You must check out all of the details that Stacy put into not only the doll but the fun dollhouse for her daughter's Christmas gift. Find it at Hart + Sew.

I've seen these on a few sites this week but had to share because they are the cutest sewing cards I've seen in awhile. Animal Sewing Cards via The Crafty Crow.

I'm still not the best at clothing patterns when it comes to jersey but this project is tempting me. As seen at Piccoli Piselli.

Abbey never fails to inspire me with the projects she makes with her son. Most of them seem to be space-themed which gives me the impression that...she's a great mom! See more at Aesthetic Outburst.

This handmade mat is a great way to encourage creativity in play and can be easily stored when they're ready to switch activities. More photos at One Crafty Mumma.

The ladies at Dos Family always remind me to have fun with my environment and this doily shade is another way they've done that. See how they made it at Dos Family.

And just in time for Valentine's Day, this adorable handmade heart doily how-to. See Artful Parent for details.

There are more projects out there than time to make them but I'm always excited when I see either something absolutely unique or an old idea reinvented. What kinds of projects have been inspiring you lately?

xoxo,
Rachel

I just made a doily printed shirt for my daughter only mine was for christmas - the heart is cute!..this week I made over a baby hoodie and added a pony to it - I know really simple but it turned out so fun and since she is my first girl after two boys I am loving the new possibilities!

Thank you so much for posting the doily lamp- that is awesome!

Over Christmas, mom handed down several of my greatgrandmother's handmade doilies to me and I wanted to incorporate them somehow into the nursery I'm decorating for my little one on the way, I just wasn't sure how to do it- and the lamp would be absolutely perfect!

Thanks again!
