A Quiet Book

I made Hannah a Quiet Book for her first birthday.
She's really into owls.  R-E-A-L-L-Y.  She can whooooo with the best of them and she recognizes an owl whether it's my half inch owl necklace pendant or a five-foot owl on a recycling truck.  She's quite a remarkable one year old if I say so myself, and I can say so because I'm her Mama Sherry. :) 

So, I didn't even have to think twice about what to put on the cover of her quiet book.
 

And, without further ado, here are the pages of Hannah's Quiet book.

 Peek-a-boo!



 Button the flowers.
 
Jingle the kitty's bow tie.

 
 
 Shuck the corn.


Peek in the birdy's nest.


 
The butterfly's wings make a happy, crinkly sound when little hands play with them.

 
Where's the doggy?

 
There he is on his ribbon leash.
 
 
 One, two, tie my shoe.

After finishing up the quiet book, I made a special card and...
 
...pulled out the little owlet I had already made, and...
 
...packed them all into a comfy little box and shipped them off up north to Indiana.
 
Note:  I used Simplicity Pattern 3709 for the Quiet Book.

  3. That is a darling book! I made one 16 years ago for my grandson to take on a plane trip - Considering I have more grands coming all the time I should probably make another one now. You make it look easy - and certainly fun!
