This week is going slooooow! We recently got back from my birthday weekend at the beach and I already feel like I need another vacation! Jax has been a handful, but at the same time, having another language explosion. It’s really crazy how much he talks now! I constantly have people asking how old he(…)
First, a quick announcement – the winners of the camping quiet book page felt and supply give away! The two winners of mini LED lights are Renee R. and Jean J. The grand prize winner of felt, crinkle material, a mini LED light and some clear vinyl is Ashley S. Congrats! I’ll be emailing you(…)
Camping! S’mores! Lanterns! This page is sponsored by American Felt and Craft, who provided the felt and crinkle material. When AF&C reached out to me about providing felt for some of my designs, I knew it was meant to be… The next page I had planned to make was a camping one, and the gorgeous(…)
I have some super creative readers! I love when you guys take my patterns and change them, embellish them or completely twist them into something unique and new! Here is a version of my cupcake page sewn by Jaclyn S. My goal was to make this page even more interactive by making the eggs open(…)
The is page is a fun way to use up all those scraps of felt you generate while making a quiet book. Plus, it is a lot of fun to play with! You can match the vehicles to the buildings they go with, drive on the roads or “park” them for storage by tucking the(…)
I’m almost done the city quiet book page that I’ve been creating with my scraps of recycled polyester felt. But for my next quiet book page, I’ll be using beautiful wool blend felt provided by our new sponsor, American Felt and Craft (more on that here.) I’ve never worked with it before, and I’m really(…)
Back in January, I wrote up a review of all the quiet book pages I had designed and sewn since beginning in September of 2011. Six months have passed and I’ve gotten so much done. Time for another look back! Click a thumbnail below to visit a post: (…)
I took a little break from making quiet book pages and patterns to do some sewing purely as a creative outlet. I wanted something that could be used as the newest masthead at the top of the blog (Not reading this on the site? Come see!) and also be framed and hung up on the(…)
First, I’m very excited to announce our randomly selected winner of the Farmer’s Market quiet book page kit! Congratulations, Alison Regan! I haven’t done links in a while because I’ve been so busy. Busy = very little time for reading crafty things online. But I finally got almost caught up on my RSS feed reading,(…)
A quick note: Don’t forget to enter out blog-iversary giveaway for a chance to win a kit to sew your very own Farmer’s Market quiet book page! You have until Wednesday. I am super excited to have this page all done. It’s one of the pages I’ve known I wanted to do since I was(…)
Our little blog is 1 year old this month! While I’ve been making websites since 1997 and blogging since 1998, it wasn’t until I had my little Jax that I decided to create a separate blog for all things crafty, creative and kid-friendly in our lives. It actually took a few months before I started(…)
I’ve been quiet here on the blog while working on a large sewing project, though I’ve been posting regular updates on the Facebook page. I took a break from quiet book sewing to make a birthday present for one of Jax’s friends who was turning 2 years old. His friend adores all of Eric Carle’s(…)
