Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
Amanda @ Gratefully Growing in Grace says
You have a great quiet book! I love the camping page. I especially like how you used non-fabric things throughout; especially on the barn page. I made a similar barn in my recent quiet book but I think I like yours better!

You did an amazing job!
I have always wanted to make one of these, but it seemed so daunting.
Now my girls are way too big for it, but maybe I can make one as a gift!
Thanks for the inspiration.

carol cox says
that has to be the cutest baby book i have seen in years… thanks for all the work that went into to it, including the tutorial… i will be making this…
Brandy says
Thank you Carol! It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it!
Lisa says
I love how you don’t use felt real heavily. Most people it seems make the entire book out of felt, and I’m just not convinced it will hold up…Beautiful job!
Brandy says
Thank you Lisa! I’ve noticed with other projects that felt tends to pill too and look ratty over time so even though it was a little more work, zig sagging the cotton seemed to work well and it’s held up great so far! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
Karen Broadwater says
Absolutely awesome! Thank you! 🙂
Claudia says
Could you please tell me how to attached the small eyelets or gourmetts to each page. I am to that part in making a quiet book, but I am haveing a lot of trouble the tools I need to finish it. Thank you so much.
Brandy says
Sure thing! The grommets I used game with a tool that I used. I used scissors to make a tiny hold, then set the grommet/eyelet front and back around that (sandwiching the fabric between) then used the tool with a hammer to set it correctly. Let me see if I can find a link that shows what I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YQMEUO?keywords=dritz%20grommet%20kit&qid=1446479319&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 I used smaller grommets, but this was the type of kit I bought. I has a small tool inside to help them snap together when hammered. Hope that helps!
