New Cupcake Hat

Here is a new cupcake design. It is made with pink pompom yarn which gives it a more full effect. It also looks more realistic which I love. What do you think? Should I make more like this? If you would like to order one there are 3 ways to reach me. My Etsy shop, my Facebook page, by e-mail jaclynschaer@sbcglobal.net

Quiet Book completed!

It felt like a long time coming but here it is! My first ever Quiet Book. I had so much fun making it and can't wait to make the next one! Although since I have been neglecting making hats, I should probably make a few before I start another Quiet Book. :) I received my inspiration from many different places. Here are a few to mention:

For the rest check out my Pinterest http://pinterest.com/jschaer1/quiet-books/

What inspired me to make a QB was my daughters. They love books! So I started looking for a cute quiet book to buy. Well not only where most of the QB's the same, they cost so much! (Now I understand why, they take a lot of time!) That's when I decided to make it myself.
                                                                         
Well here it is!

Page 1 time to wake up. 

Here is her wardrobe. I made interchangeable heads so she could have different hairstyles and faces.    

Time for breakfast.

So I may have gone a little crazy on the details. I just had fun with it! The sponge comes out and you can put dishes in the sink!  

Now the fruits I did not make. I bought them at Michael's on clearance. I thought they were really cute and would be way to time consuming to make on my own. 

Just another cupboard for food. 


So this is another page I went crazy with. The socks are magnetic so it will stay when matching socks. The towels come out of the basket as well as the toothbrush. I also put in a real mirror. I hate the "fake" mirrors.   

Fun purse stuff. 

Time for mail and groceries. I added the brown bag to hold all the fruit for the refrigerator. 

The flowers in the garden are removable. I crocheted them for a different texture. Also the mail flag moves.  

And there you have it! Please feel free to leave your input or links to other quiet book pages! If you would like to see more pictures please go to my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Schaer-Talents/352373777481  Thanks everyone!

The start of my 1st quiet book

So I have been putting a lot of time into making my daughter a quiet book. These are a few pages that are close to being finished. It has been so much fun but so time consuming.
