The Completed Quiet Book!
After Years, Months, and DAYS of preparation.
It's done!
Here it is.
I now present to you--
I gave it a simple (-- too simple?) leather cover for the front and back. I wanted something really sturdy that would protect my little book. I might go back to the cover some day and add something to it, but for now it suits me.
Page 1 is a simple page with just the word FAMILY and our picture. All around the green fabric I sewed on clear vinyl so the picture is removable. It is closed with a small piece of Velcro.
Page 2 is the Family Tree page (click here for the tutorial). The kids can put the apples where ever they want. The pictures are sewed on with clear vinyl and are placed around the tree with velcro. The apples are stored when not in use behind the tree.
Page 3 is Miss Ladybug where inside the zipper is the lady bug's circles which can be attached onto the ladybug with snaps.
Page 4 is a simple countdown and blast off to the moon.
Page 5 is practicing tying laces with the football laces. (Notice the small grommets I used on this page. I talk about grommets here.)
The next two pages I made sure were next to each other. I really loved making these barns.
Page 6 is the Tractor Barn. I bought some John Deere fabric that I couldn't resist making soft tractors with.
Page 7 is the animal barn with 4 little finger animal puppets.
Page 8 is the Temple page with felt flowers that can be rearranged with the buttons.
Page 9 is straight up kid overalls that the kids can practice doing different snaps and zippers.
Page 10 is the egg page with six different little guys in each egg.
Page 11 is the counting button page.
Page 12 is actually the favorite page and has gotten the most played with. The kids take out keys and locks and try to figure out which key goes to which lock.
Whoa, made it!
What a Fun project this has been.
It really did not necessitate three years of my life to make....but you know how these things go.
