Matryoshkas En Papier
(Not sure about my "French" blog title, but it'll do for now.)
I found this really nifty card tutorial yesterday, and I thought I'd give you directions over to Zakka's from whence it came.
It's the last lap of November, and that always means I find myself in the throes of MAKING THINGS FOR CHRISTMAS. This year, not so much, but I still have little pangs of handmade lust as my mind schemes to express itself through my fingers. Cards would be a lot less time-consuming than quilts, I'm guessing... especially if I only made a few.... hopefully it's not like potato chips; you can never stop at one...
Dang, they're cute! Somebody stop me!
Edit: Looking at these, I'm suddenly reminded of the little fabric creche sets I made one year when the kids were tiny. Too bad I don't have a picture from the olden days... I probably made about 10 sets for friends with children, and they were basically fabric matryoshkas of Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus, who slept in a decorated tea-box manger. They were constructed with stitching and glue, and had cardboard bases so they'd stand up, and I hand-painted the faces.
When did I have the time?
Oh right. The kids were small. I didn't sleep for an entire decade. Selective amnesia.

Thank you for sharing the tutorial with your readers. I appreciate it :)
It's too bad you don't have a picture of the creche sets you made long ago. They sound so cute.
