Quiet book, stage 1

Recipe for amazing quiet book:

3 weeks (with a deadline!)
14 highly motivated women
sewing guidelines
patience

Here's the result (note that I haven't put the pages into book form):

I still need to put stuff in the Mommy bag--like TicTacs and my old cell phone. The swing really swings!



There are finger puppets that go in the barn pocket


I did this layout--you put a hot wheels size car in the yellow "garage", and the yield and stop signs come off with Velcro.


There is a screw driver to go in the tool box, too


There are two little envelopes that really open up for little notes! On the blue pocket there is a spot for a pencil and paper, the bird is removable, and the flag buttons on and off.


This was a LOT of cutting!!


Stay tuned for round two, coming up in 4 weeks!

Wow!! Those are amazing. I'm both relieved and disappointed that I didn't sign up, all at the same time!!

that's awesome. did each of you work on a page? Or how did you work this out? I really need to make something for my boys. They are crazy at church lately.

LOL! It took so much work I'd charge way more than anyone would pay. :o)
