| The Project |

I decided that for the babies 1st Birthdays (My son, my niece, and my nephew), I'd create them each a "Busy Book". It's going to be sort of an activity book, where they have to undo buttons, zip zippers, snap snaps, use magnets, and a bunch of other fun activities. It will help them learn to match shapes, colors, and numbers. Each book will be slightly different, a more girly spin for my niece, Lily. A more boyish spin for my son Hayden, and my nephew Dawson.

Holy Mimosa.....

So my possibly impossible deadline is proving to be very much POSSIBLE!

I only have TWO pages left to complete and then I just have to assemble them into books!

WOW. I just zoomed through these!

All the little fishies do the hootchy cootchy dance!

This is Dawson's fishie page. Similar to Hayden's, but I chose to do a different scene!

These are also attached with bra hooks.



Blue 42! Hut, Hut, Hut!

Here's Hayden's football page! This will help him learn how to lace, and also to tie a bow!

Ice Cream Parlor, almost done! Need advice though!?!

So the Ice Cream Parlors are complete, except for the Mmm! letters. Originally I wanted it to read "Mmm!" but the lady I ordered the felt letters from did it all in caps, and I think it looks a little silly now, but I want to try to make do with these letters, so the options are:

MM!

Or.... MMM! kind of overlapped and staggered.

Which one looks best?? (i'm actually sad about this because it would have looked SO much nicer Mmm! like I had planned)

Also, for anyone curious as to how I was doing the magnets, here ya go!

I got these round magnet thingies from Dollarama. (metal disks with small round magnets) I glued the disks to the back of the page where the ice cream scoops will be stacked, and then each ice cream scoop has it's own magnet.


Love The Fishes Cause They're So Delicious! Gone Goldfishin'!

This is Hayden's Goldfish page! The fish are 'hooked' on with bra hooks. Super cute! I even stuffed the fish so they're poofy.




Lily's Closet is FINISHED!

Sorry for the delay, I have a very sick baby on my hands right now, and wasn't able to get as much done yesterday as I was hoping!

Anyway, I got some done today, so here's Lily's Closet, complete with the last finishing touches!

Took a little break....

Nothing exciting to post lately, sorry to anyone who's following along, hoping for more updates!

I had a friend come and visit, and also went on a mini-vacay to the US for a few days, so tomorrow i'm getting back to it!

Will definitely have something to post tomorrow! Stay tuned!
