Quiet Book Page 3 & 4

These are my next two pages:
First is a "Weave the Blanket" page with strips of felt that you can weave in and out of each other or make any design you want.

Next is an apple tree page. The apples have snaps on them and you can pick the apples and put them in the basket. This page has taken my more time then the others but it was fun to learn new things like how to hand sew on snaps. I tried many different ways to do the basket and I finally just got tired of this page and did the simplest basket I could come up with. It could have looked a lot cuter if I would have been willing to put in more time. But oh well, my kids will still love it. :)

Oh! I never knew that those snaps were meant to be hand sewn on. I was recently looking at the barbie clothes that your mom made(I think) and saw those snaps and wondered how the heck you did it. Cool! Looks really good Janae, keep up the good work. It's fun to see your progress.
