My intentions were to make her a set of paper dolls (was thinking probably magnetic) but I didn&#8217;t have all the supplies (because &#8211; after I ordered the Cricut cartridges &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t find all the other things I still needed here in town, and didn&#8217;t know that in time to order them.) That led me to the night before her party and still not knowing what to do.<\/p>\n<p>At 10:30 p.m. I went to Walmart for supplies, then came home to start on a fabric doll house with purse-type handles for carrying along. If I&#8217;d had more time I had more ideas for decorating, but was happy enough with it to call it good and give it to her. It&#8217;s the perfect size for small dolls, like Polly Pocket or such.\u00a0I think it turned out really cute.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1919\" src=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"dollhousepurseoutside\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/blog-fromme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/dollhousepurseoutside.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The frame is plastic canvas, covered with batting.
