If you're interested in bringing the kids in on the action, here are 10 great DIY bird feeders that kids can help make.

Little Reading Nook in the Corner. The TeePee! Last year I promised Elsie a teepee for Christmas but with more on my plate than I anticipated (duh!
This happens EVERY year) she and Jeremy had to settle for an embroidered teepee! This year I was scheming to get it done before Christmas so she could enjoy the twinkly lights and coziness a little early. There were many occasions when I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't let my excitement slip and I didn't want to let her know I was hoping to make one in case something else came up and I couldn't finish in time. The evening before I knew I'd have it finished for sure, I had Brett call Jeremy to make sure it didn't look suspicious in case Elsie were around. Once the coast was clear I took the phone and we arranged for him to take her out to dinner and for me to get the key to the loft from Erin who would be at work in the store below.

Welcome to part two of the doll bassinet tutorial!
I need to make my usual disclaimer to remind you that I am NOT a professional. I truly make this stuff up, so if you are an amazing sewer, you will probably read this tutorial and cringe like crazy over all the things I do technically wrong. I learned a lot from this first bassinet, and I actually made the second one very differently. However, if I made another bassinet, I would probably go back to this method. Please let me know if you have any questions. Hop over to part one for a complete materials' list and instructions for the lining. Here's what you do for the outside body of the bassinet:1) Pin quilt batting to the wrong side of the outside body fabric. 2) Quilt these batting and fabric pieces together however you want. 4) Pin bottom of body piece (piece with ribbon attached at top) right sides together all around the bottom body piece. 5) Sew around the edge where the body and the bottom meet. 13) Flip right sides out.
