Still no vet... I've obviously been usurped for a cowmergency of epic proportions.
I've made about 17 quiet book pages so far, I will share a few as to not bore the rest of the old folks. If you want to see more you can have me add you on facebook. Note: there may be unprofessional and immature content from time to time. Or constantly.
This was the most complicated one I've made and took me 2 weeks of constant sewing in my spare time but I love it. It's camping.
The stuff in the bowls on the table come out to make s'mores, and the sticks come out. You can "toast" the marshmallows on the stick over the fire. The fire has the batting for hot pads so it crackles when you touch it.
The cave opens and there's a bear in there. The bear comes out.
The hot chocolate on the table snaps on and off to play with. The lantern has a light up push LED keychain in it, if you push it the lantern comes on. There's a snap in the lantern to replace the keychain and/or batteries.
The girl is made with pipe cleaners so she can pose. The zipper on the sleeping bag is fully functional.
I made a fishing one - the hook has a strong magnet in it. The fish have a paper clip very securely sewn inside of them. The water is open so you can tuck the fish into any of the waves. The fishing pole does come out
Farm... the barn opens and these finger puppets are inside.
Build an ice cream cone
Doing laundry/matching socks. Each sock has a strong magnet sewn into it.
Hen and chicks (yeah, I had to):
Space exploring:
The rocket is on a zipper and opens to flames. Yes, I know my flames are sideways. I didn't purchase enough of that fabric to get them going the right direction. And how do you know that flames don't go sideways in space?
The astronaut has an open bottom of the head to slip a picture of the child in. To demonstrate that, I slipped a photo of one of my "children" in it, and there's also a hidden alien in one of the pocks.
This is the one I finished this week, sandcastles. They fit into the bucket for storage.
I started this project because I needed to learn to hand sew. My sewing teacher suggested I embroider pillowcases. I told her where she could stick that. I decided to do something that was "fun" and something that the recipient wouldn't care what it looked like, really, causing me to go insane trying to rip out bad stitches. My sewing when I first started was awful. But I didn't pick the stitches out and kept going. The sandcastles and almost all of the space except one half of the moon and the ankles/wrists is hand sewn. I've come a long way.
Hopefully I won't get banned from this group for the massive amount of photos. Sorry, y'all. I also have some cute "boy" ones - forklift and dumptruck and dinosaurs, but I think I've used up my allotted bandwidth for the day on here. I'm currently sewing Noah's ark (the boy in the family I'm sewing for is Noah, so it had to be done) and almost done with that one - just have a few more animals to sew and stuff with puffy stuffing.
