My two-year-old has recently become obsessed with Toy Story. She watches at least one Toy Story movie a day (sometimes two) and runs around at night proclaiming that she's Buzz Lightyear. So I was especially delighted when Magda (who made this incredible Christmas quiet book) made and sent me a Toy Story quiet book! This book is awesome. It's so cute and so well made. The first page has a matching Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and three of the green little aliens. The second page is a dress-up Mr. Potato Head page. The third page is a "Pizza Planet" page, with pizza slices that have different numbers of pepperoni pieces for counting. That's followed by a piggy bank/color matching page. Finally, the last page has Lotso, with different trashcans and a trash truck for matching shapes. I love this quiet book and wish I had one for my Toy-Story-obsessed little girl. It looks so fun! Enjoy! Interview What's your name? Describe yourself in one sentence. My name is Magda. I'm Polish but currently living in China. I'm a stay-at-home mum of 2 kids. Who did you make this quiet book for? How old are they? The Toy Story Book was a birthday gift for a 3-year-old boy. What's your level of sewing experience? Although I've been sewing for a year now I still consider myself to be a beginner. How long did it take you? Each book for about 3 weeks. I sew mostly in the evenings for about 2-3 hours. Did you use any templates? Where can they be found? I used coloring pages as templates. I used jocelynandjason.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/mr-potato-head-quiet-book-pages-10-11.html for a potato head :) How did you bind your quiet book? I sewed the pages together with embroidery floss. What material are the pages made out of? Felt What other materials did you use? Snaps, Velcro How much did all the supplies cost you? Not sure. I had all the supplies at home. What's your favorite page? Why? I really like Woody and Buzz and I am very happy with the pizza page. Thank you so much for submitting your awesome book, Magda!

Remember when I said I wanted to outfit a crafting suitcase? I chose this wooden case because, even though it was in pretty good shape, the outside had begun peeling a bit. I gutted the inside (which was actually pretty easy since the lining was a bit dry-rotted. I had this really fun fabric with desserts and the days of the week...love it so much! I thought it would make a great new covering for the case. I cut the squares out and individually mod-podged them on, patchwork-style. It was a lot easier than dealing with large sections of fabric that can easily get air bubbles trapped underneath. I still have some air bubbles but not as many as I would if I'd used bigger pieces. You can't really see it but I embroidered some of the squares and added embellishments. (I was going to use this fabric for another project that I ditched) I lined the inside with pages from an old dictionary. But before I put in the pages, I glued a cookie sheet to the back of the interior of the suitcase top. I glued super strong magnets to the backs of circle bead organizers... And then filled them with all sorts of buttons and jewels and bits and bobs. (Oh, and I used red linen bookbinding tape to finish up the edges of the interior.) The circle bead organizers came in these clear plastic boxes that made perfect trays for papers and stuff that was too big to fit in the circles. So here I am, all packed and ready for my trip to St. Louis!
