This has been taking up all of my time and I am kind of glad that there are at least a couple pages put together so I can take a little break (even though I still have three to put together - including a magnetic tic tac toe one that curt can't wait for - and many many more I want to do).
Cover - oil cloth, I still need to buy the rings so it is put together with yarn
Page one - the lettering is all done with iron-ons
The froggy mouth is a zipper - with felt bugs inside
The rocket page is my favorite - designed after the rocket ship on Ian's japanese eating mat on his little table - the planets velcro on and off.Actually the watermelon is designed after that mat too - seeds are snaps.
The robots arms and legs are brads so they move - and the doggy has a leather nose, furry ears and a sandpaper paw
THis page has netting in the basket so you can see what is in there (thanks laura's mom for that good idea and for pattern book!)
I also just finished pillow cases to go with the comforter of Gran's that I made this summer (you can't tell but they are made with the same fabric that I backed the quilt with) - I am a sewing fool. Next up chair cushions for the kitchen and a little curtain - but I need moms help :(

i'm speechless. it's talent beyond response.
Wow Amy. Did you develop that entire book on your own? I am inspired. I want to make one! Not that anything would ever remedy the craziness of our daughter in church. And the quilt is fantastic. Ok. So give me some tips so I can make one of those fantastic books.
I'm sure you are making Ashley jelous and she'll just have to make one for Parker! The book is so cute. What a lot of work! Ian is a lucky boy!
Carrie - I had a book from the 1960s that I got from my friend Laura Daines mom - which was super cute and old school but kind of cheesy so I made most of the patterns myself. Just buy nice felt (like 100% wool). I'll send you any of the patterns that you want. and it has been helpful - but sacrament is always a little bit of a nightmare.
Oh my goodness! I've been searching & searching for a pattern for a quiet book! Yours is beyond anything I've ever seen! Could you let me know how to get a copy of the pattern? Please Please Please

Where did you get your iron-on numbers for your clock. I have looked and looked and can't find any cute ones that are small enough.
Hi, I have been searching for a busy book pattern to make for my little man. I LOVE yours! Would you mind sharing the patterns with me?
Hi, I would love to make one of those cute busy books too. Could you also share your pattern with me? I would love it.
Il semble que vous soyez un expert dans ce domaine, vos remarques sont tres interessantes, merci.
