Let me start off by saying that I am a perfectionist; that doesn't mean that what I make is perfect, it mainly means that I will spend hours, days, month, or years on certain projects to get them the way I want them.
I have always loved crafting and learning how to do new things. I am self taught, and spend many hours scouring the internet for ideas and 'how to' explanations of all kinds. Mainly I spend my time hand sewing because it is very easy to pick up or put down when I have a few spare moments.
Right now I've got several projects in the works. The one I am most eager to finish is a quiet book for my 2 1/2 year old son. I've been working on it for quite a long time and have hand sewn almost all of it. I've never worked with felt before so it was definitely a learning experience, but I've found that I absolutely love it! I recently finished the pages and am now busy trying to put together the cover.
So far the cover has been my biggest challenge. I wanted a cover that had a zipper so that none of the small removal pieces would fall out. I also wanted it to be a bit more sturdy than the pages inside. I looked around a lot online but didn't find anything I loved so I decided to design my own cover. I'm still not entirely sure how it will turn out (I tend to just design as I go), but here is a preview of the front cover. More pictures to come soon!
