Don't forget to sign up for my birthday giveaway! It ends tomorrow night! I am on vacation. I love vacation. I am spending time with my family, hanging out in my parent's super perfect yard, letting my girls run barefoot in the grass, reading, crafting (or at least planning to), talking for hours with my mom (which explains why I've only planned my crafts), playing with my nieces and nephew, napping whenever I want to, not working. It's wonderful. But, I digress. To get here, I flew. Me and my two girls. Alone. I was a little nervous about the whole thing. So, I decided that the best defense would be to be well prepared. I knew right away that I wanted to make a quiet/activity book. I have had so much fun making this! Seriously, I'm addicted. (And, between you and me, I've been playing with the idea of selling these pages...let me know what you think!) I managed to finish 5 pages before we left, but I have many more ideas running around in my head (and on my Pinterest page). So, enough talk. Let me show you the first page. I made each page so that it could stand alone. It has the eyelets on the side so that I can tie them together with ribbon or using ring clips. This way, I don't have fighting over the book. *essential* Here is what it looks like inside: It is a dot-to-dot! Each dot is a different color and the string has matching dots. (I was going to sew numbers on the string of dots, but my girls are young and still learning to match colors. Numbers are just not necessary at this point.) The best part is, the dots are magnetic! There are teeny tiny (but super strong) magnets sewn into the dots on the page and the dots on the string. I had so much fun making this page! And, honestly, I have spent a lot of time playing with it. It's kind of thrilling to put the string close and have the dots snap together...almost like magic!

Sarah Z. Short is a multidisciplinary artist based in Richmond, Rhode Island. Residing in the woods informs her practice — this quiet place is where she creates her collages from vintage materials. Old papers are Sarah’s favourite, like the ragged edges of a worn book cover and the marks that readers leave on the pages over time. The beauty in these vintage materials comes from the history that we’re unaware of, but Sarah’s work gives them new life. We recommend zooming in to get an idea of how this work comes to life in person. The texture and depth created by the layers of vintage paper offers a stunning semblance of dimension — only able to be fully conveyed through this original work.

Page 2 of the quiet book starts here. Inside is a pocket and two permanent links. They are sewn into place. In the pocket are the strips for the chain. Each end has Velcro on it. The idea is to build a chain... Pretty simple, really. This one took some time for my girls to figure out. They were more interested in making the strips bracelets or using the Velcro to attach the strips together to form necklaces or headbands or crowns. They figured out the chain thing on Sunday and it kept them happily occupied (together!) for a good 45 minutes. Beautiful! *To see page 1, click here. Linking up with the usual parties!

I saved my favorite page for last. Here is the cover. Ooooh! Doesn't that just invite fun? Open it up and this is inside: Three pockets and a blank face. The face has magnets sewn in where the eyes, nose, mouth, hair and ears would be. There is a big pocket on the top of the pocket page for hair and other items... ...and the three smaller pockets are for eyes, noses, and mouths. Here is what can be found in the pockets. Put them together and all sorts of fun ensues! Here is a sampling: As with all of the others, this one is made to stand alone or it can be hooked up with all the others. And, yes, there is a space for ears that is yet to be utilized. I'll get on that. =) I've got many more ideas for quiet book pages and I'm really excited to start making some more. Do you have any ideas you are working on or that you might like to see me attempt? Page 1: Dot to Dot Page 2: Fabric Chain Page 3: Matching Page 4: Marble Maze Linking up!

They are easily transportable and can be used for kids when they need to be entertained quietly (like at church or the waiting room at the doctor's office) or just around the house. To see a million example, just ...continue reading →
A Quiet Book is a perfect gift for Birthdays, Baby Showers, Baptisms, Communions etc. A Montessori Activity Book can be used at home, on the plane, at a restaurant and whenever you need to entertain your children. Compose your quiet book by choosing the pages/activities most suitable for your children (1-30), add the cover (A-F) and tell me the name for the cover. You can choose the format from 4-6-8-10 pages. The cover is not considered an activity page and is included in the price. My quiet books grow with your children. In fact, over time you will be able to add new pages! Perfect as a gift idea! Size: 20*20cm (The colors and background of the pages may vary from those of the images.) If you prefer an already finished product, to be received in a few days, visit the "Prompt Delivery" category on my shop, to see the products ready for shipping. This silent book is designed to engage preschoolers in an educational and fun experience, perfect for developing their motor, cognitive and creative skills. Entirely stitched, this book is the result of hours of passion and dedication. The attention to detail and the search for activities most suitable for children's development make it a precious product that will make your children happy and accompany them on their growth path. They also represent an excellent entertainment opportunity to keep children away from screens, at restaurants or during long waits. The cover can be personalized with the name and subject you prefer. It is also possible to customize the doll (boy or girl, hair color and length)! (Remember to specify this when purchasing) !! ALL JULY AND AUGUST ORDERS WILL BE SENT AFTER SEPTEMBER 15TH!!

(Thanks to you all on the previous giveaway post who left notes like 'hi' and 'I miss you'. I haven't gotten around to emailing you all back...but 'hi &I miss you too!') Like I said earlier, August is birthday month here at Everyday Celebrations. This month is two years since I thought, 'Hmmm...I hope someone buys my stuff' as I posted my first items on Etsy. The shop has grown and the blog has gained many a readers over the last few months. I love my little hobby that has turned into something a little more and can honestly say, 'I am loving what I'm doing.' One of my favorite projects to date has been this little lovely... So I thought it would be VERY appropriate to make one of these cute little books for one of you wonderful readers out there! Yay! (The completed book may be a tad different, since I use my scraps to make this book. But it will be exactly the same in every other way.) So, I am all for simplicity. Just leave a comment with your name and, if needed, an email addy so I can let you know you won! Also, because it will make it funner more fun, let me know what 'color' you are feeling like today. So I will start: My name is LeAnne. Today I am feeling very aquaish. I am feeling very happy, relaxed, carefree, and ready to go cool off in the pool. What color are you feeling? The giveaway will run from today Wednesday, August 11th - Monday, August 16th. I will announce a winner Tuesday morning the 17th. Good luck and stay tuned. I have some fun news to share in the next couple of weeks and of course some more yummy patterns and tutorials are on the way!

UPDATE: Here is the link to the post that includes the templates. If you have any trouble accessing them, please let me know! Pretty Princess Quiet Book So to kick-start my blog officially, I've decided to begin with one of the projects I've been working on for a while. It's not that it was incredibly difficult (though it did take an overwhelming amount of time, since I had to create all the patterns for each piece) It's just that, well, when you have a two year old and a newborn, it can be a little hard to find the time to get dishes done, dinner on and the house cleaned. It's nearly impossible to get even begin to conceive working on projects. But with the holidays coming I really wanted to finish this book (In part so I could get working on new ideas!!). I wanted to do something girly, pink, and princessy (yep, that's now a word). Most of the ideas are my own but a couple I got from Pinterest (who hasn't?). I'll do my best to site my resources. But all of the patterns are ones I made. Feel free to copy any ideas, but if you'd like to save yourself hours, upon HOURS, creating patterns, I will be posting the templates here on the blog once I can figure out how to upload a PDF. I decided against selling the templates. My gift to my readers!! And who doesn't like that?! Here it is!! Enjoy!! I decided to do the cover as an actual book, instead of just a front and a back. (Pardon the photos...It was late) It's all one piece, bound like you would do a quilt binding. I put a thin batting between layers to make it a little thicker. I embroidered the "Quiet Book" on the front with my Brother machine. For the lettering on the name I just cut out some fabric, Ironed on some stabilizer I got from Joann's and then used a zig-zag stitch. To hold all the pages together I used two Eyelet stitches next to each other (you could also use a button hole stitch) so that I could put binder rings through. That way I can change out the pages when she gets bored of the princess pages. The cover is not included in the template for purchase, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about it. If you do have any questions, please feel free to contact me or leave comments! Now for the pages! This is the first page I made. This was before I decided to do the rest of the book off a Disney-inspired theme. I decided to keep this page, though, because I like the idea of being able to dress up a crown using magnets. I considered using snaps, but since she will be taking this quiet book to church, I wanted to keep it fairly simple for now. There are 10 magnets sewn into two layers of the crown. These magnets were purchased at Harbor Freight, but I'm sure you can find them other places too. Sewing the magnets into the crown was a little tricky, and were I to do it again, I would probably take the template, mark where the magnets were to go, sew them in, and then cut out the crown, because it was a hard to keep those tiny little buggers in place! I bought the jewels in a packet of mixed shapes and colors at Joann's and then I used E-6000 glue to glue the magnets onto the backs of the jewels. If you've never used this glue, it is AMAZING. It is far superior to super glue, in my opinion and when you're trying to glue smooth surfaces like this, I haven't found anything better. Some of you may have other glue that you like, and that's just fine, but keep in mind that if the magnet comes off, it may end up in your child's mouth. Always keep an eye on your child when playing with this. Safety first!!! For the adorable little pouch, I just used one from the Dollar Store. You can use whatever you want (there's no template for it) or you can also buy a pencil pouch and put it at the end of the book. That's what I did for one of the pages coming up. For this pouch I just sewed about half way up the sides and across the bottom. Isn't it just perfect for this page?! Lucky Dollar Store find! This is what the magnets look like glued onto the jewel. Here we have the Beauty and the Beast inspired page. This was also a pattern I created. I like this page because it was fairly simple and I don't know about you, but my daughter loves to look at herself in the mirror! I tied to find a flimsy mirror that would break. The kind they put on baby toys. I called a number of places but couldn't find one. Instead I used a real mirror...I know, what was I thinking?! But the flimsy mirrors scratch pretty easily, making it hard to see your reflection, and I think with all of the padding around it we'll be okay. I sewed around the opening to make sure the felt doesn't stretch over time. You can decide what you want for yours, and if you happen to know where you can get pretend mirrors, please, share your wisdom! You could also use a different fabric for your background to make it a little more fun. Since I had plenty of white already cut out and ironed onto some interfacing, I chose to keep it white. With my next ones I think I'll use different colored fabrics. Next comes the Cinderella-inspired page I first started with the glass slipper. My daughter is really into Cinderella, so I definitely wanted a page like this. I decided since the glass slipper shatters, it'd be fun to have her do a puzzle. I'm thinking it may be a little advanced for her right now, so I'll have to help her a lot with this one. You'll have to cut out three slippers. The first one is appliqued to the page. Then I cut out the next to and cut out the puzzle pieces. I sewed them together and then sewed button holes to each piece. On the appliqued piece I drew lines where the puzzle pieces would fit and then zig-zag stitched along the lines, so she'd know where each puzzle piece fit. Then I sewed on the buttons to each section and then hot glued some rhinestones onto the buttons. When the page was done it still felt a little empty, so I made a "Gus-Gus" for her that she could make "scurry" across the page. For the Gus pieces, I just used the hot glue gun to put all the pieces on. Then I cut the outline of his body in brown so that I could glue the upper and lower portions together, leaving a space in the middle for the ribbon to go through. I sewed the ribbon to the page. She loves it! Right now "Tangled" is her favorite movie, so of course I had to include this Rapunzel-inspired page. I got the idea for this page here but I wanted the tower to look a bit more like the "Tangled" version. I have to be honest, I'm not the best at stitching faces! I got the hair accessories at Walmart, but I'm sure you can find them other places. When my daughter is a little older this page will be great for practicing braiding as well! This page is one of her favorites. This brings me to the last two pages, and by far the most time consuming! The dress up page is also one of my favorites. I got the inspiration for the dress-ups from here. The castle is my design and was done on the sewing machine. Again, feel free to use this for your own dress-up inspiration; however, the template for these dresses and hair took hours. Here is an example of the dress-ups with the dress and hair. Hopefully you can guess who it is! (If you didn't guess Anna from Frozen, please don't tell me. I'm under the delusion that the dresses look enough like the princesses dresses to recognize them!) For all the dresses and hair I just cut out the pieces and used the hot glue gun to put them together. If you want to be really impressive you can use the machine to stitch them together. I just don't have that much time! From left to right, top to bottom: Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Jasmine, Elsa, Mulan, Belle, and Anna. Also included in the templates but not shown in the picture are Meg (from Hercules), Rapunzel and Pocahontas. Left to right, top to bottom: Ariel, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Jasmine, Meg, Belle, Rapunzel, Pocahontas, Anna and Mulan. Also included in the template, but not shown in the photo is Elsa. And with all those close, of course you need a place to put them!! This wardrobe was designed by me. Inside the doors is a pocket to hold the clothes. It doesn't fit them all, so this last picture is just to show you what I bought at Walmart to hold all the extras. For this page I cut out the wardrobe and appliqued it on. Then I cut out the doors and zig-zag stitched around the three sides that aren't sewn down. Then I sewed the edges of the doors that would fold out to a brown rectangle and then appliqued the "hinged" sides to the wardrobe. (I'll include more detailed pictures) Then I stitched the bottom of the brown pocket to the wardrobe so the pieces wouldn't fall out the bottom. Last, I sewed on some buttons. Here is the pencil holder I purchased from Walmart. It just happened to have binder holes that fit the quiet book perfectly! For each of the pages I ironed on medium-weight interfacing. I sewed whatever was supposed to be on the page, then sewed two pages, right sides together, leaving an opening on one side to turn right sides out. I top-stitched around the edges. For the grommets, I just purchased a small package at Joann's that came with the tool to "install" them. It was the first time I've ever put in grommets and I have to admit, it was a lot easier than I expected! I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted the holes to be about the same as a three-ring binder, so I just used a piece of lined paper as a guide for the holes. I marked where I wanted the holes to be and then cut an X where I had made the mark. You don't want the X to be too big, or you may have problems with fraying. There are plenty of tutorials online, but if there is any interest I can make a short video explaining the process. And there you have it!! And I was able to get it done just in time for Christmas! Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions! And if you love burlap don't forget to stop by later to see the next project I conquered!
