So, I'm finally posting pics of the finished quiet book. It was an easy first project, although there were a LOT of small details that made me crazy! Haven't really sewn much since finishing it (about a year ago), it kinda burnt me out, but Lizette does like playing with it.
Here's the cover.
Page 1: God separated dark from light (this picture is supposed to be with the buttons on top, but can't get that right)
The page is divided into two parts and the bottom part is a flap that you can turn over and button up.
Day 2: God separated the waters.
When you untie and open the page, the ocean is a pocket at the bottom that holds clouds that can be snapped into place.
The raindrop on the cloud moves up and down (from the ocean to the cloud).
Day 3: God created dry land and grew food and vegetation on the dry land.
This page has a lot to do! You can match the flowers with the corresponding color and button them on and you can weave the grass. The cloud snaps on and off. Also, there are 3 rows of carrots, onions, and radishes that you can "pick."
Day 4: God created the sun, moon, lights in the sky, and seasons. The tops of the trees velcro on and off. The moon is a shell button that "rotates" around the earth.
Day 5: God created the water creatures and the birds in the sky.
This page has fish that you can move back and forth. The strip down the middle keeps the strings in place and keeps them from getting all tangled (this was added after I was done, but was desperately needed).
On the bird page, the yellow bird and the butterfly are finger puppets. There was an owl finger puppet that was my favorite, but it's MIA right now.
The Caterpillar also snaps on and off and can be put inside the cocoon. Then there's a pocket on the back of the cocoon with a butterfly.
The eggs in the nest snap in and out. One of the eggs has a pocket that a little baby bird can be taken out of.
Day 6: The land dwellers and creepers.
This page is a safari with a pocket that zips open. There are animal finger puppets inside the pocket.
The next day 6 page has a cloth paper doll, held in place by a snap along with her clothes in an attached bag. Her underwear is velcro and all her clothes are velcro. This is Lizette's favorite page.
Day 7: God Rested. The letters and numbers are traced on the page with colored markers and can be matched and snapped on and off. There's an attached baggie that they can all be kept in.
The End- or is it "The Beginning"...(I know cheeseball, but I couldn't resist).
