you recently posed too though!
