A Little Tea Cake

Sometimes during my rare trips to the local dollar store I come across something pretty interesting. I’ve snagged cool Maisto colour-changing cars for the little man, and cute bits and bobs for exchange packages. And, very occasionally, I’ve even come across some pretty cool craft supplies.

Strawberry Cake Kit

yeah, I bought another kit.

For those interested in the gritty details, the kit is from Dollarama. It comes with instructions, felt, cotton thread, a needle, and some fibre fill. It takes a year and a day to cut out all the tiny pieces, but everything goes together fairly well. The kit suggests sewing everything together, but I will admit to making use of glue for some of it.

There are six Little Cake kits all together, but I think I’ll be calling it quits after I make the strawberry one… unless I can find the grape one.
