I love all the Russian doll items around at the moment. Not wanting to miss out, I just had to make this 2012 diary.

The dolls head scalf, dress and apron have been carefully machine sewn onto the white cotton diary cover. The dolls hair and face have then been carefully hand painted using permanent fabric paint. This diary has a removable cover so that when you have finished you can slip it on another A5 notebook that you can find in most stationers. It also has the advantage of being machine washable if it gets a bit grubby.

A lot of care and attention goes into making each diary.

This is an A5 diary (148mm x 210mmm).
