Look What I Made!

So we're gearing up for Emily's very first friends invited over PARTY!  Yes, I'm a cruel mother, but lets not dwell on that now.  We decided on  a paper doll theme, with a doll house birthday cake.

  You can see the invitation to the left.  We cut out the doll and stuck them to the invite with velcro. 

Sophie has been busy cutting out paper doll chains for decorations, while I'm assigned to small dresses to make a garland. 
  For many moons, I've had my eye on a video tutorial that shows you how to fold an origami dress.  Today, after throwing aside a lifetime of previous origami failures, I sat down and watched the video.  

   It wasn't nearly as hard as some of the ridiculous animals that I've tried to make in the past.  I was, and am soo happy with how this turned out! (excuse the less that adequate photo)  It actually looks like a dress!

Can you see that it looks like a dress?!  Please say you can, but don't lie.  My ego can handle it.

Also, I have lofty dreams of making this dollhouse cake that I found on the internet.  

Hopefully, my finished product will not be the subject of one of those "Cake Fail" pictures.  We shall see how it goes.  Regardless, I will post how everything turns out after the party.  Promise.
