I have been working so hard on getting this project finished. As soon as I started researching sewing machines...I knew that I wanted to make a quiet book. It was so much work, but it was also a great learning experience. I was able to learn how to do button holes & zippers without caring if I messed up a little bit because the boys could really care less how perfect they look. So, here are the first pages. I plan on making more. I already have a Noah's Ark page made, but I need another page for the back.
The cover for our quiet book. Pretty simple!
A counting lady bug page
Piggy Bank with coins inside AND a flower pot with button flowers
Grandpa's Jeep with a "bumpy" road & an assortment of wheels AND the front of the tic tac toe board
The back of the tic tac toe board..the yellow "bucket" is to keep the "X" & "O" in AND a cute little apple tree with a bucket to hold the apples
A felt tool box with some fun tools AND a fun tent. Inside of the tent is a cute little teddy bear.
A fun stop light & a teddy bear to play dress up
The black "envelope" holds all of Teddy's clothes AND a roadway
Shapes
You did such an amazing job! I've always wanted to make a quiet book for my boys, and I started one before Carson was even born, but I never finished it. They are tons of work! I'm impressed :)
