Sneek peak...


I've been working hard on these quiet books for the last few weeks. They are coming together so nicely!!! I can't wait to take them to church! The page I'm working on today is my favorite so far. Bedtime is a special time here, so I'm making a bedtime page for the boy and his cousin. Complete with pillow, top sheet, quilt that matches the one on his bed, special blanket, his favorite book, and a little mini boy to tuck in at night.

A little funny story... when my husband and I got married I moved into the place he was living. Our first night home from the honeymoon we climbed into bed. I had never "been in his bed" before so I didn't know what to expect. I thought that everyone slept with sheets, pillow cases, blankets, etc. Nope. He had two sleeping bags spread out with a blanket on the top. No sheets. No pillow cases. I lasted about two minutes when I got up and said, "I'm not sleeping like this. Where are the sheets?" We found sheets and blankets and pillow cases and made the bed. Bachelors... holy moly!

So my boy is going to learn how to make a bed, in real life and in his quiet book. My favorite is the little mini pillows I made stuffed with cotton balls that go inside the cases. Everything is so cute when it's mini!
