I've really been wanting to make some good quiet books for my baby girl for Christmas. I have searched high and low on blogs and internet for ideas. Here is the first book I made. Another one will be finished soon.
#1 Button on flowers
#2 A little zipper purse with a cell phone and keys inside. ( I used ribbon to attach them so they don't get lost)
#3 Tie the bow on the ballet slipper
#4 Open the farm doors and play with the finger puppets.
#5 Apples and an owl to velcro on the tree
#6 A little mini abacus with beads for counting
#7 Ice cream scoops. Count them as you stack them
#8 Going fishing! Each fish is attached with a hook and eye. (the example I saw didn't have each fish on a string, but I hope this minimizes the chance of lost fishies)
Most all of the pages are hand stitched. It makes it a little easier to add such small details on each page. I machine sewed on the velcro because in my experience it needs to be really strong to last.

How I Became Shared Jelly
When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!
