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!
