It is all about A May Day Tea...




The month of May is a perfect time to celebrate
and I could not think of a better way
than to have a spot of tea.
And while we are at it,

let’s make it a pink party.
Perfect for May Day,
Mother’s Day, Birthdays or just because
I feel like a Tea day….




Make your guest feel special by wrapping
each invitation in a pretty paper doily.
Idea from Martha Stewart .



A Pink Buds Fashionista Bracelet would be
a lovely party favor
Or party craft…
Tutorial by Gabriela Delworth

It is all about Butterflies




I just read Lanie's Real Adventure
(an American Girl) and thought
that it would be fun to have
a day full of butterflies...






FUN IN THE MAKING shares with us
a butterfly observatory box
made from mostly recycled things…

Try doing this in a smaller
size for  Lanie
(the American girl doll of the year)
or for any favorite doll.





















Here is a pretty butterfly mobile made
from a few simple supplies.
This fun idea is from
Better Homes and Gardens....


Plants a lovely butterfly garden
in a container…
go to BHG to see more…


Craft a fun bead caterpillar
from Family Fun









Cute butterfly favor bags



















Pretty paper butterfly also from Family Fun.....

It is all about Doll Play...












With spring in the air and
summer soon to follow
girls across the land will
have a little
more time to play
and make things for their
 beloved childhood friend…
Here are a  few things for
your 18" doll like the American Girl doll...
 
 This pretty patio table would be a fun activity for
 a rainy summer’s day. I can just imagine the

hours of play.
 Charlene of  ewillow.com
 did this tutorial for Ucreate…..
















Tiny garden book direction HERE.....
 
 


Martha Stewart's paper pom poms
 made in napkin ring size would
 make wonderful decorations
 for a dolls  party day...

Cute kitty pin for you to make
 by Salley Mavor
tutorial here …..
This kitty pin could
 also become
 a doll’s purse:
cut two back pieces,
skip step two of tutorial,
do all of the other steps,
sew the second felt back piece to the back
of the felt kitty around the outside edge
leaving an opening on the top.
 Add a cord or ribbon for a handle.

that Grand-me likes to play….
and that you are never too old
for dolls.....
