Cupcake Quiet Book

     So this post will be short and sweet because lets face it I don't have time to write a long story about how I made this book. I will say that I got the pattern from my favorite recourse, imagineourlife.com Here is the link for the pattern http://www.imagineourlife.com/2012/06/11/baking-cupakes-quiet-book-page/ and she goes into detail about she creates here pages!

     I loved making this book and the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy it too! I have recently decided to sell my Quiet Books so stay tuned for that!

Farm Quiet Book #2

This book I made for my 15 month old so it's a little more friendly to her age. 
Click on the picture for a larger view 

This is by far my favorite page. Match the head to the correct animal. When I told my husband about this idea originally he thought it would be a little morbid, but I think it turned out pretty cute. My little one loved it! 
When my daughter was opening the eggs she would say "Cheep Cheep" It was really cute. 

There is all kinds of fun things happening with this page. The duck swims back and forth, lots of peek-a-boo animals, raining cloud made with tread and beads, and a bunny in her rabbit hole.

                           
For the veggie garden I decided to attach the veggies with ribbons to avoid losing them. Now the firefly is where it gets really fun. I took a LED lite from one you would find in a bouncy ball or one of those weird squishy toys and I placed it in the backside of the firefly. When you push it, it lights up red and blue! 

I made a pocket right out of the page for the puzzle pieces. These are 2 sided puzzles. I made it that way so there weren't so many pieces.

And that's it! I hope you like them!

Barn Quiet Book #1


Well after 2 months I have finally finished these Quiet Books.

I made a finger puppets ....

Then a hen house and fruit tree. The door on the hen house I made with a wipe container lid. The tree didn't turn out quite like I wanted but it looks okay. You can have a orange, apple or lemon tree.

Must have a vegetable patch with basket.... 

This is my favorite page from this book. Caterpillar on the tree limb and butterfly in the cocoon.

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.
