A quiet book for Avery has been on my project list for awhile now. We have really been needing it in church lately so I decided to start. This is my Noah's Ark Page. The ark has a zippered pouch to keep some little animals that I found at the dollar spot at target. The poem on the side says this,
"The Lord told Noah what to do,
and sent the animals two by two.
The ark will keep them safe and dry,
the rain will cause the water to be high.
For 40 days the rain came down,
The Dove returned when land was found.
Then God sent a Rainbow as a sign,
A gift of His love, that forever will shine."
It was a little harder than I thought it was going to be. I already had a bunch of felt, for the page I just used an old sheet that I had, and I will line it with interfacing to make it a little stiffer and more durable. I have heard stories of kids ripping off all of the felt pieces, so I used fabric glue on all of them first and then stitched them on. The waves and little Noah I hand stitched, the rest I could do by machine. I hope Avery will like it and that it will keep her entertained for church for many sundays ahead. I am still unsure of how I want to bind it when I'm done. I also have a few other projects in mind for Sunday entertainment. I think I will also make a bag that is just for Sundays to keep things exciting. I am so excited for the next page. I should have it done by the beginning of next week. (maybe)
Have a good day!
