So right under the wire I was able to finish the last May pre baby project:
The Quiet Book.
The Quiet Book.
Just in case you don’t know what a quiet book is here is my post from when I made Mirah her quiet book:

Basically it is a book you can use in the car, or at church that a child can quietly play for lots of time.
Every time I work on this, which has actually been a lot over the past month, Mirah likes to get her quiet book out and play.

Over the past month, I have worked on a page or two a week. After a month of designing, cutting and gluing and sewing I was ready to do the last few things.
I had glued everything together. I needed to sew the last few things on.
So here are the pages:
Front page.
Crayon storage and a little notebook pocket.
A shapes page.
Counting page.
Under the sea bead counting.
Mr. Potato head page.
Socks matching page.
Storage for half the sox in the washer.
A dress up doll.
All ready for church!
Karl’s design and execution.
He still needs to make the actual Pokemon characters.

Lime green handles and outside.
Lime green handles and outside.
I had to do the final sewing together by hand.
Put together and finished!
I think the quality on this one is a little better than the first. I think it is mostly becasue I had been looking at my first attempt every Sunday for a couple years and had all that time to see the things I would have done differently. The things that worked and didn’t, etc. It was fun.
Here we come June project:
