And Now For Something Completely Different...


Hello from my iPad! I've never blogged this way before but since I took the pics of my most recent project on here I thought this would be the easiest way to do it! 

I've decided to start this new blog to document sewing and craft projects. My first post is going to be relatively short because I don't have much to say about it yet...its a WIP. :) 

My sons occupational therapist told us he needs to keep working on some fine motor skills so I decided to make him a "busy book" or "quiet book" to help him work on his motor functions. I was inspired by this super cute one by Forty Two Roads. Hers is way cuter but my kiddo doesn't care about all the pretty stuff and embellishments--its all about function here! It's a work in progress but here's what I did today. 

All of the clothes or doodads on the pages were purchased at a local thrift store for less than $10. The backing is some placemats I picked up at Dollar Tree. More pages will be added as I find things for him to work on. I have some belts and some Velcro page ideas.
